Description

This four-storey, bay-fronted stone mid-terrace combines a six-bedroom home with a substantial former shop premises at ground level. The residential accommodation has a separate street entrance and includes a living room, kitchen/diner, utility or hobby room, six bedrooms and a family bathroom. Period details include fireplaces, wood panelling and exposed floorboards. The kitchen and bathroom are described as contemporary, although the property is noted as needing some upgrading. The ground-floor commercial area is arranged as three rooms, including a front shop, a former barber’s room with sinks and plumbing still in place, and a storeroom with access to the rear yard. A connecting door links the shop to the residential hallway. The house also has a rear patio, and upper front rooms are described as having views over the rooftops towards the sea. The property has previously operated as a bed and breakfast with a barber’s shop below. The listing says planning permission is understood to exist for conversion to a single residential property; buyers should verify the permission and its terms independently. It is freehold, connected to mains services and offered with no onward chain. Located on Barmouth’s main thoroughfare, it is within walking distance of local amenities and the beach.

Grade BGood opportunity

Confidence: MEDIUM

At £175,000, Ivy House is a strikingly low-cost way into a substantial 2,013 sq ft stone-built property: its asking price is about £87 per sq ft, well below the local average of £233. The six-bedroom layout, prominent bay frontage and period fireplaces and timber floors give it plenty to work with, while the existing kitchen and bathroom fittings appear usable. The £6,500–£14,000 renovation range points to a focused project around dated finishes and clearing the overgrown rear patio, rather than an obvious major structural overhaul from the submitted images.

The former shop adds a distinctive second-use angle, with barber sinks and plumbing still in place. The listing reports planning permission for conversion to one home, but buyers should verify the permission and feasibility before relying on it. Overall, this is a good opportunity for someone who can make the most of its flexible layout and coastal setting.

Key opportunities

  • Acquire 2,013 sq ft at about £87 per sq ft, substantially below the local average.
  • Refresh the dated finishes while retaining period fireplaces, timber floors and the stone bay-fronted character.
  • Explore the former shop’s potential, including its existing barber sinks and plumbing, and verify the reported permission for conversion to one home.

Key risks

  • The rear patio is heavily planted and cluttered, so its paving and steps need clearing and maintenance.
  • Roof condition cannot be reliably assessed from the available exterior views.
