Set on an impressive three-quarter-acre elevated plot in Upper Colwyn Bay, this three-bedroom detached bungalow offers sweeping sea views and substantial redevelopment potential. The single-storey layout is straightforward and adaptable, with a living room featuring a log burner, a large kitchen/dining room, a study/occasional fourth bedroom, and one family bathroom. Double glazing and gas central heating are in place, though many internal finishes are dated and will benefit from modernisation.
The grounds are the standout asset: expansive lawns, mature shrubs and trees, multiple seating areas and a wide driveway providing plentiful off-street parking. The property includes a private septic tank. For developers, there is a planning application (Ref: 0/50853) for demolition and construction of two detached four-bedroom homes; the vendor states planning has been verbally approved and a Section 106 agreement is awaited.
This plot suits buyers who want a large private garden, sea views and flexibility — either to renovate into a contemporary single-level home or to pursue the approved redevelopment. Practical points: the house was constructed in the mid-20th century (approx. 1950–1966), council tax is described as quite expensive, and the property sits within an area recorded as very deprived despite local affluent pockets.
Early viewing is recommended for those seeking a rare, substantial plot in Upper Colwyn Bay. The location combines coastal living with good road and rail links, fast broadband speeds and low local crime, making it attractive for both long-term owners and speculative schemes.
