Archway, Mold, Flintshire, Clwyd, CH7

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 run 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.

Look, 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.

Suburbia - the standard dream of the British family! But why should most of the homes available to families in this Nirvana be merely 'standard,' when with a little imagination they can become the extensions of our individuality that we would wish them to be, as shown by examples such as this one.

The principal tenet of suburban living is that you should be close enough to use the facilities of the nearby town centre with ease and convenience but, far enough away to be quiet and untroubled by whatever goings on amuses the inner city dwellers.

A perfect distance from the centre is where we find Archway, it being an easy walk even when carrying shopping or, if battling winter storms a short drive or if you're flash, a very affordable taxi ride. On an established estate filled with homes of various designs and appearance, each manages to feel individual, which is important!

To the front of the home is a broad driveway offering additional parking, which narrows between this and the house next door as it passes between then en route to the detached garage at the rear. Beside the drive the front garden is a mass of colour, filled with many and various flowering shrubs set into shaped beds and made all the more attractive by the paved pathways running around them.

A canopy style porch offers protection for both the front door and the adjacent lounge window. The front door is in the style of a 1960s wooden item but is in fact, a modern composite version featuring all the insurance company-friendly locking systems that they so often insist upon.

Stepping into the bright outer lobby there is a useful cupboard to one side, housing all the outdoor coats and shoes you don't want trailing over your carpets, before a fully glazed inner door allows access into the home itself.

Through here we emerge into a large open plan space where the stairs rise in front of us. The first thing to strike you is the flooring, appearing virtually indistinguishable from light pine planking, and very attractive it is too. The room, while spacious enough to contain any combination of furniture you care to throw at it, still manages to feel cosy and welcoming, helped in no small measure by the faux marble fireplace and the electric 'log' fire it contains.

From the lounge we pass through an archway into the dining area where joyfully, we find somewhere worthy of the title and well able to accommodate a sensible family sized table along with any additional free standing furniture you may choose. This room is kept brightly lit thanks to the sliding patio doors overlooking the rear garden and which when open, give it an almost continental feel, which is most appealing if you like the continent!

A space saving folding door from here opens into the kitchen and neat as this is, it seems hardly necessary where space (or lack of it) is unlikely to ever be an issue...

The kitchen is in excellent condition though evidently not exactly new, but perfectly serviceable for any buyer preparing to place their own stamp on their new home. Or, if you are not a slave to fashion and favour function over form, there is nothing intrinsically wrong with it and it would see many years of active service yet.

In its present form there is a bank of high and low level cupboards with accompanying work tops along one long wall, containing an integrated electric cooker and the sink and drainer unit, while the opposite wall plays host to a slightly shorter run of low level units and work tops, these concealing the integrated fridge and freezer along with various storage cupboards. In one corner, another set of folding doors reveal the under-stair void, housing the easily accessible gas combi boiler and providing somewhere for all the "stuff" that every home has, but no one wants on show.

Hang on! I hear you cry, where is the washing machine? Don't panic, you'll not be toddling down to the launderette every wash day because it and the accompanying tumble drier are in the garage - well the plumbing is, as these are not included in the final sale price, unless discussed with the owner prior to sale.

Outside the back door the rear garden is a riot of colour, where a mix of block paved and gravel paths weave through the lawn towards a raised wooden structure overlooking everything. Octagonal in shape, this may have been a potting shed at one time but has fallen into disrepair, though not yet beyond help and a little TLC could restore it to its former glory. To one side of the garden and accessed via a door facing the lawn, the garage is fully equipped with power and light, making an ideal laundry, or workshop, or man/woman cave. As I said earlier, it's your choice.

Back indoors, climbing up the stairs comes as a bit of a surprise. I don't usually comment on a home's décor because this is something that almost all new buyers alter to suit their own tastes but I feel that I must mention it here: it's green and I mean GREEN. Like you have fallen into a vat of lettuce and cucumber smoothie type of green. So green in fact, that the light from the landing window produces an undeniable kryptonite glow shining into the corner of the lounge below, so this is perhaps not the home for Lois and Superman.

But love it or loathe it, it's only paint and can be easily changed, so pay it little attention and concentrate on the home itself, which is well worth the effort......and I've got to say, I love the green, in fact this home is full of vibrant colours, which makes a change to the dull colours of today!

Turning towards the front of the home, we come to the Achilles Heel of all three bed semis, the smallest bedroom although thankfully, this one does not suffer from the stairwell intruding into the floor space, thus enabling it to make the most of its limited dimensions. There is ample room for a single bed, though anything more than a modest wardrobe to accompany this would be asking a lot of it. However, it is currently set up as an office, and makes a great use of the space in doing so.

Opposite here and overlooking the rear garden we find the bathroom, which is refreshingly spacious and offers a bank of unitary storage cupboards, incorporating the lavatory and hand basin and a traditional bath featuring a folding glass side screen and electric shower above. What sets it apart is the amount of space, allowing you to towel yourself off without ever bruising an elbow.

Adjacent to here is the first of the double bedrooms, which like the bathroom, offers a great deal more room than I anticipated. While leaving plenty of free floor space it manages to accommodate twin bedside cabinets with the double bed, a large free standing wardrobe and full sized chest of drawers.

And finally, we come to the principal bedroom that overlooks the front garden. In something of a recurring theme this is again bigger than I thought it would be, with space for a huge free standing wardrobe, twin bedside cabinets by the double bed and a double sized chest of drawers. That it can contain these while leaving space to play badminton** should you want to, speaks volumes and means that whatever your needs, this is a room that will meet them.

** you can't really play badminton in here, so please do not bring rackets on the viewing to test this theory out, thank you!

All in all this is a brilliant chance for someone keen to get themselves into Mold, with its burgeoning social and restaurant scene along with its convenient location for commuting to nearby centres of employment. The home is in excellent overall condition and while some aspects of it may be seen as ripe for modification, there is nothing beyond the talents of an average DIYer and best of all, this could be yours for a price unlikely to frighten the horses. The property market in Mold has bucked the trend in recent years with homes changing hands quickly and I have little doubt this will remain available for long, so you know what to do...
