A substantial double-fronted, double‑height stone property on Bala High Street, this Grade II listed building offers rare scope for conversion and income generation. The building extends to about 2,944 sq ft across three floors with eight bedrooms and generous reception rooms — space suited to a large family home, HMO conversion or mixed commercial/residential use (subject to consents).
The property requires a full programme of repair and refurbishment: gas central heating is not currently operational, some external stonework and internal finishes need attention, and original fabric will constrain works because of listed status. There is a useful rear yard, garden and off-street parking with vehicle access from Arenig Street — a valuable asset in a central town location.
Positioned within Snowdonia National Park and Bala town centre, the location benefits from excellent mobile signal, everyday amenities on the doorstep and tourist footfall. The area shows higher local deprivation and council tax band E; any redevelopment should factor in Article 4 restrictions on changing use to second homes/short-term lets within the National Park.
This property will suit an experienced investor, developer or buyer comfortable with listed-building constraints and renovation budgets. With careful planning and listed-building consent, the house could be restored to highlight its Georgian character while unlocking significant asset and rental potential.
