Description
Blaenau Ffestiniog is in the historic county of Merionethshire, nestled between the Moelwynion mountains in the heart of Snowdonia. Although boundaries exclude the town from the National Park, it is a booming tourist area which includes the Ffestiniog Railway and Llechwedd slate caverns. The town - known as the former slate capital of the world - is one of six slate landscapes in North Wales which has been declared a Unesco World Heritage site. The surrounding countryside is very popular with hikers and mountain bikers.
The town lies on the A470 with Llandudno northbound and Dollegau to the south. The A496 and A487 provide links to Harlech and The Llyn Peninsula respectively.
The property is an end terrace building of stone construction with a pitched tiled roof over four levels.
The Manod Hotel is a wet led community local which was constructed by miners circa 1826. The pub is popular with both locals and tourists: it has its own darts team and hosts quizzes, live music and disco nights. Planning permission has been granted for four ensuite letting rooms to the first floor, in addition to a trade kitchen and balcony to the first-floor trade area overlooking the rear car park. See Planning reference: C14/0619/03/LL. There is also scope to renovate the ground floor basement unit into a studio apartment (STPP).
