Wedi’i leoli ychydig islaw Castell Dolwyddelan, gydag uchelfannau Moel Siabod yn codi yn y pellter, mae 2 Tan y Castell yn rhan o ffermdy o’r 17eg ganrif — cartref sydd wedi ei wreiddio’n ddwfn yn hanes a thirwedd Eryri. Roedd y t ’n gartref i John Jones, un o bregethwyr mwyaf dylanwadol Cymru. Gyda’i furiau carreg trwchus ac manylion wedi’u crefftio â llaw, mae’r t hanesyddol hwn yn cynnig tawelwch a bywyd syml.
Y Daith
O’r tu allan, mae’n ymddangos yn ostyngedig ac yn rhan o’r tir — ond unwaith y byddwch chi y tu mewn, mae’r lle’n agor i ofodau hael ac annisgwyl. Rydych chi’n camu i mewn i’r gegin, sy’n ymarferol ac yn syml — gyda lle tan traddodiadol a phopty haearn gwreiddiol yn ganolbwynt.
Ystafell fwyta’r t , fodd bynnag, yw gwir galon y cartref. Mae’n ystafell fawr, gynnes, ac wedi’i hamgylchynu gan ddwy ffenestr Gradd II hardd sy’n edrych dros gardd. Mae’r llawr llechi, y trawstiau pren, a’r grisiau hynafol yn rhoi naws o gariad ac atgof i’r lle. Yma, mae lle i brydau hir, sgyrsiau hirach, ac i fywyd bob dydd lifo’n naturiol.
Ymlaen o’r fan honno, drwy ddrws pren trwm, mae’r ystafell fyw — un o’r rhai mwyaf y gwelwch chi mewn t o’r cyfnod hwn. Wedi’i phanelu’n llwyr â phren, mae’n le sy’n teimlo fel sanctiwm tawel. Mae stôf goed fechan yn eistedd yng nghanol y wal, yn barod i dywys nosweithiau gaeafol. Uwchben y lle tan, mae llechan wedi’i cherfio gyda’r dyddiad 1735 — marc distaw o’r amseroedd a fu. Mae’r ystafell yn cynnig nifer o olygfeydd dros yr ardd, ac mae drws yn arwain at y festri blaen a rennir gyda’r eiddo cyfagos.
I fyny’r grisiau, mae’r cymeriad yn parhau. Mae’r prif lofft yn ymlaciol, gyda lloriau pren ac ystafell ymolchi en-suite. Mae dwy lofft arall yn cynnig eu naws eu hunain, gyda golygfeydd dros y dyffryn, a’r ystafell ymolchi deuluol fawr yn llawn golau ac yn cynnig bath a chawod — gyda’r ffenestr yn edrych dros olygfa syfrdanol o’r cwm.
“Mae gerddi enfawr braf i rywun fwynhau'r awyr agored, tyfu llysiau, cadw ieir neu afr neu ddwy a thyfu planhigion sy'n gweddu i'r ardal a'r hinsawdd. Digon o sgôp yma felly i adael eich marc a mwynhau.”
Yr Ardd
Mae’r ardd yn rhan annatod o stori’r t — yn lledaenu’n dyner o gwmpas y cefn ac yn agor i lawnt eang werdd i’r ochr. Mae’r tir yma’n teimlo fel ei fod wedi tyfu ochr yn ochr â’r t — yn dawel, yn hael, ac yn llawn bywyd. Mae ardal fwyta awyr agored wedi’i chreu’n bwrpasol yma — lle perffaith ar gyfer nosweithiau hir o haf , plant yn rhedeg yn droednoeth, ac amser heddychlon dan oleuni’r machlud.
Wrth y fynedfa mae cofeb Gradd II i John Jones, un o bregethwyr mwyaf dylanwadol Cymru — tystiolaeth dawel o bwysigrwydd hanesyddol y t hwn i’r gymuned leol. Mae sied storio fach hefyd wedi’i lleoli ar y tir — yn barod ar gyfer offer, coed neu syniadau newydd. Mae gweddill yr ardd fel cynfas byw — lle ar gyfer tyfu, croesawu, neu fynd am dro ymhlith s n yr adar.
Nid gardd yn unig yw hon. Mae’n fan lle mae amser yn ymestyn, lle mae atgofion yn gwreiddio yn y corneli gwyllt, a lle mae golau meddal y bore neu’r hwyr yn lapio’r lle fel blanced. Lle i groesawu, i ymlacio, ac i garu.
Perfformiad Amgylcheddol
Mae’r gwres canolog y cartref yn cael ei redeg ar nwy LPG, a’r tanc yn eistedd yn y gardd gyferbyn a’r ty. Gan fod yr adeilad wedi’i restru’n Gradd II*, mae’r ffenestri’n un-haen, gan gynnal cymeriad hanesyddol y t . Graddfa EPC y ty ar hyn o bryd ydi ‘F’.

Tucked just below Dolwyddelan Castle, with Moel Siabod rising in the distance, 2 Tan y Castell forms part of a 17th-century farmhouse — a place deeply rooted in the landscape and story of Eryri. The house was once home to John Jones, one of the most influential preachers in Welsh history. With its thick stone walls and handcrafted details, this home holds the quiet weight of history, while offering spacious, characterful living.
The Tour
You enter into the kitchen — practical and grounded — where an original hearth and cast-iron cooker remain proudly in place. A window overlooks the courtyard, drawing in natural light and hints of the surrounding garden.
But it’s the dining room that feels like the soul of the home. Generous in scale, it features three beautiful Grade II listed windows, a slate floor, timber-beamed ceiling, and a striking fireplace that anchors the room. The staircase rises from one corner, adding to the room’s lived-in charm. This is a space for gathering, storytelling, and coming together — a natural heart to the house.
Beyond it lies a remarkable living room, lined with original timber panelling. A small wood-burning stove brings a sense of comfort and warmth, while multiple windows open up views across the garden. High on the wall above the fireplace, a piece of slate carved with the date 1735 quietly marks the passage of time. A door leads to the shared front vestibule, connecting this home with its historic neighbour.
Upstairs, the sense of space continues. The main bedroom is peaceful and expansive, with timber floors and an en suite with shower and WC. Two further bedrooms each offer their own character and views across the valley. The family bathroom is generous and light-filled, with both a bath and shower — and a window perfectly positioned to take in the hills beyond.
"There are large, lovely gardens for anyone who enjoys the outdoors — perfect for growing vegetables, keeping chickens or even a goat or two, and planting things that suit the local area and climate. There’s plenty of scope here to make your mark and enjoy it."
External
The garden is as much a part of the story as the house itself. Wrapping gently around the rear and opening into a wide green lawn to the side, the land feels like it’s grown in harmony with the house — quiet, generous, and full of life. A purpose-built outdoor dining area offers the perfect setting for long summer evenings, where children run barefoot through the grass and laughter drifts into the trees.
At the entrance stands a Grade II listed monument to John Jones — one of Wales’ most powerful preachers — a soft-spoken testament to the history this home holds close. A small shed sits tucked into the landscape, ready for tools, logs, or future projects. The rest of the garden? It’s a living canvas — with space for growing, gathering, wandering.
This is not just a garden. It is a place where time stretches out, where memories root themselves in wild corners and soft light. A place to host, to retreat, to be. A place that gently steals your heart.
Environmental Performance
The house is currently running on LPG gas central heating, with the LPG tank placed in the garden adjacent. As a Grade II* listed building, the windows remain single-glazed in keeping with the property’s historic fabric. The current EPC rating is ‘F’.
EPC Rating: F
Cegin / Kitchen
Y cegin yw’r ystafell gyntaf i’ch croesawu wrth fynd i mewn — gofod ymarferol a chroesawgar sy’n cyfuno hanes â defnyddioldeb. Mae lloriau llechan traddodiadol yn rhedeg drwy’r ystafell, gan roi naws gadarn. Mae’r llygad yn cael ei dynnu’n syth at y popty haearn o dan drawst pren trwchus — awgrym cynnil o orffennol y cartref. Mae’r gegin yn fodern ac ymarferol, gyda chypyrddau ar ddwy ochr ac mae’r ffenestr uwchben y sinc yn edrych dros yr ardd a'i adar.
The kitchen is the first room to welcome you in — a practical and inviting space where tradition meets comfort. Slate flooring runs throughout, anchoring the room in timeless style. Your eye is drawn to the cast iron stove beneath a chunky timber beam, gently honouring the home’s past. Modern and well-equipped, the kitchen has units on both sides, with a sink-side window overlooking the garden and visiting birds.
Ystafell Fwyta / Dining Room
O bosib ystafell harddaf y t , mae’r ystafell fwyta yn llawn cynhesrwydd a chymeriad. Mae’r ffenestri traddodiadol yn tynnu’r llygad yn syth, gan fframio’r golygfeydd o’r tirwedd cyfagos yn berffaith. Mae digon o le i ddeg eistedd o amgylch y bwrdd, a lle tân mawr sy’n angori’r gofod. Ystafell sy’n annog dod ynghyd — ond sy’n addas hefyd ar gyfer eiliadau tawel. Gofod â chalon a phosibiliadau.
Arguably the most beautiful room in the house, the dining room is full of warmth and charm. The traditional windows instantly draw the eye, perfectly framing views of the surrounding landscape. There’s ample space to seat ten around a dining table, and a large characterful fireplace anchors the space. It’s a room that invites gathering, but equally lends itself to quiet moments — a space with heart and flexibility.
Ystafell Fyw / Lounge
Mae’r lolfa’n ystafell fawr a chroesawgar, llawn naws dawel a chymeriad. Mae’r lloriau pren gwreiddiol a’r paneli pren cyfoethog ar y waliau yn rhoi cynhesrwydd naturiol, tra bo’r trawstiau agored yn ychwanegu at awyrgylch hanesyddol y lle. Mae’r ffenestri traddodiadol yn cario’r golau drwy’r ystafell. Mae’r tanllwyth coed yn ganolbwynt perffaith ar gyfer nosweithiau gaeafol. Mae drws hen a gwreiddiol yn arwain i’r festri blaen — tyst distaw i hanes y cartref.
The lounge is a large, welcoming space with a sense of calm and character. Original wooden floorboards and rich timber wall panelling give the room a warm, grounded feel, while exposed ceiling beams add to its historic charm. The traditional windows, echoed from the dining room, allow natural light to flow through. A log burner sits at the heart, perfect for cosy evenings in winter. A beautiful old door leads out to the shared vestibule — a lovely nod to the home’s heritage.
Ystafell Wely 1 / Bedroom 1
Mae’r brif lofft yn cynnig naws o fawredd tawel — yn gain ac ymlaciol. Gyda lloriau pren gwreiddiol a lle hael ar gyfer gwely mawr, mae’n fan encil perffaith. Mae’r ffenestr yn edrych dros y lawnt, gan greu lle delfrydol i fwynhau paned foreol. Mae en suite preifat gyda chawod a thoiled yn ychwanegu ymarferoldeb.
The primary bedroom has a soft sense of grandeur — elegant yet restful. With original wooden floors and space for a king-size bed, it offers a peaceful retreat at the heart of the home. The window looks directly over the lawn, making it the perfect spot to enjoy a morning cup of tea. A private en suite with shower and WC adds practicality.
Ystafell Wely 2 / Bedroom 2
Dyma’r lleiaf o’r tair llofft, ond nid yw’n teimlo’n fach o gwbl. Wedi’i lleoli yn y blaen, mae’r ffenestr yn edrych dros y buarth tawel. Mae’r lloriau pren gwreiddiol yn parhau yma, a lliwiau'r ystafell yn ychwanegu cynhesrwydd a chysylltiad â’r tirwedd o’i chwmpas. Mae digon o le i wely mawr, neu gallai fod yn llofft berffaith i blentyn — yn ddelfrydol wedi’i lleoli wrth ymyl y brif lofft.
This is the smallest of the three bedrooms, though it hardly feels small. Set at the front of the house, it looks out over the peaceful courtyard. The original wooden floors continue here, and the room's colours adds warmth and a connection to the surrounding landscape. There’s room for a double bed or it could make the perfect child’s bedroom — ideally placed next to the main suite.
Ystafell Wely 3 / Bedroom 3
Fe gyrhaeddwn yr ystafell fwyaf preifat yn y t . Wedi’i gosod ar wahân i weddill yr ystafelloedd, mae yma ymdeimlad tawel yma. Mae'r ystafell yn fawr a hirgul — ar hyn o bryd yn cynnwys gwely 'king size' a sengl, sy’n tystio i maint y gofod. Lloriau pren traddodiadol sydd dan draed, a'r ffenestr yn edrych dros y bryniau. Gofod delfrydol i westeion, teenager annibynnol neu fel swyddfa gartref sy’n mwynhau’r tawelwch.
Tucked away from the others, you’ll find the home’s most secluded bedroom, there’s a real sense of peace and retreat here. The room is generously long and wide — currently set up with both a 'king size' and a single bed, showing just how much flexibility the space offers. Traditional wooden floors run underfoot, and the window offers views across the hillside. Ideal for guests, a teen seeking space, or a calming home office.
Ystafell Ymolchi / Bathroom
Mae’r ystafell ymolchi deuluol hon yn llawn cymeriad ac yn manteisio’n llawn ar ei safle uchel – ble arall allwch chi fwynhau golygfeydd mor syfrdanol o’r bath a’r toiled? Mae’r lloriau pren yn ychwanegu cynhesrwydd ac yn uno’r gofod gyda gweddill y cartref, tra bo’r ystafell yn ymarferol ac yn gartref i bath a chawod. Mae’n fan ymarferol gyda danteithion bach – yn berffaith ar gyfer trochiad hir wrth syllu dros dirlun Eryri.
This bright and characterful family bathroom makes the most of its elevated position — where else can you enjoy such striking views from both the bath and the toilet? The wooden floorboards underfoot bring warmth and continuity from the rest of the home, while the room is well-equipped with both a bathtub and a shower. It's a practical space with a touch of indulgence — perfect for a long soak while gazing out at the Eryri landscape.
Garden
Mae’r ardd yn lapio’n daclus o amgylch y cartref, wedi’i hamgylchynu gan blannu aeddfed a golygfeydd eang dros Foel Siabod a Chastell Dolwyddelan. I’r ochr, mae lawnt helaeth sy’n cynnig lle i ymlacio neu fwyta yn yr awyr agored, gyda golygfa glir dros y dyffryn. Mae sied fach yn cynnig storfa ddefnyddiol, ac mae ardal barcio gerllaw. Mae hawl tramwy’n bodoli, ond efallai gellir creu mynediad preifat os dymunir. / The garden wraps neatly around the home, bordered by mature planting and far-reaching views of Moel Siabod and Dolwyddelan Castle. To the side, a generous lawn provides space to relax or dine outdoors, with a clear outlook across the valley. A small outbuilding offers useful storage, and a discreet parking area sits nearby. An easement allows shared access, though a private route could possibly be created if preferred.
