We've tightened what earns a Pursue. A home now needs a published valuation, a strategy that still makes money after real running costs and lender stress tests, and no listing problems that would stop a mortgage. You'll see fewer Pursues, and each one has been checked harder.

About
A substantial period former mill located on the outskirts of Dolwyddelan in the Snowdonia National Park, within 6 miles of Betws-y-Coed and a short distance from the historic Dolwyddelan Castle.
Enjoying a wonderful riverside position with extensive views across the valley towards the mountains of Snowdonia, this is a property of great charm and potential.
The main house offers characterful four-bedroom accommodation with a wealth of original features and could be sympathetically upgraded to create a superb family home.
Benefits include central heating and double glazing.
Set within attractive, well-established gardens that lead down to the riverbank, the property is approached via a driveway leading to a gravelled parking area, hardstanding and garage.
The gardens are beautifully stocked, providing colour and interest year-round, with seating areas perfectly positioned to take in the riverside views.
A notable feature is the detached former cottage within the grounds, which offers scope for reinstatement as a residential dwelling, subject to the necessary consents.
This could provide additional family accommodation or potential for holiday letting income.
