Welsh cottage with mountain views could be yours for £79,000 which is set to go to auction

Tan Y Caerau, a traditional detached cottage with unbeatable mountain views, is set to go to auction next week.

Sat 200 metres above sea level, close to the small village of Deiniolen, the unassuming two-bedroom cottage enjoys one of the most stunning views that North Wales has to offer.

The property will be sold through Auction House North Wales with a tempting guide price of £79,000 – offering one lucky bidder the perfect rural escape.

Tan Y Caerau offers an enticing opportunity for any investor, the seller says, and is advertised as an ideal property to turn your DIY skills to.

The cottage requires modernisation throughout, but a quick look out the kitchen window at the breathtaking mountain views makes it easy to visualise the property’s true potential.

Entering the cottage, you’re greeted by spacious living areas and two double bedrooms. The property also benefits from a gas-powered central heating system, as well as double-glazed uPVC windows.

Tan Y Caerau sits just outside the Eryri (Snowdonia) National Park, in the quiet village of Deiniolen.

Originally built in the nineteenth century to house workers of the Dinorwig Slate Quarry, the village is conveniently situated 10 miles away from Bangor and Caernarfon.

Prospective buyers of Tan Y Caerau will need to brush up on their language skills, with Cymraeg being spoken by 75% of the area’s inhabitants.

Despite having a small population of just over 2,000 people, the village has a strong community spirit. Every year, during the summer, locals come together to celebrate the Deiniolen Festival.

The cottage sits in an elevated position above the village, a mile away from Deiniolen’s pub and local shop.  With access to both the coast and the mountains, the property offers an idyllic base for outdoor enthusiasts and nature lovers alike.

With its prime positioning on the slopes of Elidir Fawr, Tan Y Caerau is a haven for hikers and climbers, offering unique adventures from the moment you step outside.

Tan Y Caerau goes up for sale by online auction with Auction House North Wales on Monday, 7th August. For more information, including viewing sessions and legal packs, contact the Auction House North Wales team on 01978 631010.
