Extensive period house with annexe, large plot and coastal views — planning restrictions apply.
Period granite house with strong character features
Rhiw Afallen is a substantial period country house set on a very large plot in rural Llandwrog, with distant coastal views and established character features. The property combines traditional granite walls and period chimneys with modern upgrades such as solar panels, air-source heating and recent double glazing. Indoor space is extensive, with multiple reception rooms, a sunroom, and flexible kitchen/dining arrangements suited to family living or multi-generational use.
The house includes an attached two‑bedroom annexe offering independent accommodation, plus a large detached stone outbuilding with garage and pit that could serve as storage, workshop or be considered for alternate uses subject to consents. Grounds extend to approximately 1.5 acres with two sizable ponds, an Arctic cabin and a hot tub — attractive lifestyle elements but requiring regular maintenance and management.
Practical considerations are clear and factual: the site lies within an Article 4 area so a change of use to holiday home or holiday letting requires planning permission. Council tax is noted as quite expensive, and the local area scores as very deprived despite low crime and fast broadband. The house was constructed before 1900, so while it offers generous room proportions and character, it may need ongoing maintenance typical of older stone properties.
This property will suit a family seeking a spacious rural home with self-contained annexe potential, or a buyer prepared to invest time and money into upkeep and possible conversion projects. Viewings are recommended for anyone who wants to assess the scale, condition and development possibilities on site.
