Ruthin, Denbighshire

A distinguished and beautifully converted Grade II listed residence, Bathafarn House marries historic grandeur with artistic flair, occupying a prime position with private parking.


Ground floor
Bathafarn House is an exceptional Grade II listed residence, occupying a prominent and historic position on Market Street in the heart of Ruthin. Rarely does a property of this calibre come to market, combining architectural grandeur, an artistic and sympathetic conversion and the highly sought after benefit of private parking and garaging within the town centre.

The property immediately impresses with its elegant stone façade, traditional sash windows and fine period detailing, all hallmarks of its listed status.

A sheltered timber and stained glass door opens into an impressive entrance hall, richly styled and finished with original Minton flooring. The hall is both imposing and welcoming, housing the principal staircase, a ground floor WC and providing access through to the rear of the property.

To the right of the hall lies an intimate and characterful snug, centred around an ornate open fireplace with a tiled surround and striking bottle green tiled hearth. This room offers a refined retreat, ideal for quieter evenings.

To the left, the main reception room unfolds into two grand open areas, creating an elegant and versatile entertaining space. Both fireplaces provide striking focal points, while the front area enjoys a box bay window that bathes the room in natural light and frames views over Market Street, reinforcing the home’s historic presence.

Positioned toward the rear is a distinctive breakfast kitchen, thoughtfully designed to balance creativity with practicality. The dining area features reclaimed church pew seating arranged around a central square table, lending a unique narrative and sense of craftsmanship. The kitchen itself is fitted with wood effect cabinetry complemented by contrasting worktops, with integrated appliances including a Lamona oven and grill, Beaumatic hob, and Candy fridge and freezer.

First floor
The staircase rises gracefully past a stained glass window, arriving at a generous first floor landing that continues the theme of light and space. The principal bedroom is served by a beautifully curated “pink” themed en suite shower room, while the second bedroom enjoys its own “blue” themed en suite, each offering individuality and contemporary comfort.

Bedrooms three and four are of generous proportion and are served by a well appointed family bathroom, which is located on the first floor. This stylish suite is fitted with a bath with overhead shower, wash hand basin and WC.

Gardens and grounds
Externally, the front garden is enclosed by a neat stone and rail wall, with a path flanked by lawns leading to the front entrance, helping complete an attractive front façade.

To the rear, a gated access from Mount Street opens into a private parking yard and single garage with up and over door, a truly rare and valuable feature for a town centre property.

The rear garden is arranged as a tiered patio terrace, attractively laid with flagstones and enclosed by bespoke fencing, creating a private and refined outdoor space. Two rear outhouses provide excellent storage, complementing the practicality of this remarkable home.

Bathafarn House stands as a testament to exquisite conversion, where historic integrity, artistic expression and modern living have been seamlessly united, offering a home of distinction in one of Ruthin’s most desirable locations.

Situation
Bathafarn House occupies a commanding position on Market Street, placing it at the very heart of Ruthin’s historic centre. From the front door, the town square is just moments away, offering immediate access to an excellent selection of independent shops, cafés and restaurants, and supporting a lifestyle that is both vibrant and effortlessly convenient.

Ruthin is widely celebrated as one of North Wales’s most attractive and culturally rich market towns, admired for its architectural heritage, strong sense of identity and enduring appeal. Regularly recognised as one of the most desirable places to live in Wales, the town strikes a rare balance between historic character and modern practicality. Educational provision is particularly strong, with a choice of highly regarded schools including Ruthin School and Myddelton College, both within easy reach.

Despite its historic charm, Ruthin is exceptionally well connected. Chester lies within comfortable commuting distance, while the A55 provides swift access across North Wales and onward connections to Liverpool, Manchester and the wider motorway network, making the area ideal for professionals and those seeking connectivity without compromise.
The surrounding landscape further enhances the appeal, with the Clwydian Range offering immediate access to open countryside, walking routes and panoramic views. Beyond this, Snowdonia National Park and the North Wales coastline including destinations such as Llandudno and Anglesey are all readily accessible for leisure and retreat.

Bathafarn House presents a rare opportunity to acquire a property of genuine stature and presence, where historic distinction, town centre convenience and private parking converge a combination seldom found and highly prized in one of North Wales’s most refined market towns.
