About this cottage rental
My cottage is old, quirky, quite unique and very original. If you like cottages with character you will love this. If you like modern, characterless boxes please don't even consider it. It is situated in a very quiet area but only a ten minute walk from the town centre and Ffestiniog Railway in one direction and the Llechwedd Slate Mine and Zip World Complex in the other. You can also walk straight into the mountains from the doorstep.
The cottage dates back to at least 1834 and is one of the few cottages to escape the regeneration scheme in Blaenau still retaining its lovely old sash windows and original Welsh slate roof. Internally it retains a lot of the original features including a rare Welsh oven - unfortunately not in use. It is also interesting as it's one of the few cottages in Blaenau actually built of slate - which is what the town is famous for. The cottage is a little bit of Blaenau Ffestiniogs history and is mentioned twice on the Cadw (Welsh Governments Historic Environment Service) website. It has now been Grade II Listed due to its historical importance. It consists of a lounge/diner, kitchen, bathroom , double and single bedroom.
The lounge/diner has two double settees, dining table for four and a FreeSat 32" Panasonic Viera TV + Amazon Firestick with DVD player. There is a small library of DVD's, books and games available.
The kitchen is well equipped with an electric cooker, fridge with icebox, microwave, slow cooker and sandwich toaster.
The bathroom, unfortunately due to the sloping ceiling, has no shower but there is a bath with a hand held mixer shower and unlimited hot water available.
The single bedroom is a very unusual shape with two pretty little windows and the double bedroom is quite large with its own wash basin but be aware there is a step down into it but a night light is provided if required.
Be aware, there are low doorways, sloping ceilings in some rooms and steep stairs which all add to the charm of the property but might make it unsuitable for the very tall, elderly or toddlers.
Parking is available in a public parking bay about 5yds past the cottage and there is access to private enclosed parking, for 1 car only, if required.
The cottage has gas central heating and WiFi.
Bed linen is provided and gas, electricity and cleaning are included in the price.
Unfortunately, there is no garden.
The cottage quite happily accommodates 3 people but be aware it is only a small cottage.
