Former Llanberis Outdoor Education Centre Sells for Double the Guide Price

Kent Mountain Centre Llanberis

Legat Owen, in partnership with Town & Country Property Auctions, is pleased to announce the sale of the Kent Mountain Centre, on the outskirts of Llanberis.

The former outdoor education centre lies next to Llyn Padarn, Llanberis and had a guide price of £185,000 when it went up for sale with Town & Country Property Auctions last month.  The property sold for £370,000; exactly double the guide price.

The landmark site, previously owned and operated by Kent County Council, closed a few years ago.  The property comprises a number of buildings on a site extending to circa 7.29 acres.  The main house, entrance lodge and footbridge are all Grade Two Listed.   

Hannah Baker, Legat Owen commented:

“The sale price achieved demonstrates the strength of demand.  There is a common misconception that auctions are the place to go for a bargain.  In reality, the competitive nature of an auction has helped our client achieve the best possible sale price.  Auctions are the perfect place to sell unique properties like this one.”

Llanberis is a popular tourist destination in Eryri National Park and the property is within easy reach of the A55 expressway, providing convenient access to all parts of North Wales.
