Summary - FLAT 1, 2 ELDON ROW, ELDON SQUARE, DOLGELLAU LL40 1PY
1 bed 1 bath Shop
Prominent retail frontage with two flats above, ideal for investor or owner-operator.
Grade II-listed stone buildings with strong period character
A rare mixed-use opportunity in the heart of Dolgellau: two adjoining Grade II-listed stone buildings providing ground-floor commercial space and two self-contained flats above. The retail units retain strong town-centre presence with display windows and direct pavement access, making them suitable for continued food retail, specialist shops, or other Class A uses subject to consent. Both flats have two double bedrooms, separate utilities and are in good condition but offer scope for modernisation to increase rental or owner-occupier appeal.
Practical benefits include independent utility meters, gas central heating, a cellar and useful rear storage lean-to outbuildings with enclosed yards. The properties sit within Snowdonia National Park and benefit from excellent mobile signal and fast broadband — helpful for small businesses or short-let management, though Article 4 controls mean changes to second-home or holiday-let use will require park authority permission.
Material considerations are straightforward and important: the buildings are Grade II listed, which will restrict alterations and may complicate conversions or modern refurbishments. No formal building survey has been carried out recently; prospective purchasers should commission a full survey. There is no private parking or garden, and the area is classified as very deprived — factors to weigh for residential demand and business footfall.
Overall this is best suited to an investor or owner-operator seeking a town-centre income stream with uplift potential from modest refurbishment, or a small business wanting prominent retail frontage in a tourist-attractive market town. The listing status and planning controls mean long-term stewardship and consent planning will be required for changes.
