Centrally positioned within grounds of 0.8 of an acre, and situated on the edge of the town centre of Menai Bridge, the sale of Y Graig Wen gives a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial Grade 2 listed detached Gentleman's residence of character, having a slightly elevated position to enjoy fine views over the nearby Menai Strait towards the Snowdonia mountain ranges. Being in need of some modernisation and repair, this substantial dwelling house has the added bonus of a large Studio/Office extension over a large double garage which itself lends itself for conversion into an Annex if required. The substantial accommodation extends to over 3800 square feet, and presently provides a hallway with access to the Studio, 3 Reception rooms, kitchen, utility room, 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. The Studio has two ground floor offices and a large open plan area to the first floor over a double garage.
