This Grade II listed 17th-century café sits in a prime, highly visible spot on Criccieth’s Square, offering immediate passing trade and strong tourist appeal. The detached stone building retains period character—inglenook, exposed stone and a traditional courtyard—and includes a small private garden previously used as a tea garden for about 20 covers. The property extends to approximately 900 sq ft with about seven rooms, one bedroom and one bathroom, plus a storage garage and WC.
The freehold title and central location make this a clear opportunity for an investor or buyer seeking an operational café with scope to add value. Broadband is fast and mobile signal excellent, supporting bookings, payments and marketing. The first floor could be used as owner accommodation or alternative ancillary space, subject to Listed Building and planning consents.
Buyers should be aware of material constraints: Grade II listed status restricts alteration and will complicate refurbishment or change of use. The building’s age means ongoing maintenance and sensitive repair will be required. Parking is limited to on-street spaces and a nearby pay-and-display car park. The surrounding area is classified as very deprived and ageing rural neighbourhoods, which may affect year-round local spend outside the tourist season.
Practical points: mains water, electricity and drainage are believed connected; gas is available if required. EPC exemption applies due to listing. Rateable value is modest, and small business rates relief may be available; interested parties should verify with the local authority. This property suits a buyer who values historic character and visibility and is prepared to manage listed-building constraints to realise the site’s trading or residential potential.
