The house is hard to miss, thanks to its vibrant red paint job. Situated near the walls of Conwy Castle, the ground floor of the house serves as the living area, complete with space for coal storage and an open fire.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\" publication=\"mirror\">A water tap can be found tucked away behind the stairs, adding to the home&#8217;s charm.
