Briar Drive, Buckley, Flintshire, CH7 2AN

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 'who's my wife' 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.


What is the classic British home? It surely has to be the three bedroom suburban semi-detached; somewhere the majority of us grew up in and which remains at the heart of the nation. Sadly this popularity can become a poisoned chalice when trying to sell one simply because there are so many available that it becomes difficult to make yours stand out; unless it is one like this.

Finished to a really high standard, this has been fully modernised, leaving a home that is straight from the 21st century but without the often cramped dimensions that accompany many new-builds. And, with features like the economy minded heat pump c/h and its solar panels, remains as future-proof as it is possible to be!!

On a normal looking road in suburbia, we find this far from normal looking house, which has been completely rendered, bringing it right into the 21st Century. To the front, a wide driveway covered in faux block paving provides parking for multiple vehicles, and continues past the side of the house to the rear garden. In front of the home is an area of grass to break up what could otherwise be quite a stark appearance or there will be, when the recently sown seeds get their act together...

Opening the front door it immediately becomes apparent that we are in for a treat, as the solid oak flooring gives a touch of genuine class, which continues into the adjacent lounge through a door to our left.

In the lounge we find a large and airy space, helped in no small measure by the large picture window overlooking the front. The main focal point of the room is provided by the brand new log burner in its attractive black marble effect surround and which will give the room that undeniably cosy feeling, as soon as the weather gets cool enough to warrant using it, which fingers crossed is a long way off!

From the lounge we pass through an arch where the back wall of the room has been removed, and into the dining area with its again brand new patio door opening onto the enclosed rear garden. Refreshingly, this is easily big enough to accommodate a proper family sized dining table and all the accompanying sideboards you may fancy, the dining room I'm talking about, not the garden!! Now, this is quite a rare thing in new-build homes and so, underlines the advantage of choosing an older property, especially one as well refurbished as this. However, this also proves to be so much more than a mere dining room, as it also includes the side facing kitchen from which it is divided by a large breakfast bar.

Stepping past the breakfast bar and onto the solid limestone floor of the kitchen. My Top tip: Don't drop anything in here or you'll be picking it up with a dustpan and brush but on the plus side, it is the ultimate hard wearing surface and looks fabulous.

In here we find ourselves right in the centre of the action surrounded on three sides by top quality fitted units. These have been designed with a great deal of thought and this is shown by the way everything falls readily to hand and by the amount of storage space and food preparation surfaces. The units also manage to house space for all the expected integrated technology that without which we'd probably starve, including the fridge and freezer, washing machine and dishwasher but while doing this, it never feels crowded.

A door from the kitchen takes us back into the hall where we pass the ever useful cupboard beneath the stairs, without which any home would someday disappear beneath a mountain of things that "will come in handy one day" before arriving at the foot of the stairs.

At the top of the stairs is a window that helps keep this home nice and bright.

First up on the landing, we come to the family bathroom, which mirrors the kitchen in the sheer quality of its fittings. A dark ceramic floor contrasts with lighter grey wall tiles, their both being off-set against the stylish black of the heated towel rail and plumbing furniture. The hand basin and lavatory are part of an integrated unit while the 'P' shaped bath has its wider section partitioned off behind a glass screen, which makes a virtual shower cubicle, with a rain forest shower head. .

Adjacent to here is the first of the double bedrooms, a very well proportioned space with ample room for the most extravagant of furniture choices and kept bright and cheerful by the large picture window. In one corner is a big fitted cupboard which houses the hot water tank which in turn is fed from outside heat pump.

Moving towards the front of the home the remaining double bedroom is of a similar size, meaning that even should you favour a king sized bed you will not struggle to accommodate additional free standing furniture. In here, as in all the rooms throughout the home, a great deal of thought has gone into the number and locations of the power sockets, meaning an end to the days of tripping over extension cables when someone wants to use the hair drier...

And finally, we address the elephant in the room. Or rather, the room with insufficient space for even a baby elephant but once again, this home punches above its weight because in here, rather than the pathetic box room so often found, we have a proper bedroom. Alright, you would have problems calling it a double room but for single occupancy, it verges on the luxurious.

In the loft cavity there is a window newly fitted in the gable end should any incoming purchaser want to extend upwards, where much of the necessary preparatory work has been completed. This opens many possibilities; a fourth bedroom, playroom or whatever, it's your choice. What is does do, is give you a home that can be altered to suit the changing needs of a family as it grows - which is often a simpler (not to mention cheaper) proposition than moving.

Outside the patio doors of the dining room there is a continuation of the 'block' paving of the driveway, forming an attractive curved patio area before giving way to what is currently something of a prairie but which should, like the similarly seeded front garden, soon display a verdant swathe of immaculate lawn. That's the plan anyway.... In the far corner of the garden is a very substantial wooden shore shed/workshop fully equipped with power and light and, coming as no surprise considering the standard of the work already carried out, complying with all industry regulations. ,

The heat exchange pump is mounted against the back wall of the kitchen where we also find various power outlets and a fully insulated outdoor tap, removing another worry should the winter take a turn for the worse. Solar panels adorn the roof and offer cheaper electric, and as we move more into electric cars, can only be a good thing. And that is the real mark of this home; everywhere you look the attention to detail is obvious and for any prospective buyer, reassuring.
