Summary - EMLYN CASTLE WATER STREET NEWCASTLE EMLYN SA38 9BH
1 bed 1 bath End of Terrace
High-ceilinged period conversion project in town centre, ideal for creative reuse.
Grade II listed former schoolroom with strong period features
Set in the heart of Newcastle Emlyn, this double-fronted stone and slate former schoolroom offers striking period character and generous internal volume. High ceilings, arched windows and original detailing create an atmospheric space suited to a bold residential conversion, studio or community use. The property dates from 1867 with stylistic elements possibly earlier; it is Grade II listed which protects its historic features.
Practical considerations are important: the building has timber single-glazed windows, electric heating, and an exempt EPC. The rear boundary faces a large plot with off-street parking, but the parking area is owned by a third party — confirm access and rights before purchase. Services are mains electricity, water and drainage; the property is advised freehold.
Listing by CADW means alterations will require listed-building consent and will limit change to historic fabric. The building shows clear potential for sympathetic refurbishment or adaptive reuse, but works may be specialist and costlier than on a modern property. Buyers should budget for upgrade work (windows, heating, insulation) and obtain professional advice on permitted works.
Positioned on a small town main street close to shops, bus links and the castle, this property suits someone seeking a distinctive period project in a market town setting. It may appeal to buyers wanting a unique home, community space or mixed commercial/residential opportunity, provided they accept the constraints and costs of listed building ownership.
