Description
Just a stone’s throw from Llyn Tegid, Wales’ largest natural lake, the Old Workhouse sits in the bustling market town of Bala. In a secluded lawned and gated courtyard but only a 2-minute walk to all the shops, pubs and restaurants that Bala has to offer.
The top to bottom renovation was completed in 2018 and included brand new drainage, electrics, gas heating system (including underfloor heating on the ground floor) and a new fully-insulated roof.
Surrounded by mountains Bala is an ideal centre for the activity minded, with the lake on its doorstep and iconic Cader Idris a 20-minute drive away. At the far end of the lake the mountains of Aran Benllyn and Aran Fawddwy tower over the surrounding countryside. The National Whitewater Centre is nearby, yet Bala is only a one-and-a-half hour drive to Manchester and Liverpool, two hours to Birmingham and less than an hour from Chester or Wrexham.
Accommodation:
The stone-built neo-Gothic Workhouse has very generously proportioned rooms with a total floorspace of 2,314 square feet set over three floors. There are also two private courtyard areas at the rear.
