Plas Gwyn House & Cottage is an impressive Grade II listed property, constructed in traditional stone beneath a slate roof that was renewed in 1997. Ideally situated within 100 yards of the town square, it is regarded as one of the area's most distinguished period residences, offering a wealth of original character features throughout. These include elegant oak staircases, wide-plank flooring in many rooms, traditional pine doors, decorative architraves, and original working shutters.

The main residence is currently registered as a private dwelling and has previously operated as a highly successful bed and breakfast business. Attached to the house is a charming one-bedroom cottage, Plas Gwyn Cottage, which is business-rated and currently generates a strong income as a holiday let through Airbnb.

The accommodation within the main house comprises a welcoming sitting room, breakfast/dining room, kitchen, laundry/utility room, pantry, three en-suite guest bedrooms, together with owners' accommodation consisting of a snug/sitting room and a bedroom with en-suite facilities.

Plas Gwyn Cottage offers a comfortable sitting room, kitchen, wet room, bedroom, and separate WC.

A particularly rare feature of the property is its extensive rear garden and amenity area, extending to approximately 280 square metres. Beautifully landscaped, the grounds include a lawn bordered by mature shrubs and manicured hedges, an attractive York stone water feature, a terraced seating area, an external WC, bicycle storage, and ample off-road parking.

Properties of this calibre and character rarely come to the market. Early viewing is strongly recommended to fully appreciate the charm, versatility, and income potential that Plas Gwyn House & Cottage has to offer.
