The Tour Inside, the layout feels intuitive and grounded. The entrance hall leads splits into a generous living space at the front of the property, where a floor-to-ceiling window washes the room in daylight. Original wooden flooring underfoot. Log burner in the corner. Exposed brickwork where once it was hidden. The balance between restoration and reinvention is quietly impressive.
At the rear the kitchen is a standout—hand-built by a local maker from Llandudno, Peter Arthur. It’s a space that celebrates tactility: timber worktops, open shelving, an exposed fireplace, and a Belfast sink that sits with ease beside integrated modern appliances. Adjacent is a practical utility room with its own shower and WC—great for returning from the mountains or the beach.
Upstairs, two calming bedrooms continue the natural palette, with tall sash windows and timeworn floorboards underfoot. The main bedroom comes with a separate dressing space ideal as a nursery, home office, or future ensuite. A skylit bathroom brings clean lines and cool tones, with a generous walk-in shower and contemporary tiling throughout. The Exterior Space like this is rare within Conwy’s ancient walls. At the front, there’s allocated parking—a practical luxury in this part of town. To the side, a private lawn opens out towards the old town walls themselves, where a stone turret rises just beyond the garden’s edge. It’s dramatic, yes, but also quietly serene. Mature trees line the perimeter, and there’s a sense of stillness that’s difficult to put into words. Set off to the side is a stone-built workshop. Robust, characterful, and ripe with potential, whether as a studio, a garden room, or just a great space to get things done. The History Originally, this house wasn’t here. It started life over on the Menai Strait, one of several homes built by the railway company in the 1850s. When the Britannia Bridge station was shut down, the properties were disassembled and rehomed—quite literally—within the newly developing area around Conwy’s station. What remains is a physical link between places, a home shaped by movement, restoration, and resilience. Ty Pren Menai stands as a one-off—a piece of railway history, reassembled behind ancient town walls, quietly offering the best of both worlds: the soul of the past, with a rhythm that works for right now.
