Description - Situated in the conservation and heritage village of Cefn Mawr, just an eight-minute walk from the world-famous Pontcysyllte Aqueduct and overlooking the stunning Dee Valley, lies Cefn Mawr Post Office. This substantial property, built in 1898, is being offered to the market due to the retirement of the current owners. Meticulously maintained and improved over the past 24 years, the building offers four potential income streams. It incorporates a one-bedroom lower-floor apartment, a studio apartment, and three further bedrooms within the property. As an added feature, the lower ground floor also contains a storage cellar, a tool room, a walk-in bank vault, and a recently refurbished cinema/entertainment room. This one-of-a-kind property has been designed to provide a spacious family home and a strong income, with further potential for development and increased business opportunities.

The lower ground floor to the left of the property comprises a self-contained one-bedroom apartment with its own access door. This apartment features a kitchen/lounge, a large bedroom, a hallway, and a bathroom with a walk-in shower.
