Cottage in Grade II

A “wonderful Welsh cottage” that is part of a Grade II listed village in the Elan Valley is up for sale.

Ty Olaf in Elan Village was originally built as a worker’s cottage when the dams were built and the whole village is under grade II listing “to preserve the beauty it offers”.

Estate Agents Holters who are handling the sale, said: “Ty Olaf translates to 'last house' and we believe it will be the last house you view before you end your property search.

“This wonderful Grade II listed property sits in the breathtaking Elan Valley. An impressive, detached holiday let was built in 2008 and sits within the grounds giving privacy to both dwellings.

"The building was built to compliment the style and character of the main house and is also covered by the grade II listing.”

The cottage is described as a “one off” and “packed full of original character features” with three bedrooms, a “generously sized” lounge with wood burning stoves and an “ample” fitted kitchen.

They add: “The lounge is a generous size, with a large bay window to the rear which overlooks the garden, there is a built-in storage cupboard and the room is open plan to the sitting room.

“There is a wood burning stove providing heating to the lounge but with a part open sided chimney, it has been well designed for heat to also flow into the study.

“Accessed off the lounge is the kitchen/breakfast room, with ample fitted wall and base units, a range style cooker, with canopy hood and a tiled floor. There is a side hall with access to the garden with a useful ground floor WC and a storage cupboard which is home to the boiler.

“The master bedroom is a pleasant double, with windows to the side and rear, the room enjoys a nice outlook over the gardens. There is an en-suite bathroom fitted with a modern white suite. Bedrooms two and three are both doubles, bedroom two is fitted with a double wardrobe. Also accessed off the landing is a shower room.”

The annexe which can be used as a let is described as “a great space, with modern décor, oak floors and wood burner it offers and extremely welcoming feel. There are glazed doors which flood light in and from which you have lovely view over the woodland to the rear. Accessed off the lounge is a large double bedroom with views over the garden”.

The garden is described as well-maintained with “paved seating areas, lawns, mature plants and shrubs the outside space has been well designed and is a lovely area to relax and enjoy the stunning surroundings.

“The garden is extremely well stocked with fruit trees – so you'll have no excuses when it comes to a bit of home baking.”

The home is right on the doorstep of one of the six Elan Valley dams and the visitor centre and a cycle path (route 81) running parallel to the road that is also accessible nearby.

The asking price for the property is £595,000 and they have stressed that the property has no onward chain. To find out more about the property you can contact Holters.
