FORMER WOOLLEN MILL

This is a large, unlisted, stone and slate building of some 10,000 square feet of floor space with full planning approval for conversion to residential use. The current plans are for four three bedroom houses, one four bedroom house with a two bedroom self contained flat over workshop area. The present plans could be changed, subject to planning approval, to provide an increased number of smaller units if required.

The mill still retains some interesting features which are part of the history of the place. It includes an original, hand operated lift and also includes the water wheels which were, in their day, the height of technology. It is really necessary to see the mill to appreciate the potential.

The vendors have brought mains electricity and water and also a number of telephone lines to the mill. The flat and 4 bed ‘house to be’ are also connected to a private drainage system. The only outstanding job is to install a private sewage system for the remainder of the mill.

EXTERNALLY

The property is approached via its own track from the hamlet. This leads to a large parking / turning area to the side of the cottage. From here there is gated access to the cottage and access to cross the river to the mill.

The cottage has a private parking space and a large car port to the rear. It is set in its own private gardens which extend to the front and to the side.

To the front of the main mill building there is plenty of space for parking / turning and for garden.

To the rear of the main mill there is plenty of space to provide good-sized gardens to each unit. Some of this area is already utilised as garden by the current owners.

The gardens extend to the side of the mill and are divided into a mixture of ornate formal garden, less formal garden and vegetable garden. A stream runs between the main mill and the cottage and is an attractive feature.

There is also an area of beech woodland beyond the cottage. This rises up the valley side.

The property is located on the edge of a small hamlet between two villages. The local villages offer shop / post office, farm shop, primary school and garage. It is only a short drive to the beautiful Cardigan Bay coast.
