Ridge Cottage is a striking, double-fronted five-bedroom detached home close to the Rhos on Sea promenade, recently refurbished while retaining its original character. Designed by architect Sidney Faulkes and Grade II listed, the house blends period detail — panelling, coved ceilings, original verandas and sash-style glazing — with modern comforts such as a newly installed gas central heating system and an upgraded kitchen/breakfast room.
Three of the bedrooms enjoy sea views and the accommodation is arranged over a generous split-level landing, giving flexible living space for a growing family. Outside there is a tiered front garden, a lawned side/rear garden, covered paved seating areas to the front and rear and a garage set at the elevated front of the plot.
The listing status is an important consideration: any future alterations will be subject to listed-building consent and could limit or slow structural changes. The house has just one family bathroom (bath and separate shower) which may be tight for five bedrooms without further adaptation. The property is being offered chain-free and is freehold.
Location offers seaside living and easy access to local amenities in Rhos on Sea and Colwyn Bay, but buyers should note the wider area scores high for recorded crime and is classified as very deprived — practical considerations for family life and insurance. Overall, Ridge Cottage will appeal to buyers seeking a substantial period family home by the sea who value character, strong recent refurbishment and are comfortable managing the constraints of a Grade II listed building.
