Richmond Hall is a substantial majestic period Country House which occupies a south facing, private and tranquil position within the Vale of Clwyd with spectacular views of the surrounding countryside. Whilst enjoying a rural setting Richmond Hall is conveniently placed within walking distance of St Asaph and is a short drive from Denbigh both of which offer a comprehensive range of shopping and recreational facilities with private and state schooling. On the recreational front there are country walks along the Clwydian range, several golf courses locally, fishing on the River Clwyd, just 250m away and hunting with the Flint & Denbigh.
The property is set in a lovely position at the northern end of the Vale of Clwyd, just outside the ancient town of St Asaph. Which has the smallest Ancient Cathedral in Britain and is the administrative centre for the Church of Wales.

The impressive and versatile accommodation extends to some 11,300 sqft with Three separate Reception Rooms, Study, Breakfast Kitchen and Utility to the Ground Floor, Five En Suite Double Bedrooms to the First Floor, extensive Lower Ground Floor accommodation incorporating a Kitchen Area and Shower Room. In addition to a Leisure Complex with Gymnasium, Sauna, Changing Rooms, Indoor Pool and Games Room with cocktail bar. The layout of the accommodation has been carefully planned to maximise comfort and convenience whilst at the same time providing attractive and pleasing aspects from each room.
The commercial centre of Chester is only 28 miles away and provides a superb range of shopping and leisure facilities and some excellent schools, including Kings and Queens. The property is very well placed for the A55 trunk road which links North Wales with the North West, as well as regular train services to London from the local stations.
