Llandudno's amazing £1.8m home with sea views, cinema and garden 'party zone'
Coast meets country, character meets contemporary, visitors meet giraffe
On the property’s sun terrace is an inviting plunge pool guarded by a massive giraffe. Now that the house is being sold, a new guardian will be needed as the statue will be on the hoof with its current owners.
However there’s much else to love about this charming period property and its expansive grounds. From its elevated position above Llandudno, Pen Yr Allt is perfectly located placed to enjoy sweeping sea views across Ormes Bay and the Little Orme.
Despite lying just a mile from the centre of the popular Conwy resort, the property is surrounded by countryside and its beautifully manicured garden feels immersed by nature, reports WalesOnline.

The suburb of Craig-y-Don is just over half-a-mile away and, according to the agents, this benefits from a selection of new bars and shopping facilities opening soon. As well as a host of beautiful beaches to be explored nearby, there are also two prestigious golf courses in the area.
Found off a quiet country road, you are greeted by a garden dominated by the mesmerising sea view. This can be enjoyed from a terrace that hugs the house.
Within the two-acre grounds are a myriad of special spots, including a paddock and stables. Arguably the garden’s most popular area is a party zone which includes an outdoor kitchen and seating area with sofas and hot tub. It’s all undercover and with roll-up “walls” too, so the weather can never be an excuse stop the socialising.
Inside, the property is bursting with character. There are exposed beams, stone walls, wood panelling and a vaulted ceiling in the kitchen. The interior design is elegant and luxurious mixed with personality that presents itself in pops of colour, patterns and layers of texture.
Highlights include a lounge with a surprise mezzanine level that’s a home office space with a sea view. A principal bedroom offers stunning coastal vistas via a massive gable-end window.
There’s tech in the house too, including a wealth of smart home features facilitated by fibre-optic wi-fi. Outside ample parking is offered via the substantial brick-laid driveway approached via electric gates to the detached garage and workshop, which also features an electric car charging point plus layers of outdoor lighting.
The property itself is fully insulated and fitted with a heat pump and 20 solar panels to reduce utility costs. Two rooms have underfloor heating to give the house an EPC energy rating of A.
But maybe the most obvious added tech is a home cinema. It’s a feature that adds an extra layer of excitement to this fabulous and much-loved home.
