A Grade II-listed former gatehouse in the Powys countryside has been put on the market for £230,000. The three-bedroom property, located in Pantperthog near Machynlleth, sits just inside the Eryri National Park and includes period features, gardens and a wrap-around porch.
Property highlights and social media attention
Tom Fitzgerald, who regularly shares notable properties on social media, posted a video about the home on TikTok. In the clip he said: "Tell me this isn't the most stunning cottage you've ever seen in your life in the Welsh countryside. Imagine the bliss that you would feel living in this. I know you can feel it right now."
Describing the location as "a beautiful place to be", he praised the "absolutely lovely wrap-around veranda" and the interior's "cool features", including slate floors, exposed beams and an AGA oven. He also noted the property "could maybe do with a bit of TLC throughout some of these rooms" but highlighted the appeal of a quiet life: "chopping your wood, popping it in the fire, no one anywhere near you".
Garden and listing details
Moving to the "utterly magnificent" garden, Fitzgerald pointed out what appears to be a brick kiln, fruit trees, views across Eryri and "the obligatory potting shed". The property is being marketed by Morris Marshall and Poole of Machynlleth on Rightmove.
The listing describes Lliwdy as "a truly enchanting Grade II-listed, detached cottage brimming with character and historic charm", noting it is a "two-three bedroom former gatehouse" with original features such as the main entry door, exposed beam ceilings, slate flagstone flooring and arched windows. It adds that the home sits within a well-established garden plot with mature trees, shrubs and a "whimsical wrap-around veranda", calling it "a rare opportunity to acquire an unique home that combines heritage, charm and practical living".
