There is evidence of a cottage being on the site since 1606. Velvet Cottage itself was built about one hundred and fifty years ago and has been owned by the present family since 1920. It's position on Abbey Terrace affords magnificent views out across Valle Crucis (Valley of the Cross) towards the Horseshoe Pass in the distance. The cottage was built with local slatestone and the thick walls offer insulation in the Winter and welcome coolness in the height of Summer.

Velvet Cottage has been recently modernised and graded 3 Star by VisitWales. The downstairs room floors are covered in the original terracotta quarry tiling. Over the years the floor has been protected by carpet coverage and as a result it is in immaculate condition. The living room ceiling features the original oak beams, painted black in traditional Welsh style.

The extensive garden features a 4 seater patio furniture set , private sunbathing/barbecue terrace at the rear of the cottage, covered garden pond, bird table, flower beds and heather bushes. A high dividing hedge and the cottage’s position above a quiet lane ensure maximum privacy and relaxation.

The property features:

• Private off-road parking bay and outdoor space to store sports equipment.
• State-of -the-art Damp Proof Course
