Description

A characterful and picturesquely located two bedroom cottage believed to have been constructed in the early 19th Century. The property was formerly party of the Chirk Castle Estate and is located in both the Clwydian Range and the Dee Valley Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The property has been extensively refurbished by the current owners, including being fully reroofed using reclaimed local Welsh slate for any slates replaced, internal plaster replaced with lime plaster where required and the front porch being repaired with a new oak structure. The property also includes extensive gardens which again have been the subject of extensive improvement, off road parking provision and long ranging views to the east. Internal inspection is essential in order to fully appreciate this rare addition to the sales market.
