A rare Grade II listed former Sunday School/vestry in the heart of Waunfawr, offered freehold at a modest guide price. The building is exceptionally large internally (c. 1,392 sq ft) with high Edwardian ceilings, original stonework and large windows that deliver strong natural light and character. A rear garden overlooks open fields, giving peaceful countryside views and room for modest landscaping or extension subject to consent.
The property requires substantial repair and modernisation: the main hall floor has partially collapsed and general refurbishment is needed throughout. Oil-fired central heating and an externally sited oil tank remain, and the accessible WC and a fitted kitchen are present but dated. As a Grade II listed building, any conversion or structural work will require listed-building consent and could increase costs and timescales.
This location suits an investor or experienced renovator seeking a conversion project with character in a central village setting close to Caernarfon and Bangor. Practical positives include freehold tenure, no flood risk, excellent mobile signal and low local crime. Drawbacks to budget and timeline include the collapsed floor, listed-status restrictions, oil heating, average broadband speeds and the village’s high area deprivation indicators, which may affect rental values and resale timing.
With the right permissions and a clear renovation plan, the building offers notable potential — a dramatic living space or a distinctive commercial/community use — but buyers should commission surveys and consult heritage officers before committing.
