Hen Felin Lifio

Description

Set within the heart of the picturesque village of Aberangell, this unique former sawmill presents a rare and exciting opportunity for redevelopment (subject to the necessary planning consents). Constructed from traditional stone with a timber A-frame and a suspected asbestos roof, the building occupies a generous and central plot within the village, offering a wealth of potential for a variety of future uses.

In addition to the main mill structure, the property also includes a detached block-built garage situated to the edge of the plot. This secondary structure features a box-profile roof and a concrete floor and could lend itself to a variety of ancillary uses, subject to condition and consents.

It should be noted that the main building is in a state of considerable disrepair and is currently deemed unsafe to enter without appropriate precautions. The suspected asbestos roof has led to contamination in various areas of the building, and prospective purchasers are advised to carry out their own due diligence with regard to health and safety and potential remediation.

Planning permission for the conversion of the property into a residential dwelling was previously granted; however, we understand this consent lapsed in the 1990s. Nonetheless, the site's location, character, and scale may make it a strong candidate for future redevelopment, subject to obtaining renewed planning consent from the local authority.

Accommodation (Approximate Dimensions):
Ground Floor: 10.63m x 8.20m
First Floor: 10.63m x 8.20m

This is an exceptional opportunity for those seeking a project in a charming village setting, whether for residential conversion, creative workspace, or other uses (subject to consent).
