Summary - GARDNERS STORE, COLLEGE ROAD LL57 2AP
1 bed 1 bath Commercial Property
Large freehold plot with sea views — prime for redevelopment or conversion.
Panoramic Menai Strait and Anglesey views from elevated position
Extremely large combined floor area — c.6,760 sq ft total
Freehold; two detached period buildings on a huge plot
Grade II listed Bryn Afon — alterations restricted, consents needed
Both buildings require comprehensive renovation and investment
Located in a cosmopolitan student neighbourhood — high footfall
Area deprivation very high; local crime levels are high
Off‑street parking, garden areas and garage included
A rare freehold opportunity comprising two substantial Victorian/Tudor‑revival buildings with expansive grounds and panoramic Menai Strait views. Both properties date to circa 1885 and retain strong period character — Bryn Afon is Grade II listed with stained glass and a Gothic staircase; Penbre offers solid brick construction, original sash windows and a garage. The site’s elevated position and large plot create significant scope for residential conversion, student accommodation or mixed‑use schemes, subject to consents.
The buildings are sold as needing comprehensive renovation. Bryn Afon’s listed status will restrict changes and require specialist consent and potentially higher refurbishment costs; Penbre has had more recent mechanical upgrades but still requires full refurbishment internally. There is off‑street parking, garden areas and brick stores, and both properties benefit from gas heating systems (plus point‑of‑use water heaters) and excellent mobile signal. Flood risk is low.
This is best suited to developers, investors or experienced conservation renovators who can navigate listed‑building consents and deliver a scheme that leverages the strong views and proximity to Bangor University. Note the immediate area is a busy student neighbourhood with high local crime statistics and very high area deprivation — factors that influence future use, tenanting and security requirements. Successful projects here should factor in refurbishment budgets, planning lead‑times and potential for specialist conservation input.
