Situated within the very heart of Caernarfon’s most historic quarter, enclosed by the iconic castle walls, this exceptional three-storey, three-bay Grade II* Listed Georgian townhouse (with converted basement and attic) occupies a prominent corner position and represents a rare opportunity to acquire a property of outstanding heritage and character.

Dating from 1768, evidenced by a rainwater head shared with No. 16 High Street, despite a later inscription suggesting 1735, the architectural integrity and detailing strongly support the later date. The building retains a wealth of original features, most notably an exquisite early 18th-century staircase, complete with slender turned balusters and elegant colonettes, rising to a striking four-bay landing arcade, an undeniably captivating centrepiece.

Further enhancing its historic appeal are the well-preserved late 19th-century shopfront details, which contribute significantly to the charm and authenticity of Caernarfon’s walled townscape.

Comprehensively renovated in 2017, the property is currently arranged as a licensed restaurant and bistro with five well-appointed guest bedrooms, each benefitting from contemporary en-suite facilities. The restaurant occupies the ground floor and part of the basement, offering a characterful dining environment with considerable charm. The basement also accommodates a fully equipped commercial kitchen alongside customer WC facilities.

Whilst not presently trading, the premises are fully equipped and offer an excellent opportunity for a new owner to re-establish a hospitality business or adapt the space to suit a variety of alternative uses, subject to the necessary planning consents, making it an especially versatile and attractive proposition for investors and owner-occupiers alike.

All guest bedrooms are served by gas central heating, ensuring comfort throughout the year. For a fuller understanding of the layout and accommodation, interested parties are encouraged to refer to the accompanying floorplan.

Please note that certain personal items belonging to the vendor are excluded from the sale.

Caernarfon is centred around its magnificent 13th century castle, situated right on the shores of the stunning Menai Strait, being one of the UK's most celebrated World Heritage sites. Within the castle walls you'll discover narrow streets with a choice of restaurants and eateries amongst others. This is a unique location offering a vibrant experience!
