An imposing country house and lodge with potential for a variety of uses occupying a rural position with outstanding panoramic views of the Menai Strait and Snowdonia Mountain Range Today Plas Bodfa lends itself to a variety of uses, subject to obtaining the requisite planning consents, either similar to the above or perhaps with residential holiday units, as a restaurant/ gastro pub or spa retreat. Alternatively the entire site could be redeveloped with the house sub-divided into luxury apartments and further development on the gardens and footprint of the large greenhouses. Indeed it is rare to find a property with such potential and occupying a peaceful location with such magnificent panoramic views.
Description
Plas Bodfa dates from the 1920’s albeit with substantial later additions and is constructed of stone and brick with cream painted roughcast rendered elevations under an unusual green slate roof. It has an attractive front façade with symmetrical bow windows either side of the first floor balcony and main entrance, similar in appearance to many buildings designed by Clough Williams-Ellis of Portmeirion fame.
The property has had many different uses over the years both in the residential and commercial sectors. It was originally built as a private country house at which time being far smaller than existing. The property was subsequently run as a steakhouse restaurant, a residential care home and more recently has been the offices and production facility of Elizabeth Bradley Designs Ltd with a busy tea rooms and gift shop open to the public daily. Having formerly been used for commercial purposes, the house does require a certain amount of upgrading both to the outside and interior, but does offer extremely spacious and adaptable accommodation arranged over two floors, part configured as a self-contained flat. The rooms in the original house are well proportioned with high ceilings and large windows to take advantage of the wonderful view. Several original features remain including two impressive slate fireplaces, an Arts & Crafts galleried oak staircase and large stained glass windows. The various extensions have created a series of useful ancillary rooms suitable for many different uses or simply as extensive storage and garaging. In addition there is a detached lodge which could be let to derive a useful income or alternatively occupied by a dependent relative or staff.
