Meticulously refurbished and architecturally reimagined, the property combines elegant period detailing with best-in-class contemporary specification, creating a home of remarkable character, width and volume.Behind its handsome façade, the house unfolds into a series of beautifully proportioned interiors, notable for their unusually generous lateral space—an uncommon attribute in this location. The ground floor, enhanced by a professional excavation, enjoys exceptional ceiling heights and a wonderful sense of light and openness.A formal reception room to the front offers a refined setting for entertaining, bathed in natural light from south-facing sash windows and centred around an extraordinary hand-carved 17th-century Louis XIV fireplace, sourced from a French château. A second matching fireplace further enhances the home’s sense of heritage and distinction.The principal living space lies to the rear, where a striking open-plan kitchen, dining and family area has been designed as the true heart of the home.

Just moments from Shoreditch and Islington, it offers a rare balance of calm residential living and vibrant café, dining and nightlife on the doorstep.Lovingly maintained for over 25 years, this is a rare and exceptional home—offering architectural distinction, outstanding specification and beautifully considered family living in one of Islington’s most desirable enclaves.

Don’t miss the opportunity to own this remarkable residence in one of North Wales’ most sought-after locations. Embrace the charm, elegance, and tranquillity of Tir Y Coed—your dream country retreat awaits!SELLER INSIGHTHow long have you owned the property?“We moved here at the end of June 2016, so just over eight years ago.”What attracted you to this specific house and location?“The garden was the biggest draw; the tranquillity of the place strikes you as soon as you arrive. There is no through traffic, the soundtrack is provided by the birds.  The house is on the edge of the Rowen and a five-minute stroll from the village pub. Rowen is pretty and has featured in one the broadsheet’s top places to live in the UK (very subjective but still interesting).   We sit on the edge of the second largest wilderness in the UK, yet only 10 minutes from Llandudno Junction and from there, just over three hours to Euston.   For the first few years Chris commuted every week, so being able to be in central London well before 9 a.m. on Monday morning made a big difference.”What would you like to tell parents about the benefits of raising children here?“Our children are fully grown but I would feel very happy bringing children up here. There are good schools nearby and a bus picks up the children every day. In terms of activities, there are plenty of options. The area around here is cycling nirvana, whether it’s mountain bikes or road bikes, and we’re only a few miles from the coast, so there are numerous water sport options.  There’s a good cricket club and Links Golf Course in Conwy and the Welsh Under 20 ruby team play at Porth Eirias in Colwyn where there is a professional team. We have a swimming pool in Llandudno as well as tennis courts in Conwy and an active wild swimming club in Trefriw, a few miles down the valley. We are blessed by nature – there are polecats, owls, falcons and wild horses in the mountains surrounding the village.  And of course we live in Snowdonia, one of the world’s great adventure playgrounds.”What can you tell us about the history of the property and how it has been adapted since you’ve owned it?“The house was built in 1897 by a well-known Llandudno hotelier, Edwin Goulding who owned Goulding’s Hotel in Church Walks. We can see from the Ordnance Survey Map from a few years before that there was already a property called Woodlands (Tir y Coed is ‘Woodlands’ in Welsh) so it appears that Mr Goulding demolished that property and built a new house on the site. Contemporaneous Council records show that he received planning permission to build “a villa” on the site.  The story of the new house and how Mr Goulding brought a party of VIP guests from the hotel to Rowen is recorded in the news, where it seems they had society gossip columns in those days too!”The following text is from The North Wales Chronicle on Saturday 4th September 1897:A Party of Visitors from Goulding's Hotel had a good time on Thursday during a day's outing to Roe Wen in the Conway Valley, where Mr Goulding has erected a commodious house on a charming site.The party included a General - two Anglo-Indian Generals have been staying at Goulding's - an ex-Mayor of Oxford, a prominent resident from Nottingham well-known in cricket circles, and several others.Of course the route is too well-known to need comment. The grand view from Tywyn Hill, then through Conway with its ancient Castle, after which the sylvan scenery of the Valley is lovely all the way with occasional glimpses of the Rhine of North Wales.Arrived at The Woodlands, as Mr Goulding styles his new house, the unanimous remark was What a beautiful spot; and one of the ladies caused a smile by ejaculating Oh, what a suitable place for a honeymoon!“And indeed the location is charming beyond description. Visitors staying here for a time would probably greatly appreciate a few days at The Woodlands.“The party on Thursday enjoyed themselves to the full. Anecdotes, especially by the ex-Mayor and the General, were numerous, and the ladies asked more conundrums than we have heard since Christmas.“The Gouldings kept the property in their family until the 1930s when it changed it’s name to Tir y Coed. Several well-to-do people owned the property including the Conwy Assizes Court Wigmaker, and we have heard tales from people in the village of some of the others, including one exasperated lady, who’s chauffeur would disappear to the neighbouring property, where the neighbour’s daughter would be happy to make him cups of tea!At some point in the 1960s, the place was turned into a guest house and had been run as a boutique hotel for over 40 years when we took over.Since we have been here, we have gradually changed the house back to something that feels like our home rather than a business, and now we operate as a B&B and only for the summer months. We have reclaimed the dining room and the drawing room but leave it open to guests as a facility.We have replaced the old sash windows with double glazing, re-roofed using beautiful bull-nosed clay tiles, replaced the boiler and water cylinders but the biggest project of all though has been the coach house, which was abandoned and had ivy growing through the walls. This is where we live in the summer, and it features a lovely minstrels gallery which originally housed two single beds to accommodate a family let. We also included plumbing for the gallery in case we ever wanted to install a bath up there, to take advantage of the views and plumbing on the balcony just in case we wanted a hot tub. However, since Covid the Coach House mezzanine has served as Chris’s office, providing him with amazing views of the mountains whilst working, definitely the best office he’s ever worked in!  We loved this project so much that we are now looking to build our forever home.”Who do you think would be the ideal next owner?“The house offers so many options but someone working from home could use the coach house as we have, but it's also ideal as a “granny annex” or as a studio (the views are inspiring). Obviously, the house is very well established as a boutique B&B, so it also would lend itself to a couple looking for a lifestyle business.“What’s your favourite room and why?“The living room which leads into the dining room is our favourite as it’s where we spend most time during the winter months when we reclaim the house as our home. When we redecorated, we added a little glitter to the paint which you can’t see in the day, but does show up when the fire is lit.  The log burner provides the cosy ambience, there are fir trees outside the windows and when the place is dressed for Christmas it is simply magical.”Memorable/remarkable event?“The lockdown during Covid. Our youngest child was in Australia with his girlfriend, and it appeared that they were going to be stuck there. We somehow managed to get them home on a flight to Manchester and they caught a taxi here. They were able to quarantine for a few weeks in the Coach House. As the weather was fabulous we met them every day in the garden, where we were able to keep our distance but still have meals together.  They stayed with us for a few months and helped us establish the kitchen garden.”What do you love about the house the most now?“The versatility of the place, the views of the mountains, the birds, and the garden (still).”What you’ll miss most?“The fact that we both have our own spaces so we’re never in each other’s way. Chris will never have an office like the one he has now in the Coach House and Sandra will miss the garden and our neighbours.”What do you love about the local community?“There is an active and thriving community, with a village hall, which timetable is packed with numerous classes, a play group and hosts plays, art fairs, movie nights and the occasional concert. We are lucky to have a pub, a coffee shop and a chapel. Every two years there is an open gardens event and there is a village carnival every year.”Additional Information Services: Mains water, electricity and drainage.
