Clwyd West MS Darren Millar has welcomed news that a buyer has been found for Kinmel Hall near Abergele but is calling for them to make their intentions for the historic building known as soon as possible.

It was revealed last week that the dilapidated building has been sold at auction for £950,000.

Campaigners had warned that the future of the North Wales mansion, dubbed the Welsh Versailles, would be at risk if action was not taken to preserve it.

Mr. Millar therefore hopes that the new owner will set to work on conserving the building as quickly as possible and is calling on them to reveal to the public their intended use of the historic landmark.

He said: “There has been much concern over the future of Kinmel Hall in recent months, so I am pleased that a buyer has been found and that they are local.

“Being from the area themselves, they will clearly have an understanding of how precious Kinmel Hall is to the local area and want to do it justice.

“I am very keen to know what their intentions for the building are and I know others will be too. I therefore call on the new owner to reveal their intentions for the building as soon as possible and to engage with those who are interested in securing this important piece of our national heritage.

“The previous owner of Kinmel Hall had it for 10 years, but sadly did nothing with it.

“Hopefully the new owner has lots of exciting plans and we will see this magnificent building returned to its former glory.”
