Hillside Court, Holywell, Flintshire, CH8

OVERVIEW Halcyon Days, which means a time of happiness and contentment, you just might find to be a very appropriate namesake of 26 Hillside Court, Holywell, and is a property you really must see as there might be quite a lot to like here. By now you will be aware of the outlooks, the generous outdoor space, the newly constructed cabins - one being a large room with the other divided and the generous parking to the side of the property.

A key feature of this property's position is the significant rear views over the former Holywell Railway Branch line that now forms the Upper end of the Greenfield Valley Nature Reserve. This offers the discerning buyer a quiet countryside outlook yet without isolation; a host of amenities are within easy walking or a short driving distance.

The spacious hall with generous storage creates an instant first impression. With access to all principal rooms including the good-sized lounge with tiled fire place, three bedrooms and bathroom. But what is the real heart of this lovely home must be the fantastic open-plan family room with newly-fitted kitchen and outlooks to the rear over the valley and beyond. This family room is a good-sized L shaped room where you will be able to spend more time with those that really matter. It is also the ideal place for your friends and family gatherings. The room starts with a lounge and dining area where there is a living flame effect electric/gas fire and an outlook over your garden and towards the countryside. The long run of the recently-fitted shaker style kitchen also starts here and our sellers certainly made the right choice with the marble effect surfaces and surround. There is kick board lighting and a one and a half bowl stainless steel sink with chrome mixer tap and drainer. The integrated appliances include an eye level fan assisted oven, four ring electric hob with extractor fan, fridge/ freezer, and dishwasher. There is space for a washing machine, plinth heating and a combination of tiled and wood-effect laminate flooring. The recently fitted 'Worcester' gas combi boiler is wall mounted and concealed in a cupboard. There is a wood effect Upvc double glazed window to the prep and washing area with a fantastic outlook and a further wood effect Upvc double glazed window and part glazed door to the rear side elevation.

The master bedroom is a good-size, features a fitted wardrobe with storage and sliding mirrored doors and has pleasant views over the landscaped front gardens. The two further bedrooms are generous with space for freestanding furniture. The bathroom has a three-piece suite that comprises of a deep panelled bath with electric shower and screen, a pedestal wash basin and low-level w/c.

The property is also well-insulated throughout and holds a 'c' rated EPC energy efficiency-rating, helping with those pesky bills, the current cost of living and rising energy prices.

The grounds are spacious and have been extensive landscaped with brick paviour to the front aspect creating a terraced garden space with plenty of seating areas. The driveway providing ample off-street parking is finished with an anti-slip surfacing leading to the rear garden.

The private rear garden is also laid to paving in a terrace fashion creating significant outside entertainment and seating space. Its good size offers potential for further development if wanted (Subject to the necessary consents). The property is enclosed by brick walls providing boundaries and there is also gated access behind via a pathway to the valley below and the walking trails to Greenfield.

SUMMERHOUSE / LOG CABIN This lovely and spacious outbuilding is at second fix-stage (meaning there is currently no electric running to the cabins but there are external power-points). It is ideal for recreational use, stay overs or a home office. It has been constructed from timber/wood, a durable rubber roof and guarantee/warranty. Internally insulated and plaster-boarded ready to be finished to your liking.

A pair of white Upvc double glazed French doors open into the main room from where you can relax and enjoy an outlook over your garden.

THE HOLYWELL LIFESTYLE Treffynnon, 'The Lourdes of Wales,' Holywell, has been an established pilgrimage centre and town since the dark ages with the town being a known location as far back as Roman Britain. Rising to significant prowess during the industrial era, the town's manufacturing past can still be seen today in the various mill ponds and preserved remains that dominant the local Greenfield Valley Nature Park, which also hosts the Grade I ruin of the medieval Abaty Dinas Basing / Basingwerk Abbey. The well-preserved St Winifred's Well Shrine & Chapel site itself survived the reformation largely intact owing to direct links to the royal family and King Henry VIII as the building over the well was constructed by Margaret Beaufort, Henry VIII's grandmother!

Today, Holywell has a thriving town centre with several independent traders, a weekly market and four national supermarkets situated in and around the town. Holywell has many other amenities with many situated on the town's High Street serving not only the shopping needs of the people of the town itself, but also those of the surrounding villages. Parts of the centre of the historic market town have been designated as conservation areas and there are often several town events with music and other activities hosted on the high-street throughout the year including a weekly Thursday market. The town has several food outlets including takeaways, gastro-pubs, and Cafés including the Stamford Gate Hotel and Restaurant and the Springfield Hotel, Health Club and Spa.

Holywell Community Hospital provides several outpatient clinical services as well as there being many pharmacies and doctor surgeries within the town.

The town boasts several leisure and lifestyle choices with the Greenfield Valley Nature Reserve supporting an accessible walking route from Holywell Town Hall down onto the former Holywell Railway Branch line and leading as far past Greenfield as the A548 coast road. Walkers can cross this using the former railway embarkment and bridge and from here you can then link up to the North Wales Coastal Path to Flint, Prestatyn and beyond!

Holywell has a well-supported football club with a stadium close to the town centre with the town's swimming club also hosting galas for North Wales at Holywell Leisure Centre's half-Olympic size pool. The community-run Leisure Centre also houses two further swimming pools, squash courts, a gymnasium, dance studio, snooker hall and the town's community library. The centre also runs the tennis courts and all-weather pitch in the adjoining Fron Park which also has a children's play area, skate park, various well-landscaped green-spaces, and Crown-Green Bowling. There is also access to Holywell War Memorial Gardens at the top of Fron Park opposite Holywell Leisure Centre which leads down through to Holywell Town Centre and Tower Gardens beyond.

Thomas Pennant (1726-1798) the naturalist, traveller, writer, and antiquarian lived at Downing Hall near Whitford (a picturesque village just outside Holywell) and The Thomas Pennant Society is one of many active community groups within the Town. There is also the recently-opened Holywell Community Museum which documents the town's history and lays on many historic talks and other social activities.
