Where Heritage Meets Home
Precision. Vision. Home.
At Peregrine Developments, we believe that exceptional homes are born from the marriage of timeless Welsh heritage and forward-thinking innovation. Our developments don't simply occupy the landscape, they honour it, enhance it, and become part of its story for generations to come.
Ffion Hughes, Director and CEO
A down-to-earth Welsh entrepreneur with a proven restoration and development background, Ffion is a Welsh speaker with deep Celtic roots, born and raised in the Gwynedd countryside. Her passion extends beyond property development into community building, charity work, and bringing meaningful economic growth through business an enterprise to Wales. Currently, she's restoring her own landmark historic property in Caernarfon, carefully returning it to its original architectural features whilst integrating modern sustainability, a project that exemplifies her commitment to preserving Welsh heritage whilst creating homes for the future.
Our Approach
We've assembled a highly qualified team of architects, developers, surveyors, and heritage specialists who share our vision. Through close partnerships with local planning authorities, Natural Resources Wales, and the Snowdonia National Park Trust, we ensure every project hits all milestones whilst achieving careful innovation and practical beauty. Our developments respect planning frameworks, environmental considerations, and community needs, delivering luxury that fits naturally within Welsh landscapes and townscapes.
Rooted in Community, Building for Tomorrow
Every Peregrine development begins with listening — to the land, to the community, to the heritage that makes Wales extraordinary. We're not here to impose corporate visions; we're here to work alongside local people, planning authorities, and conservation bodies to create developments that enhance rather than overwhelm.
Our projects bring genuine economic opportunities to Welsh communities, supporting local trades, craftspeople, and suppliers. We believe in generational thinking , creating homes and developments that will serve families and communities for decades to come, whilst respecting the centuries of history that came before.
Our Current Work & What We Create
Current Projects: The Pool Street Restoration
Our main project is the careful restoration of Pool Street in Caernarfon. This is an important historic building we are bringing back to life due to its significant past. We are restoring its original Victorian features for modern commercial use. This sets a new standard for development in the town.
This project shows what Peregrine Developments is all about. We work closely with the local community, conservation experts, and planning teams. Every choice respects the building's history, from original stonework and old windows to inside details that show Welsh craftsmanship through time.
This is more than just restoring a building. We are making a building that will help the community for many years. It mixes true historical style with modern eco-friendly features. These features reduce harm to the environment, while keeping the building's original look. It's an example of how Wales can keep its old buildings without giving up modern comfort or harming the planet.
What We Create: Homes with Purpose & Soul
Careful Restoration Projects
We give historic Welsh buildings new life. We respect their original designs while adding modern comforts. From old townhouses to Victorian homes, we save the work of past builders. We make sure these buildings serve communities for many years. Our restorations follow local heritage rules and work with conservation groups.
Modern Eco Homes
Our new homes use the latest green technology and earth-friendly designs. They include solar power, ground-source heat pumps, natural air systems, and rainwater collection. These homes are very energy efficient and fit well into the Welsh landscape. We use local materials like Welsh slate, timber, and stone. This creates modern homes that feel truly Welsh.
Mixed Heritage & Modern Homes
Some of our most exciting projects mix old and new. We restore old buildings and build modern eco-homes next to them. This brings variety and character. It also helps local businesses; restoration work uses traditional craftspeople, and new builds show off modern Welsh architecture. This creates homes that improve communities, rather than making them all the same.
Family Homes for Generations
We build homes to last for a long time. These are strong properties that can hold growing families, multiple generations, and changing needs over many decades. Built with good materials and smart design, these homes become key parts of families and communities. They help with economic stability and local growth. They are an investment in Wales's future, creating wealth and chances that stay in the communities.
Our Services & Partnership Approach
Peregrine Developments works with landowners, investors, agents, and communities to unlock the potential of Welsh property — always respectfully, always professionally, always with an eye towards long-term community benefit.
For Landowners: Unlocking Potential Respectfully
If you own land in Wales — whether it's a historic building in need of restoration, agricultural land suitable for sensitive development, or a brownfield site ready for regeneration — we can help you unlock its potential. We conduct thorough feasibility studies, navigate planning complexities, and work with you to create developments that honour your land's character whilst delivering strong returns. Our approach is always transparent, fair, and focused on creating lasting value for landowners and communities alike.
For Developers & Investors: Partnership Opportunities
We welcome partnerships with like-minded developers and investors who share our values of quality, sustainability, and community benefit. Whether you're looking for joint venture opportunities, co-investment in specific projects, or development management expertise, Peregrine brings proven restoration credentials, strong local relationships, and a track record of hitting milestones. We're particularly interested in partners who understand the unique opportunities and responsibilities of developing in Wales's protected landscapes and historic towns.
For Agents & Brokers: Professional Collaboration
We work with estate agents, land agents, and property brokers across Wales, offering fair commission structures and straightforward, honest dealings. If you represent landowners considering development opportunities, or investors seeking Welsh property projects, we're always happy to explore potential collaborations. We value the local knowledge and community connections that agents bring, and we believe in building long-term professional relationships based on mutual respect and shared success.
Bespoke Development: From Concept to Completion
For clients with specific visions — whether it's a custom family home, a heritage conversion project, or a carefully planned small development — we offer comprehensive project management from initial concept through to final completion. Our team handles architectural design, planning applications, construction management, and finishing touches, ensuring every detail meets our exacting standards. We're particularly skilled at navigating the complexities of developing within conservation areas, National Park boundaries, and sites with historical significance.
Community & Values: The Heart of Everything We Do
Peregrine Developments was founded on a simple belief: Exception development opportunities should enrich communities, not exploit them. Ffion's background in charity work and community support isn't just biography , it's the foundation of how we operate.
We're proud supporters of Welsh charities and local economic initiatives. We prioritise Welsh suppliers, craftspeople, and contractors wherever possible, keeping money circulating within local economies. We engage with community groups early in the planning process, listening to concerns and incorporating local knowledge into our designs.
As Welsh speakers with deep Celtic roots, we understand the importance of language, culture, and identity in Wales. Our developments aim to create opportunities that encourage young Welsh families to stay in their communities rather than being priced out. We're thinking generationally — about the Wales our children and grandchildren will inherit, and the role thoughtful development can play in creating prosperity that benefits everyone.
This isn't corporate social responsibility checkbox-ticking. It's who we are. Every project we undertake asks the question: How does this make Wales better? If we can't answer that convincingly, we don't proceed.
