Description

This detached stone barn, known locally as Ysgubor Hir or ‘The Long Barn’, is situated in the tranquil surroundings of Holywell, North Wales. Elevated within the landscape, it boasts impressive views across the Dee Estuary, providing an inspiring setting for potential redevelopment. Originally part of the historic Holway Farm and most recently utilized for commercial purposes by Holywell Auto Sales, this building presents a unique opportunity for those interested in renovation projects. The structure requires comprehensive restoration but offers a blank canvas ripe for transformation. Its character and architectural features provide a solid foundation for creating a distinctive residential or mixed-use property that merges traditional elements with modern aesthetics. Previously discussed planning permissions suggest the viability of developing a four-bedroom residential cottage alongside a three-bedroom commercial unit, complemented by ten designated parking spaces. This planning history underscores the site's versatility and its suitability for multiple uses, contingent on obtaining necessary approvals. Ysgubor Hir stands as an appealing investment prospect, balancing historical significance with substantial potential for growth. It is ideally positioned to attract developers and investors looking to capitalize on the picturesque locale while also appealing to those seeking to create a unique living space or business venture. While it offers a serene countryside atmosphere, it remains conveniently close to Holywell’s local amenities and transport options, making it an attractive consideration for anyone looking to undertake a significant redevelopment project.
