One of Carmarthen’s most distinctive Georgian buildings has come to the market, offering buyers a rare opportunity to own an important piece of the town’s architectural and commercial history.
Known as Eagle Star House, the impressive Grade II listed townhouse at 9 Quay Street, Carmarthen, is being marketed by Fine & Country West Wales with offers over £550,000.
Dating from the late eighteenth century, the elegant townhouse has played several roles throughout its lifetime. Originally built as a private residence, it later became the offices of Eagle Star Insurance before serving as a solicitor’s practice. Today, many of those historic links remain, including the property’s original strong room and safe.
Occupying a prominent position on Quay Street, and widely regarded as Carmarthen’s finest Georgian street and home to several buildings recognised on the town’s Civic Society Blue Plaque Trail. The property offers more than 3,270 square feet of beautifully proportioned accommodation across four floors.
Behind its elegant Georgian façade are seven bedrooms, three reception rooms, a spectacular 36-foot open-plan kitchen, period fireplaces, original timber floors, sash windows and panelling, alongside a flexible lower ground floor with annexe potential. A detached double garage with private access and a private riverside patio garden complete what is an exceptionally rare offering within Carmarthen town centre.
The home combines the scale and grandeur expected of a Georgian townhouse with practical modern living, making it suitable for a wide range of buyers, from large families and multigenerational households to those seeking a prestigious home with space to work from home or accommodate guests.
Properties of this historical significance rarely become available in West Wales. Eagle Star House represents an opportunity not simply to purchase a substantial family home, but to become the custodian of one of Carmarthen’s landmark buildings.
The property is being marketed by Fine & Country West Wales.
