An historic Bangor property, which is now derelict, has been sold subject to contract.
The property, known as ‘Blenheim House’ is located next to Bangor railway station on Holyhead Road and has been empty for a number of years. The building has been heavily vandalised and largely destroyed by fire.
Planning permission was granted on appeal in November 2022 ref: C20/0669/11/LL for the demolition of the existing building and the erection of a new four storey building providing 36 one- and two-bedroom apartments (6 affordable) together with communal areas to include the lobby, 3 stairwells and 3 passenger lifts providing access to all floors (subject to conditions).
Associated parking and landscaping works will provide 36 marked car parking bays. Many of the proposed apartments will benefit from large terraces and balconies to take advantage of the outstanding views.
Access to the site is provided from Holyhead Road, with further access proposed to the rear of the site from Convent Lane. The current building is fire-damaged and unsafe to internally access.
The property was listed for sale through Dafydd Hardy Estate Agents with and asking price of £825,000.
