Llanfair Road, Abergele, Conwy, LL22

Woven into the history of this former market town, Bryn Aber House is a proud historical landmark of Abergele. Once the home and birthplace of the famous writer and poet Emrys ap Iwan.

Formerly a care home, this property has been meticulously renovated and converted back into an impressive family home, spread over upwards of 6500 square feet of living space, comprising decadent and social living spaces, and extensive bedroom suites, while being wrapped by beautiful gardens.

From the moment you enter the property, you get an instant feel for what you can expect as you explore in more detail. You are greeted by a beautiful hallway and gallery staircase spanning all three floors, open to gallery landings. The first-floor landing currently features a grand piano and provides access to a balcony. Albeit this home is extensive in its scale, the flowing layout connects the spaces in a way that makes you feel at home from the minute you enter, while providing the space for a family to find their own privacy and comfort in one of the many reception rooms or bedroom suites.

Its prominent position on Llanfair Road provides both easy access to the local bustling town while being set back enough to benefit from a residential setting and stunning views across the town and out to sea.

Accommodation - Spread over three floors, the accommodation provides ample luxurious spaces, plenty of versatility, and is finished to a high standard throughout.

Spacious Living Areas: This property boasts a number of generous living areas, each with classic fireplaces perfect for cosy evenings, and large windows providing a light and airy feel.

Impressive Receptions: A dining room fit for a feast! At the front of the property is a stunning dedicated dining area, with a feature fireplace. This room embodies the luxurious feel and style of this property and provides the most incredible space for social people looking to entertain guests. That’s not all—tucked at the back of the property is the largest space yet, a huge recreational room currently being utilised as a snooker and games room. This space would lend itself to multiple uses, including a gym or cinema room.

Modern Kitchen: A beautiful, modern yet traditionally styled kitchen blending the two styles harmoniously. Finished with premium granite worktops, a standalone feature oven and stove, and right in the heart, an impressive island that can accommodate the whole family. Open directly through to a spacious sitting room, these connected rooms make the perfect family hub.

Functional Spaces: This home also provides a wealth of additional functional spaces including a downstairs cloakroom off the rear hall, along with a large utility and laundry space ideal as a secondary “chef’s kitchen” and an office space off the main hallway.

Bedroom Suites: The property comprises at least six bedrooms, with five having private bathrooms. These rooms are currently laid out as suites, comprising a mix of bedroom, dressing, and bathroom spaces, with others having dedicated reception areas. Each room provides the kind of space you’d now come to expect of such a generously scaled property. There is scope with many of these rooms to either expand the total number of bedrooms if required. Alternatively, with two of the rooms being on the second floor, these would make great multi-purpose rooms, whether working from home is important or for dedicated self-contained living.

Gardens: Sitting behind electric gates, stone walls, and mature hedging, the property boasts a beautifully landscaped garden, ideal for outdoor activities, gardening, or simply relaxing in the sun. The patio area is perfect for al fresco dining and summer barbecues. To the front of the property, for convenience, there is dual gated access and ample space for parking multiple vehicles. Plans have been drawn up and a planning process started for an impressive two-storey garage and workshop space. For more information on this, please contact the agent.

Historical Significance - Bryn Aber House holds a special place in local history as the former residence of the esteemed Welsh scholar and writer Emrys ap Iwan (1848–1906). Emrys ap Iwan, born Robert Ambrose Jones, was a prominent figure in the Welsh literary and cultural revival of the late 19th century. Known for his passionate advocacy of the Welsh language and nationalism, he made significant contributions to Welsh literature and education. Emrys ap Iwan was a prolific writer and critic, whose works continue to influence Welsh cultural and political thought. His commitment to preserving and promoting the Welsh language earned him a lasting legacy, and his former home, Bryn Aber House, remains a symbol of his enduring impact on Welsh heritage.
