It is hard to imagine a character conversion which has made better use of original features whilst incorporating modern convenience and taking full advantage of the spectacular views. This unique property requires an internal viewing to fully appreciate the flexible accommodation which could provide a large character home, or split to provide two [as is currently the case], or even three self-contained units. The Old Court House provides a unique residential conversion from the original Grade ll listed building which has been tastefully completed to provide highly adaptable accommodation which is only fully appreciated from an internal viewing whereby you can fully enjoy the spacious feel of the well-presented accommodation. Whilst this is currently laid out to provide a great family home with a separate self-contained 1 bedroom flat, there is also potential to split the property vertically to provide a further self-contained unit if required and subject to the necessary consents. Whilst the location, and views from the property provide sufficient appeal to entice many a purchaser, the superb use of many original features only add to this appeal. These features include spacious double height ceiling to the main reception having large arched windows which frame the breath taking views over the Menai Strait, original cell doors to the bathroom and sympathetic use of stonework and timber features throughout. The current layout of the property provides a spacious family house together with a completely self-contained flat to the lower ground floor, which could be used to provide accommodation for a relative, or equally suited to generate an income from either holiday lets, or an assured shorthold tenancy.
This magnificent, and substantial character property occupies a highly desirable location within the old town of Menai Bridge being just yards from the waterfront, and within 300 yards of the town centre with is bespoke shops, & Waitrose, popular public houses, and busy restaurants, as well as enjoying spectacular views over the Menai Strait.
On crossing the Menai Suspension bridge from the mainland turn right at the roundabout towards the town centre, and take the first right turn into Chapel Street, then right again at the bottom of Chapel Street where the property will then be seen overlooking the bowling green on the right hand side.
