Llwyngwril Gallery Holiday Accommodation
We bought this building in 2001, from the Church in Wales. It had been a Church Room for many years, providing a venue for village weddings, the Home Guard practiced in it during the war, Brownies and Scouts camped, and so much more besides. We loved that it was an important venue in the village, with a lot of history. Our plans to open it as a Gallery with a Tearoom would enable the community to still access it. So we converted it.
Obviously, Businesses must cover their costs and Llwyngwril Gallery, no matter how hard I worked at it, for 7 days a week, it clearly wasn’t viable as an Arts Centre, at that time.
So, we then converted the building a second time into two houses as holiday lets with the promise of it being more lucrative. This worked well and all of our guests enjoyed staying in the two very spacious, and comfortable, well-equipped houses. Now my own age and my health issues necessitate the sale of the property.
There are several possibilities for these houses. They are still registered and are operating as holiday lets. Should anyone wish to use them as residential, there is absolutely no problem with this and you simply must notify the Council that one, or both are residential. Had we changed their designation to residential, and a buyer wanted to run one as a holiday let, they would have to go through a Planning Application. So, to keep options open, we have kept them as they were, as holiday lets. To go from holiday lets to residential, there is no requirement for planning.
This property contains two houses for one price! It could provide a home for someone with a relative they wish to have next door, as an annexe. The one house, Myfanwy is accessible and suitable for use by a wheelchair user. Many guests have stayed here with those needs. An accessible bedroom on the ground floor, with an ensuite Wetroom, has enabled many disabled people to have holidays here and so could be lived in as well. It is the whole building, which is for sale, one price for the two houses. There is potential for re-jigging, according to the needs of the purchaser.
The building was converted to a high standard and each is well insulated. Each is sound-proofed from the other, in the dividing wall. All part of the stringent building regs. There is underfloor heating on the ground floor, and radiators upstairs. An eco-friendly bio-mass boiler heats the two houses. Each house is zoned, so that you don’t have to heat the whole building, just what is in use. There is currently a Renewable Heat Incentive payment quarterly for all Kwh generated, which goes some way toward the cost of the fuel. In the event of a sale, this is transferrable.
The property is priced at a level to give the buyer good value for money. It could provide a residential home, with an annexe for family, or the 2nd house, a source of income as holiday let, or a long term let. There are a range of possibilities. There would also be the possibility of making the two houses into one, if this was preferred, with planning.
