  • Aber Cottage Beddgelert | Gwynedd | LL55
    in association with Aber Cottage Beddgelert | Gwynedd | LL55 4YF Aber Cottage Softly surrounded by trees and with the Aberglaslyn River flowing gently through the garden, Aber Cottage is a place of great natural beauty and tranquillity. The cottage began life in the mid eighteenth century, and its character and location have inspired artists to pick up their brushes. A painting of the cottage in eighteen ninety is exhibited in the National Library of Wales. Sadly, the cottage fell into ruin, but was rescued in the nineteen eighties by a local businessman who won an award for the superb restoration. He renovated and extended, retaining the original chimney wall in the kitchen and bedroom. Today it is a charming home where you can enjoy the comforts of the modern age in a unique setting. It was only by chance that the present owners saw a photograph and sale details of the property in a magazine, and immediately fell in love with it. They have loved and enjoyed Aber Cottage for over twenty years and say it is where the cares of the world are washed away and energy revived. There are enchanting views to the river from every room, and it provides a picturesque backdrop to meals in the conservatory or on the patio. The surroundings tempt summer al fresco dining, but the kitchen diner can easily seat eight people and is equipped for the keen cook. The cottage has a calm and pleasing atmosphere. It encourages you to settle in the lounge to read and relax, and the multi fuel stove creates a warming glow on a chilly winters’ day.

The water conduit has gone but the buttress to support it remains against the SE side of the NE doorway; the conduit must have been carried over the top of the doorway and along the NE wall, which accounts for the blocking of the NE window. The ground fl oor was divided by a post -and panel partition which was slotted not into the soffit of a ceiling beam but into a separate top beam which survives in its entirety; the SW half of the partition, with a doorway, survives, each 2 ft wide.

Overview This report was initiated following the award of a small grant by the Coleg Cymraeg Cenedlaethol to Dr Simon Brooks, Associate Professor in the School of Management at Swansea University, to scrutinise policy on second homes in Wales and Cornwall. The original aim was to prepare a brief report focussing on the comparison between public policy solutions based on taxation policy (Wales) and planning policy (Cornwall). However, due to the increasing interest in this subject area, the Welsh Government’s Minister for Mental Health, Well-being and Welsh Language asked if the research could be expanded in order to scrutinise some wider issues regarding second homes and to make policy recommendations.
