This is a remarkable and rare opportunity to acquire and repurpose two significant buildings in a sought after location just off College Road, in an elevated position, offering breathtaking views across the Menai Strait and the Isle of Anglesey. Viewing is highly recommended and by appointment only.
Bryn Afon This is a unique Grade II Listed Property with Stunning Views. Dating back to circa 1885, this substantial three-storey building (approx. 380m²) showcases an eclectic mix of Old English and Gothic Revival styles, featuring Ruabon brick with terracotta ornamentation, pitched clay tile roof, and decorative cresting and finials. Currently occupied as office space, the property offers a range of offices, a kitchenette, and WC facilities, all set within an interior that retains many of its historic character features, including a striking Gothic dog-leg staircase with turned balusters and octagonal newels, stained glass windows. The property is served by a gas-fired condensing boiler for heating, while hot water is provided by local point-of-use heaters. Externally, there is a garden area with parking and brick-built stores. Access is off Princes Road via an un-named road which runs to the rear of College Road. This historic gem offers immense potential for a variety of uses (subject to necessary consents).
Penbre This is a substantial detached period property boasting views over the Menai Strait and Isle of Anglesey and Eryri to the east. Dating back to circa 1885, this spacious freehold property extends to approximately 249m² (excluding basement) across three floors, offering immense potential for a variety of uses (subject to necessary planning consents). This historic building is of solid brick construction in Flemish bond, pitched and hipped Welsh slate roofs, and original timber sliding sash windows, with some replaced by modern uPVC double-glazed units. The interior, more recently used as offices for Bangor University, requires comprehensive renovation, but with its grand proportions and period charm, the property presents an exceptional opportunity to restore and enhance its former glory. Externally, the property benefits from off-road parking, garden areas, and a garage. The heating and hot water are currently provided by a domestic combination boiler installed in around 2009.
Location Situated in a prime location just off College Road, a major thoroughfare for students making their way to the main university campus. This busy section of the city is a real hive of activity located near to most of the university buildings and student accommodation. Upper Bangor is home to several lively pubs, eateries, cafes and a major supermarket. Bangor is a thriving cosmopolitan city, highly regarded as the ‘city of learning’, attracting students worldwide. There is a district general hospital, schools and further education facilities and a vast range of amenities which include High Street shops, out of town retail parks, numerous supermarkets, post office, launderette and a mainline railway station. Bangor also offers a lively cultural experience from the 'Pontio' cultural art and innovation centre.
