This historic Grade II* listed, pre-Georgian 16th century home is one sale in Conwy, a walled market town in Wales.

This well-preserved residence, situated within the walled heart of Conwy town, is just a short stroll from the castle.

Conwy Castle is one of the most spectacular and well-preserved medieval castles in Wales, and a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

This home on the market stands as one of only two surviving Medieval structures within the town walls, offering a rare glimpse into the past.

Originally constructed as a single storey dwelling in the winter of 1441-42, it retains its 16th century form, with later 18th century additions.

The property is listed for its significant contribution to the town's historic streetscape.

Between 2008 and 2015, the property underwent an extensive and meticulous renovation, carried out with full Listed Building and planning consents.

The current owner, with a deep passion for preserving historic buildings, oversaw the transformation from a bare shell into a beautifully restored home that balances timeless character with modern convenience.

The renovation has created a residence of immense charm, blending historic details with contemporary elements.

The result is a home that offers both luxury and practicality, without compromising the building’s rich history.

The attention to detail throughout is extraordinary, with carefully selected features and finishes that give the property both flair and elegance.

Despite its central location, the interior is remarkably quiet, thanks in part to secondary glazing and a third layer of decorative stained glass.

Central heating was installed during the renovation, featuring a dual-boiler system to ensure the home is warm and efficiently served with hot water.

Designer radiators are scattered throughout the property, complementing the sleek, minimalist kitchen with its solid granite work surfaces and high-end appliances.

A cellar and an attic room provide additional storage space, adding to the property's practicality.

To the rear of the house is a hidden gem – a walled garden that offers a peaceful retreat right in the centre of town.

The garden’s far boundary wall forms part of the original town walls, and wide steps lead up to the upper section, where panoramic views of Conwy Quay, the estuary, and the surrounding countryside can be enjoyed.

Within the garden is an attached former Bakehouse outbuilding, now converted into a garage with a high-pitched ceiling and an original inglenook fireplace, as well as a WC.
