New tenants have moved into an Victorian country house in Holyhead which has been turned into flats.

Plas Alltran, which dates to the late 19th century, was left derelict after it was last used as a doctor's surgery in the 1970s.

A £1.5 million project has seen the Grade II-listed building restored and refurbished into four one-bedroom apartments - all of which have now been let.

Anglesey Council says the development has a focus on meeting local housing needs and ensuring people can access safe and appopriate accommodation in their community.

Cllr Carwyn Jones, who holds the council housing portfolio and recently visited the flats, said: "This is a fantastic example of how we can breathe new life into an important historic building while creating high-quality homes for local people."

"It is especially pleasing to see tenants now moving in and beginning the next chapter of Plas Alltran's story."

"The development forms part of the council's wider efforts to increase the supply of affordable housing across the island, while also protecting and enhancing its built heritage."

Originally built between 1890 and 1891, Plas Alltran was once named as one of the most endangered historic buildings in Wales and England.

In 2020, the Victorian Society said its then owner, who was based in South Korea, had no plans for the buildings .

The council says Plas Alltran has been "sensitively restored" and preserves its distinctive character while incorporating energy-efficient features to meet modern living standards.

Ned Michael, head of housing services at Anglesey Council, added: "Providing safe, affordable housing is one of the council's key strategic priorities."

"Projects like Plas Alltran demonstrate our commitment to ensuring that everyone has somewhere to call home; while making best use of the resources and assets we already have within our communities."

"This special project was supported through funding from the Welsh Government and Cadw, removing the building from the At Risk Register, and allowing us to secure its future for generations to come."

The project was delivered by the council in partnership with BTP Architects and specialist contractors.
