Bryn Pydew, Llandudno Junction, LL31

Overview

So, imagine this: a one-bedroom country cottage that’s full of character, tucked away in the charming village of Bryn Pydew. It has that wonderful balance of feeling cosy and steeped in history, yet it’s practical too. Out back, there’s a mature garden that feels like a little retreat, a place where you could just as easily unwind with a book as host friends on a summer evening.

What makes it even more appealing is the location: semi-rural and peaceful, yet you’re only a short drive from Llandudno, Colwyn Bay, and the A55 Expressway. Over the years, the cottage has been sensitively improved, UPVC double glazing, a generous conservatory added in 2023, and a recently fitted boiler, so you’ve got modern comfort alongside all the charm. Out front, the painted stone wall frames the cottage beautifully, with just enough space to pop out a table and chairs for that morning coffee ritual.

And here’s the thing, it isn’t just a delightful home, it’s also versatile. Perfect for a first-time buyer wanting something manageable and unique, but equally well-suited as a holiday retreat or even a thoughtful investment.

 The Tour

Step into the porch, a useful spot for coats and shoes, and you’re welcomed into the living room. It’s a cosy space (around 4m by 3.7m) with a deep-silled front window and, at its heart, a striking stone inglenook fireplace with a cast-iron wood-burning stove. It’s the sort of feature that gives the whole room warmth, both literally and in atmosphere. From here, the kitchen flows naturally, with its light wood cabinetry, plenty of worktop space, and room for a dining table. There’s an integrated oven and hob, a tucked-away larder freezer, and those homely touches like mosaic-style tiling and a beamed ceiling.

A short inner hall leads to a carpeted store room, ideal as a study or home office, and then through to the conservatory. Added just last year, it’s a wonderfully generous, L-shaped space (over 5.7m at its longest) that looks out onto the garden. It’s flexible enough to be whatever you need it to be: dining area, lounging space, or even a work-from-home corner.

Upstairs, the bedroom surprises with its size (also around 4m x 3.7m). Bright, airy, and with inset storage and LED downlighting, it feels both spacious and calm. The bathroom is a real treat: a roll-top bath for soaking, a separate curved shower cubicle, and all finished with modern fittings. The boiler is neatly tucked into a cupboard here, keeping things streamlined.

The Exterior

Step outside and you’ll find an enviable sized, mature garden, complete with apple trees, stone steps, and a proper shed at the far end. The hedged boundaries give you that lovely sense of seclusion, while the off-road parking at the back makes things practical. Utilities are well thought through too: mains water on a meter, a shared septic tank with two other cottages, and gas bottles discreetly tucked away at the rear.

 It’s one of those places that feels both timeless and adaptable. Whether as a charming first home, a bolt-hole for weekends away, or a holiday let with clear appeal, this cottage offers far more than just four walls, it’s a lifestyle waiting to be enjoyed.
