Summary - Dinbren, Llangollen LL20 8ED
2 bed 1 bath Cottage
Elevated 1.5-acre plot with panoramic castle views for experienced developers.
Planning permission granted and still valid for a three-bedroom dwelling
A rare development opportunity on the edge of Llangollen, offered for public auction with a guide price of £150,000. The site comprises a derelict single-storey cottage and approximately 1.5 acres of land, positioned on an elevated plot with direct views of Dinas Bran Castle and the surrounding Panorama. Detailed drawings and planning permission for a replacement dwelling (three bedrooms plus living spaces) have been granted and remain valid, making this attractive for investors or self-builders ready to progress a project.
Practical benefits include a completed septic/drainage system and an existing borehole, plus a lockable shipping container in the paddock. The plot is fenced with lane access and benefits from excellent mobile signal and fast broadband, helping with remote project management. There is no recorded flood risk.
Important drawbacks are significant: the building is derelict and in poor structural repair and is currently uninhabitable—viewers are asked not to enter. The auction sale is unconditional; successful buyers must pay a deposit and a buyers’ premium (5% + VAT, minimum £5,000) on exchange. The site sits in an area described as very deprived with above-average crime statistics, which may affect resale or rental considerations.
For purchasers prepared to accept a substantial renovation or to implement the approved redevelopment, this plot offers a strong-value project in a sought-after scenic location. The valid planning permission reduces initial planning risk, but practical refurbishment costs and local area factors should be fully assessed before bidding.
