Barmouth

A rare opportunity to purchase a historic detached house perched on the Rock plus two of the few remaining privately owned undeveloped pieces of land on the Rock and a detached outbuilding.

The house has not only the most incredible views but and also parking for up to two cars which is a rarity for properties on the Rock.

The property has outline planning permission (recently lapsed with application to extend this permission is in process) for further extension and development of the house and also the construction of a detached garden room on a large piece of land which is adjacent to the house, across a public footpath with a fantastic view

This extremely interesting package provides an opportunity for new owners to acquire a very attractive detached stone built period house with fantastic views, 3 bedrooms, gardens and patios and, most unusually, vehicle access and parking.

Just below there is an additional plot of land and a stone outbuilding which is included in the sale and for which various options may be explored with the local planning department.

Opportunities to purchase this type of property, land and potential rarely arise on the Rock. Some finishing off work is required in the house which will allow new owners to put their stamp on this unique and quirky property.
