Description

Plas Canol is a three-bedroom detached historic house, believed to date from 1818 and once to have formed part of the Penrhyn Estate. The property is not listed and is described as requiring significant restoration. It stands at the end of a gated private drive, within grounds of just under three-quarters of an acre, with ample off-road parking, a double stone-built garage and workshop, and the remains of former stone outbuildings. A further farm gate provides access to the side of the land. The ground floor includes a large reception hall with parquet flooring, an original fireplace and timber detailing, a drawing room, a separate sitting room or study, and a dining room. The kitchen is an original 1960s fit-out and connects to a utility room housing the boiler. There is also a rear hall and a ground-floor shower room. Upstairs are three bedrooms and a family bathroom with its original 1960s suite. Original fireplaces and other period details remain in several rooms. The house has mains gas central heating, mains water and drainage, and mains electricity. The EPC rating is F and the council tax band is F. The grounds include lawn, mature trees, shrubs and the remains of old stone buildings. The property is in Penrhosgarnedd, with the hospital, Bangor University, schools and the A55 described as nearby or readily accessible. The seller has not commissioned a survey.

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 characterful former smallholding with a private drive, just under three-quarters of an acre, a double garage/workshop and original details including fireplaces and parquet flooring. The photographed interiors offer a substantial restoration canvas: the kitchen and bathroom are dated, and several living spaces and bedrooms would benefit from new finishes and flooring. The overgrown area around the old outbuilding also offers scope to improve the grounds.

The score is E (49/100), reflecting limited condition and price/value scores rather than a lack of character or location appeal. Floor area is missing, so value versus local £/sqf cannot yet be judged. The £65,000–£125,000 renovation range signals a full project; the visible roof and elevations appear broadly intact, though close inspection is needed.

Key opportunities

  • Restore the original fireplaces, parquet flooring and timber details while updating the dated finishes across the photographed living spaces and bedrooms.
  • Rework the dated kitchen and bathroom as part of a full-house improvement, with the kitchen positioned beside the dining room.
  • Make more of the nearly three-quarter-acre grounds, including the overgrown area around the old outbuilding; the private drive and double garage/workshop add useful practical space.

Key risks

  • The £65,000–£125,000 works range and consistently dated photographed interiors point to a substantial restoration programme, not a cosmetic refresh; budget and programme will need to allow for work across the house.
  • Floor area is missing, so price/value versus local £/sqf cannot yet be assessed.
