I'm moving to Wales. The price!

This is actually my 'if I won the lottery house'

My OH and I go to Harlech a few times a year. We got engaged there. And every time I'm up the top of the castle ruin I lust over this house. Seeing it up for sale makes me want to cry that I can't have it!

And Tremadog just up the road for a spot of evening climbing. Mind you, last time I went to the pub there, I walked in and it all fell silent... Definitely have to learn Welsh!

I keep telling myself if I work hard and don't be reckless maybe I can retire there when I'm ancient!

I'm not greedy, a lotto win enough for this house would do me. Sod the multi million houses that's the one for me.

Although I'd def modernise it

Now you've got me browsing. I'm guessing that there is zero employment there for property to be so cheap. Tempting though.

Harlech is tiny. Unless you are a doctor, work at the school or fire station, or one of the tiny banks, there's no work. And to commute would take forever. Ive looked into it, hence it's a lottery dream. It's one of my fave places in the world though my other lottery win house is even cheaper. At the min it's a holiday rental, we go there twice a year. At one point it was up for sale for £249950 last year. What do you think, I love it

You can't see floor plans but its got a lovely pantry off the kitchen and a huge utility room with shower room and loo. Upstairs is bathroom and then another loo. It used to be a school masters house and the exterior matches the school a few yards up the road


EDIT: now I'm depressed. My lovely holiday house is back up for sale! £195k!! God if I had that small lottery win I'd have it to tomorrow! That's what comes of trawling zoopla!

Do you mean the tower? I imagine it's original. I live in a similar house and 1 in next road has a tower.

Thanks - I had only looked at it quickly. I still don't think it looks "right" though. I think it's the middle section that's the problem.

And only one other (surprisingly almost empty) picture of the interior. What can the rest be like?
