Summary - Tan Y Grisiau, Pentir LL57 4YB
3 bed 2 bath Cottage
Large plot with outbuildings and holiday-let potential in tranquil countryside setting.
Two-bedroom main cottage plus self-contained one-bedroom holiday cottage
A rare countryside compound just outside Bangor, the property combines a two-bedroom main cottage with a self-contained one-bedroom holiday cottage. The buildings sit on a very large plot with outbuildings and a substantial barn, offering clear scope for continuing holiday-let income while living on site or expanding accommodation.
The cottages retain period character—granite walls, slate roof, exposed beams and a conservatory/sunroom—but much of the fabric is older and will need investment. Heating is by room heaters with dual fuel (mineral and wood), walls are likely uninsulated and the EPC ratings are F and G, so expect improvement works to reduce running costs and raise standards.
Practical advantages include a private, tranquil setting, plentiful parking and excellent mobile signal. Downsides that affect usability and cost: very slow broadband, older construction with assumed no wall insulation, low ceilings in places, and the property sits in a very deprived area which may influence longer-term demand and financing. Council tax is moderate and there is no flood risk.
This is a good opportunity for investors or owner-occupiers seeking an income stream from a proven holiday cottage, or for buyers prepared to carry out sympathetic renovation to unlock value and improve energy performance. The large gardens, outbuildings and barn create potential for further conversions, workshops or enhanced amenity space, subject to consents.
