Nestled in the picturesque Welsh countryside, it’s a masterpiece of architectural elegance, conceived by the celebrated Welsh architect Richard Owen. Originally built in 1856 for MP John Roberts, this stately mansion exudes a timeless charm that whispers tales of history and heritage.
After the ravages of World War II, the grand estate underwent a period of transformation, serving as apartments and enduring partial dismantlement. Yet, a quarter of a century ago, fate smiled upon Bryngwenallt Hall when its current owners acquired it, embarking on a labour of love to restore its former glory.
Today, the mansion stands not just as a house, but as a warm, inviting family home, offering the perfect blend of period features and modern-day convenience. And at £1.75m, it’s a bargain compared to how much a house like this would cost anywhere in the Home Counties.
Speaking about the historic home, the current owner said “Though it was built in 1856, it feels as though a modern architect shaped its walls. The light pours in, creating an atmosphere that feels both friendly and safe.”
As you approach Bryngwenallt Hall, you are greeted by ornate wrought iron gates that open onto a private road, leading to pristine white wooden gates. A sweeping 300-meter driveway, lined with mature trees leads visitors toward the main building, where there is plenty of parking, reports North Wales Live.

The historic home has been meticulously refurbished from top to bottom, having been replastered, reroofed, rewired, and replumbed to meet the highest standards of comfort and luxury. The six-bedroom, three-bathroom house is now a sanctuary of sophistication, hidden away in the stunning Conwy countryside.

Entering through the grand double doors, you step into the reception hall, the beating heart of the home. Above, a roof lantern floods the space with natural light, while a contemporary gothic arched window and a glass-enclosed balcony add a touch of drama and elegance.
Ascending the marble staircase — reputed to be one of the most expensive in the world, according to North Wales Live — you reach the first floor, where luxury knows no bounds.
Speaking about the unusual staircase, the owner said “The marble specialist who worked on the bathroom commented that they thought the marble in the staircase was one of the most expensive in the world.”
Every corner of this exceptional property has been touched by the artistry of high-end interior designer Lissi London, whose seamless, sophisticated décor and furnishings transform each room into a work of art.

According to the estate agent, the “intimate and enveloping” formal sitting room “opens up from the reception hall through glazed, bi-folding doors” while “beckoning quiet nights snuggled up on the sofa, a contemporary glass-fronted log-burning stove glows invitingly, inset within the wall”.
It goes on: “Above, intricate coving embellishes the ceiling, whilst views extend out to the leafy fringes on the periphery of the garden and the coastline beyond.”
