This superb end terrace traditional Welsh cottage is located in the picturesque Gwynedd village of Brynrefail on the edge of the Snowdonia National Park. This former quarry man’s cottage, whose origins are believed to date back to the mid 19th century, has over recent years been tastefully modernised and since maintained to an exceptional standard by the present owner, retaining much of the style and character one would expect to find in a property of this period. The well-proportioned accommodation, which benefits from high quality wood effect UPVC double glazing and economy 7 night storage heating, includes on the ground floor a sizeable open plan lounge/kitchen/diner with a lovely centrally positioned timber staircase and an eye catching inglenook that houses a highly efficient multi fuel burner.

Heating.

There are electric night storage heaters in the main room down stairs and in the main bedroom. They are heated through the night using cheaper economy 7 electricity and give out heating the day. They can be adjusted to suit your requirements.
Please don’t cover them as this will cause the fuse to trip.
There is a convection heater by the back door to give instant heat. Please don’t cover the heater. There is a plinth heater in the kitchen area.
The switch for the towel rail in the bathroom is on the landing.
The door on the wood burning stove must be closed when in use to prevent the smoke detectors from triggering.

Hot water

The hot water tank is situated on the landing. The water is heated overnight using Economy 7 electricity. If more hot water is required during the day you will need to open the right hand cupboard door on the landing. The Horstman timer unit has a “Boost” dial. This needs turning anti- clockwise to heat the tank once more. It takes less than an hour to heat the tank.

Fuse boxes

There are fuse boxes in the top left hand kitchen cupboard and also in the cupboard on the landing upstairs.

Cooker

The cooker oven will not work unless the cooker clock is set.

Flash light.

In the event of power failure a rechargeable flash light is provided. It is advisable to check the state of charge at the start of your stay and recharge if necessary. Feel free to use the flashlight when out walking at night. Please recharge on your return.
