This former village school is a stone-built, single-storey property with approved planning consent for conversion into a holiday let. Its tall sash windows, attractive stone elevations and elevated position give strong character and visitor appeal for a rural short‑stay business. The layout currently comprises two large open classrooms and several ancillary rooms, offering a flexible canvas for a bespoke conversion.
The building requires full renovation and upgrading; incoming owners should factor refurbishment costs and confirm mains services. The approved plans include residential holiday use but parking provision will be required as part of any conversion. The property is semi‑detached — the adjoining former school house is separately owned and occupied.
Set beside mature woodland on the fringe of Snowdonia’s visitor catchment, the site benefits from countryside views, tranquil surroundings and low local crime. The village location, average broadband and mobile signal, and an area classified as very deprived should be weighed when forecasting occupancy and rental yields.
For an investor seeking a character holiday let in an attractive rural setting, this building offers strong upside through sympathetic refurbishment and thoughtful marketing. For a private buyer, the property could become a unique home subject to planning changes and the necessary investment.
