A substantial Victorian former public house in central Llangollen, River View offers clear development upside for an investor or owner-operator willing to restore or convert. The building retains a broad ground-floor footprint with two bar rooms, a large kitchen, cellars and six first-floor bedrooms — ideal for guest accommodation, a boutique B&B conversion or mixed-use redevelopment (subject to planning).
The property is boarded up and requires comprehensive renovation: structural, decorative and likely services upgrading. Walls are original granite/whinstone with no assumed insulation, and while glazing is double, install dates are unknown. Buyers should allow for full refurbishment costs and for time to secure any necessary statutory consents.
Practical positives include mains gas central heating, an Energy Rating C (64), no flood risk, a decent courtyard and excellent mobile signal. The location is a tourist-appealing riverside small town with local shops, schools and good road links — helping lettability or visitor trade once redeveloped. Note the local area records higher deprivation, which may affect rental levels in some segments but can also support community-focused uses.
This is a clear value-led acquisition: purchase at a modest price with scope to add value through renovation, modernisation or change of use. Interested parties should commission surveys and pre-application planning advice to confirm feasibility and costs before committing.
