Ever thought about dropping everything and running away to run a quaint little cafe in the Welsh hills? ‘Course you have. And if you’re actually serious about it, now’s your opportunity to get the ball rolling.
Tan-y-Pistyll, which means little house under the waterfall, is a house complete with an eighteenth-century tearoom and a chalet that is on sale right now for £950,000. It sits next to the 240-foot-tall Pistyll Rhaeadr waterfall (the UK’s tallest single drop waterfall) in the Berwyn Mountains in Wales, so you can bet that there will be some utterly spectacular views.
As the owner you’ll have a private three-bed home plus a campsite, a 1940s showman’s caravan and a two-bed, two-ensuite apartment alongside the tearoom and chalet, all to be used by paying guests. Wowee.
With all those amenities, the property is being sold as part freehold, part lease, meaning you’d have to be prepared to run a whole business. Surrounded by woods and sheer cliffs, the falls are named one of the seven wonders of Wales and attract heaps of tourists year round, so don't worry, you won't be stuck for customers. The site has also has a retreat room often used for ceremonies and has been a popular spot for people to get hitched.
