Description

In collaboration with Refined Properties Wales here is a marvelous business opportunity. Set in the heart of Llanberis this stunning grade II listed, detached property which has been carefully and sympathetically looked after over the years as the current owners build it up into a very successful and thriving business. The occupancy levels the property enjoys are impressive which is understandable given the location.

Property has a degree of flexibility but can be utilized as a six/ seven bedroom bed and breakfast or could be transformed into a full service bistro hotel.

All of the rooms have individual bathrooms, mostly en-suite. In addition to the bedrooms there is a spacious dining room, a private lounge as well as a range of private rooms to the second floor.

As a guest house the property has two kitchen areas as well as several ancillary rooms.

Guests find themselves attractions within easy reach of not only the lake and mountains but also Llanberis itself has to offer such as Electric Mountain and the Slate Museum. The Caernarfon Bay coast is within an easy drive with Anglesey not much further.

The mountain scenery can be enjoyed from most bedrooms and for those looking for a relaxing less energetic holiday the Mountain Railway Station is a few minutes walk from the property.

Llanberis is one of the finest destinations in North Wales. The town is situated on the edge of Lake Padarn and is at the foothills of the Snowdonia Mountain range.

If you fancy owning a jewel in the North Wales leisure crown, look no further.

History
Built in the 1860s or '70s, probably as a guest house but possibly originally as a private house, in either case reflecting the increasing importance of Llanberis as a centre for visitors, tourists and retired residents in the second half of the C19. The positioning of its main entrance to the side, thus ensuring maximum exposure of its principal rooms to the front, suggests that the building may have been purpose-built as a small hotel.

Exterior
Hotel. Mildly Gothic style in 3 storeys. Snecked rubblestone with painted returns and floorband to first floor and bracketed string courses to very slightly projecting barge boarded gables which are tile hung to the apexes; slate roof. 1:1:1 bays retaining original fenestration; 10-light mullioned and transomed windows to second floor of gables with 4-paned sash to central tile-hung gabled dormer in roof slope; first floor has triple sash windows in chamfered stone surround to outer bays and central window consisting of 5 grouped sashes with tiny rectangular openings above, directly below bracketed eaves. Ground floor has paired sashes with chamfered head and stone cills to centre flanked by a window like those to the outer bays on the first floor to the right and a canted bay window with sashes and chamfered stone surround to the left. The entrance is to the left in a gabled stone porch with hoodmould over outer arch and inner boarded door; single-storey section behind now has flat roof.

Included as a well-detailed later C19 house, which represents a particularly good example of the distinctive domestic gothic style employed for the guest houses and villas which characterise the later C19 development of the town.
