LAP UP THE LUXURY this summer with this enchanting retreat in the superb Hen Wrych Hall Tower, located in Abergele.

 

The tower overlooks the 500-year-old Hen Wrych Hall, once home to the famous poet Felicia Hemans.

The property sits in the original curtain of Gwrych Castle, which is ranked as one of the most important castellated houses of the picturesque style in Britain.

 

The castle, with its associated lodges and towers was completed sometime in 1822, after being designed by Lord and Lady Bamford along with architectural theorist Thomas Rickman.

What’s incredibly interesting about the property is it still holds a lot of historical elements, including original cast iron windows and traces of scratched pictures of period sailing ships, believed to have been done by Napoleonic prisoners of war hundreds of years ago.

 

The current owners, in partnership with the local Conwy conservation officer carried out extensive renovations. This included preserving an original bread oven and camber headed front door and also adding a specially commissioned metal window matching the Rickman window downstairs.

Beautiful bed covers.

The tower has a couple of notable features including a deep slipper bath and original Thomas Crapper toilet cistern.

 

Other features include an Elizabethan-style deep carved four poster bed, hand carved mahogany staircase and wood burning stove.
