Set within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and nestled in the heart of the picturesque seaside village of Aberdaron at the tip of the Lln Peninsula, this substantial detached five-bedroom residence offers a rare blend of character, space and coastal charm. Originally the village smithy, the property has been sympathetically renovated with great care taken to preserve its heritage, including two impressive inglenook fireplaces with wood-burning stoves, exposed timber flooring to the ground floor and traditional pine latch internal doors.

The thoughtfully planned accommodation benefits from oil-fired central heating and begins with a side entrance hall leading to a welcoming front living room with wood burner, alongside a ground-floor bedroom. At the heart of the home sits a farmhouse-style kitchen and breakfast room, featuring an exposed beam ceiling and a striking stone inglenook, creating a warm and sociable space. From here, there is access to a rear utility room and a separate shower room.

The first floor comprises a master bedroom with exposed beams, two further double bedrooms and a family bathroom. A further staircase rises to an expansive loft conversion, currently used as a dormitory bedroom and leisure room, offering excellent flexibility.

Outside, there is an enclosed side garden with a small patio area and access to a side pathway, along with vehicular parking to the side elevation via the service road serving just three other properties.

Aberdaron is a characterful seaside village, particularly busy during the Spring and Summer Season, offering an excellent variety of amenities including cafes, shops and two hotels with the famous Church of St Hywyn overlooking Aberdaron Bay. The National Trust car park and Visitor centre is just a few hundred yards away, not to mention the endless stretch of Beach and access onto the Welsh Coastal footpath and organised Boat Trips to the sacred Isle of Bardsey (Ynys Enlli).

ARTICLE 4 DIRECTION – Planning permission is required for a permanent residential home (C3) to change to a second home (C5) or a holiday let (C6), and for any change between C5 and C6. No planning permission is required for a C5 or C6 property to return to a permanent home (C3).
A Judicial Review heard on 23 June 2025 resulted in the Article 4 Direction being quashed by the High Court on 24 September 2025. Gwynedd Council has applied to the Court of Appeal for permission to challenge that decision. A timescale for the Court of Appeal’s determination is not yet known and may take several months.
