The Old School House & Emlyn's Coppice Luxury Glamping Retreat, Gwespyr
A truly unique opportunity to acquire a substantial lifestyle property comprising a magnificent character residence together with an established luxury glamping business, all set within beautiful grounds in the highly desirable coastal village of Gwespyr.
The Old School House is a striking former village school steeped in local history and believed to date back to the late Victorian period. Constructed of traditional Gwespyr stone, the property is rich in charm and period character, with its heritage evident throughout. Original architectural features have been carefully preserved and blended with modern comforts to create a home of exceptional warmth and individuality. At the heart of the property is a stunning open plan living space featuring impressive vaulted and beamed ceilings, exposed stonework and a magnificent original fireplace, creating a wonderful sense of space and character. The property's history can still be appreciated through its unique proportions and beautiful architectural details, including the impressive triple lancet windows found in two of the bedrooms, framing far-reaching countryside views. A feature galleried landing overlooks the main living area and adds to the property's distinctive and elegant appeal.
The accommodation offers versatile family living, including four generous ensuite bedrooms, formal and informal reception areas, a contemporary kitchen with central island, utility facilities, attached garage and ample parking.
Approached via a long private driveway, the property stands within extensive grounds that perfectly complement its rural setting. There are two paddocks, ideal for grazing horses or livestock, alongside three modern stable blocks, making the property particularly suited to equestrian purchasers. The mature gardens, established orchard, woodland walks and tranquil stream provide a picturesque backdrop and encourage an abundance of wildlife throughout the seasons.

Complementing the main residence are Emlyn's Cottage Luxury Glamping Pods, an exclusive boutique holiday retreat nestled within a private woodland setting. The three luxury pods are beautifully positioned amongst the trees and have been thoughtfully designed to offer guests a peaceful escape in nature, whilst enjoying modern comforts including kitchen areas, ensuite shower rooms, private outdoor seating and individual hot tubs. The glamping business enjoys dedicated guest parking and a substantial front paddock, offering further potential for expansion or diversification, subject to the necessary planning consents. A private lane winds through the woodland to the pods, enhancing the sense of privacy and exclusivity that makes the retreat so appealing to visitors.
Located just a short distance from Talacre Beach, the Wales Coast Path and a wide variety of local attractions, the property enjoys the perfect balance of countryside tranquillity and coastal accessibility.
Combining a home of significant character and history with a successful hospitality business, extensive grounds, paddocks, stable facilities and enchanting woodland surroundings, The Old School House and Emlyn's Cottage Luxury Glamping Retreat represent an exceptional lifestyle and investment opportunity in one of North Wales' most sought-after coastal locations.
