All buildings have a story to tell, but some properties have a journey through time as unique as their design or location, and this cutest of cottages called Coed y Bleiddiau is definitely one such property.
The remote stone cottage nestled into the Snowdonia landscape was built as an intermediate request halt between the stations of Hafod y Llyn, replaced in 1873 by Tan y Bwlch, and Dduallt. It was part of the railway system taking slate from the mines around Blaenau Ffestiniog to the Ceredigion coast.
The little house and its 22ft platform were built in 1863 for the superintendent of the line and originally only had three ground floor rooms and one upstairs bedroom.
