Description - Halls are delighted with instructions to offer Gwalia House, Overton on Dee for sale by private treaty.

Gwalia House is an imposing and substantial Grade II listed traditional farmhouse offering some scope for selective modernisation, situated within ground extending to approximately 0.63 acres and boasting a wealth of original features, a range of versatile outbuildings, and excellent unspoilt views of the local landscape, located in a delightful rural setting within easy reach of amenities.

The property, which underwent thorough renovation works in 2016 but could benefit from some selective modernisation, currently comprises, on the ground floor, a Reception Hall, Dining Room, Living Room, Study, and Kitchen/Breakfast Room, together with, to the upper floors, six Bedrooms (two of which enjoy En-Suites and one enjoying a Dressing Room), and a Family Bathroom.

The property also offers a cellar.
