With magnificent views, extensive accommodation and a plot size of approximately 1.25 acres this character residence is a truly unique property with the sale providing a number of opportunities to develop the site [subject to the necessary planning and any other consents]. Being in such a prominent and convenient central location, in our opinion the development opportunities could be adapted from its previous commercial use as a high quality bed & breakfast establishment to a variety of alternatives ranging from an elegant spacious family home, to being split to provide a number of residences or alternative commercial ventures on the site.
Having historically formed two separate residences before more recently being used as a high quality bed and breakfast, this substantial property has accommodation laid out over 3 storeys and retains many character features including the two original staircases. Being situated within the development boundary line of the town the current layout of approximately 7,000 square foot of accommodation would enable a variety of splits or alternative uses subject to the necessary consents especially with such a high profile position in the town centre.

At the Britannia garage roundabout take the B5420 towards Benllech and the driveway to Bryn Aethwy will be immediately found on the right hand side with the property standing prominently above the road.
