Clivedon Road, Deeside, CH5 4LN

Berry and George Estates formed to make selling and buying your home much easier. The best way to differentiate us from all other estate agents is, we open 7 days a week and we're also available out of hours - it's that simple! We'll provide you with updates when your home is on the market waiting to be sold and then we'll continue to update you once a sale has been agreed.

We do the same as all other estate agents, we just do it that much better. How? Easy, we have better photos, a better more detailed write-up, honest opinion, we're open longer and we have normal down to earth people working with us, just like you! It's really easy to be so much better...all backed up by our fantastic Google reviews.

We completely understand just how stressful selling and buying can be as we too have been there in your shoes. We know that with the right local family business behind you every step of the way throughout this process, you'll see how much easier it is for you when you choose Berry and George Estates to help make your move better.

It's your money at the end of the day, all I try to do is help point you in the right direction - but I'd call Beth 'in-house' Voted Mortgage Broker of the year for the past three years for Free Mortgage Advice, just Google 'LoveMortgages Mold' and read their fabulous reviews, which back this up.

Like most suburban conurbations, Connah's Quay is a place of many and varied housing options, stretching from the traditional red Ruabon brick terraces of the lower town, to the modern and rather splendid detached homes further up the hill.

In between the two, we find Clivedon Road, long enough established to avoid feeling like an interloper but new enough to bring with it the advantages of modern house building methods.

Surrounded by homes of a similar type and vintage, it is part of an established enclave far enough from town to be a quiet backwater but with the nearby Morrison's and its associated shops, near enough to be convenient. The best of both worlds? When we see the sheer quality of the recent scheme of improvements, it begins to seem so.

Although strictly speaking one of a terrace of similar homes, the staggered nature of the design leaves them more resembling a series of semi detached houses, each with a generous garden to the front.

In this case, the majority of the area has been given over to a stylishly laid block paved driveway, allowing space for several vehicles, however clumsily they are manoeuvred while still leaving an area of lawn to break up what could otherwise appear a little stark.

At the top of the drive is the integrated garage with its recently replaced door, providing the storage space every home needs or even, offering somewhere to put the car...

Some people have converted the garage into another room, it can quite simply be done but will probably require planning permission. The good thing is, you don't need to do it now, but if the need arises, you know it can be done,

Opening the door of the brick entrance porch I was immediately surrounded by rich wood panelling. The porch provides ample room for hanging outdoor clothing and quarantining any wet or muddy shoes that have no place further inside the home. If you did convert the garage, you would then put a doorway in here to connect it to the main house.

A semi glazed front door allows us into the inner hallway.

From here the staircase rises in front of us while to the right are a pair of fully glazed doors,
opening into the lounge rather in the manner of Carson ushering Lord Grantham in for dinner.

This impression is short lived however, as we step into a thoroughly modern room where the obviously high quality wood laminate floor from the hallway continues. The space is kept bright and airy courtesy of the large picture window overlooking the front lawn and manages to swallow one of the vast corner settees that are so popular today.

The rear of the room has been opened up to let you move through into the dining area where thankfully, we find space for the sort of table where the extended family can eat together, without enduring any unseemly clashing of elbows.

The back wall of the dining room is almost entirely taken up by a set of patio doors opening (surprisingly enough) onto the sheltered patio, laid to very attractive Indian stone. This charming sun trap is positioned to make the most of the dying rays of the afternoon and looks keen to indulge in the summer BBQs that such a welcoming home is sure to encourage.

Moving back into the hall and past the staircase with its handy storage beneath, we pass into what was originally the dining room but which has morphed into somewhere where small children can do what small children do, while remaining under Mum, or Dads, watchful eye as they labour in the adjacent kitchen through the connecting archway.

This layout was chosen to fit the specific needs of the current owners but is something that could be easily and cheaply altered should your own requirements be different. For example, the wall between here and the present dining room is of a studded construction and its removal would open up a huge space incorporating the two together. That's the thing with houses, one size rarely fits all but here, alteration is a simple matter, so even if it does not suit you now, it so easily could.
Stepping down into the kitchen we find a delightfully bright and welcoming space that also happens to be equipped with everything you could wish for.

Immaculately fitted units line three of the walls and incorporate virtually every labour saving device known to mankind, all laid out with a great deal of thought having been given to practical ergonomics, where everything falls readily to hand. However, should the chef feel the need for help, there is ample space for extra bodies to scuttle about and to do so without feeling the need to kill one another, which must be seen as a good thing.

A side door gives access to the patio, making the serving al fresco meals a doddle. In one corner of the lawn sits a raised bed, which I am reliably informed, contains a remarkably productive series of rhubarb plants, yielding numerous cuttings per season. So if your digestion is giving you trouble...

Returning indoors and climbing the stairs we turn to the front of the home to address the smallest bedroom. It has been designed for a brilliant use of what space there is, with a baby changing station placed on the raised section above the staircase and directly alongside a cot. This makes the perfect nursery where the attention to detail is typical of everything that has been done in the home. Should there be no baby however, this arrangement could also lend itself equally well to a home office or hobby room.

The opposite end of the landing reveals the family bathroom, fully tiled in practical white throughout and with a contrasting dark wood laminate floor, this offers a suite of a pedestal hand basin, lavatory and a rather decadent looking centre filling bath with an electric rain shower above.

Adjacent to here, the first of the double bedrooms offers ample space for the bed and any accompanying bedside cabinets along with various items of free standing furniture. It is helped a little in this regard by the sizeable fitted cupboard offering additional hanging space and also housing the Worcester gas combi boiler.

Finally, overlooking the front of the home we have the principal bedroom. This is slightly larger still and provides enough room for a massive chest of drawers with further storage being available in what I initially thought was a huge fitted wardrobe, but in fact was a free standing unit that by happy coincidence fitted into a recessed cupboard perfectly.

All in all this is a real find. Few homes offer this degree of character, flexibility of accommodation, quality of refurbishment, desirability of location and all at the same time. Catering for the needs of a family it ticks many boxes. If the children are young it is quiet and safe from traffic while offering sufficient play space within the home. If they are older, both primary and secondary schools are within walking distance and if they are older still they should no longer be at home.... For childless families it offers luxury living indoors, and the sort of relaxing garden that makes al fresco living almost compulsory. For the needs of the commuter it is close to all major transport links and in short, demands to be seen.
