Historic Police Station in Wales Hits Market for £95,000

A quirky ex-police station in Dolgellau, Wales, is currently on the market for £95,000. The property, known as the Old Police Station, holds a Grade II listed status and previously served as the local officers' base.

Despite its unusual history, the building offers deceptively spacious accommodation and could be transformed into a six-bedroom family home. The interior features office areas, a kitchen, and lavatory facilities, while three outdoor courtyards provide pleasant spaces for relaxation. Remarkably, one of the former cells now even serves as a toilet.

Initially advertised in April 2024 for £195,000, the asking price has been dramatically reduced by £100,000. The estate agents describe the property as a "handsome Grade II Listed property of traditional stone construction under a slated roof" that is "in very good order with gas-fired central heating throughout."

The property retains four authentic police cells, three of which still have the original cell doors with inspection hatches. While the vendor is currently selling the building as commercial office space, any buyer may wish to explore the opportunity of turning it into a residential home or similar.

Dolgellau, the town where the property is located, is known for its well-preserved architectural heritage, with over 230 houses identified on urban conservation lists - the highest concentration for any town in Wales.
