This substantial three-storey detached former mill offers vast, versatile accommodation in the heart of Snowdonia National Park. With nine bedrooms, multiple reception rooms and scope for commercial use (B&B, boutique hotel or apartment conversion subject to planning), it will suit buyers seeking a large income-generating property or a multi-generational home with separate living areas.
The house boasts traditional stone construction, period features, slate floors and bespoke windows, paired with a modern kitchen and double glazing. South-westerly aspects deliver sweeping countryside views and distant sea glimpses from higher floors, while a generous rear garden and off-road parking for several vehicles add practical outdoor space.
Buyers should note material negatives plainly: much of the heating appears to rely on portable electric heaters despite LPG central heating being present; walls are granite/whinstone with assumed no insulation; broadband speeds are slow; and council tax is described as expensive. The property was constructed before 1900 and may need significant upgrading, insulation and modern heating improvements.
Commercial potential is real but not guaranteed: the layout is already used on Airbnb and includes a self-contained first-floor suite with wheelchair access from the rear, yet any formal change of use or apartment conversions would require planning and building-regulation approval. This is a rare, high-capacity property in a remote, very low-crime location—appealing to investors and experienced renovators comfortable working within a National Park setting.
