Description

A rural holding on the outskirts of Morfa Bychan, comprising two detached stone dwellings, a range of outbuildings and approximately 13.34 acres of grass paddocks. The property is described as requiring updating and modernisation. The elevated setting has coastal and countryside views, with Black Rock Sands nearby and Porthmadog around three miles away. Additional land may be available by separate negotiation, and there is no forward chain. The main farmhouse has four bedrooms, with a living room, sitting room, kitchen and bathroom on the ground floor. A separate three-bedroom dwelling provides its own living room, kitchen and shower room. The buildings include a substantial stone outbuilding attached to the second dwelling and other stone, brick and block structures. Further use or conversion of outbuildings would be subject to the necessary permissions. Services are stated as mains electricity, a private borehole water supply, private drainage and LPG central heating. The advertised EPC ratings are G for Tyddyn Adi and F for Drws Ardudwy. The condition and adequacy of services and installations have not been tested, so purchasers should make their own enquiries.

WHOTS analysis

Our WHOTS verdict

An internal assessment of the opportunity to acquire, improve and create value.

49out of 100
Grade ELow opportunity

Confidence: LOW

This is a substantial project with an unusually broad canvas: two stone dwellings, around 13.34 acres, coastal and countryside views, and several outbuildings. The recently renewed slate roofs on the dwellings are a useful starting point, while the dated interiors leave scope to rework both homes; the pictured kitchens also show ceiling damage or staining, and one outbuilding has a collapsed or missing roof section. The £90,000–£180,000 renovation range signals a full project rather than a cosmetic refresh.

The score is E (49/100), reflecting a limited overall opportunity rating rather than a judgement that the price is dear: floor area is missing, so value against local £/sqf cannot yet be assessed. The two dwellings and land give the property distinctive potential for multi-generational use or a tourism-focused project, but the scale of the works and the outbuilding condition need careful budgeting.

Key opportunities

  • Rework the farmhouse and separate three-bedroom annex as two complementary homes, with potential for multi-generational living or tourist accommodation.
  • Use the 13.34 acres, open views and hardstanding to shape a distinctive rural property with improved grounds and outdoor space.
  • Explore practical or alternative uses for the substantial stone, brick and block outbuildings, subject to any necessary permissions.

Key risks

  • The £90,000–£180,000 works range and visible damage in the photographed interiors make this a major multi-building budget and programme, not a cosmetic refresh.
  • One pictured stone outbuilding has a collapsed or missing roof section, and vegetation is overgrown around some buildings.
