About
Description The former Bontddu Hall Hotel was originally built in 1873 of stone construction and has hosted a number of famous guests over the years including Sir Winston Churchill.
Unfortunately the property suffered a serious fire in 2020 and is no longer able to be utilised as a property in its given state although the structure, in part, still stands.
Therefore, the opportunity is being offered to the market predominantly for redevelopment of the existing hall, or for an incoming buyer to develop as required, subject to relevant planning permissions and consents from the local authority.
Location This former hotel is situated in the heart of the Snowdonia National Park within North Wales.
Situated just 5 miles along the Afon Mawddach from Barmouth on the coast overlooking the Irish Sea.
The area is accessed by a number of roads including the A496, A493 and A470 providing access to North and South Wales, and across the border into England.
External Details The hall and gardens sits within a site area of approximately 2.4 acres, offering a prime location for redevelopment.
The Opportunity Bontddu Hall Hotel once traded as a successful business and could again.
However, due to the condition of the building it would need to be completely re-built before any business could trade.
The site offers a range of possibilities for a buyer depending on their requirements. All proposals would be subject to the relevant planning permission and local authority consent.
Planning Permissions There is currently no formal planning permission on the site. Any interested parties would need to seek any permissions direct with the relevant department(s).
