Llandynan, Nr Llangollen.

A comprehensively renovated and particularly charming stone-built period country cottage boasting sympathetically presented living accommodation, generous gardens, and a range of versatile outbuildings, idyllically situated in a commanding elevated position on the edge of a rural hamlet with panoramic views across the rugged Llantysillio valley.

Description - Halls are delighted with instructions to offer Castell in Llandynan for sale by private treaty.

Castell is a traditional three-bedroom detached stone cottage of particular charm which has recently benefitted from a comprehensive scheme of improvement and modernisation works to now provide around 1550 sq ft of sympathetically presented and stylishly appointed living accommodation arranged across two generous floors. This comprises, on the ground floor, an Entrance Porch/Boot Room and WC, Kitchen/Breakfast Room, Dining Room, Larder/Store, Living Room, and Study/Family Room, together with three first-floor Bedrooms (the Master benefitting from and En-Suite) and a Family Bathroom.

Castell is enviably positioned within generous gardens which extend, in all, to around 0.21 acres, with the property occupying a commanding elevated position with far reaching views afforded to the south across the rugged landscape of the Welsh hills. The gardens have, again, been subject to significant improvement and presently provide areas of lawn interspersed with, and bordered by, maturing floral and herbaceous beds, alongside a patio area ideally situated to capitalise on the panorama beyond.

Positioned within the gardens are a range of versatile outbuildings, most notably a detached Office, this situated alongside the driveway, that's been fully insulated to offer a wonderful working-from-home space but which could, if desired, readily serve as guest accommodation. Further to the Office are a detached Workshop of predominately timber construction and a brick-built outbuilding - the "Bothy" - offering scope for conversion to serve a variety of usages.

Situation - Castell nestles in a magnificently rural position against a backdrop of Maesyrychen Mountain, with the River Dee meandering through the valley floor below and, as such, affords endless possibilities for walking, cycling, running, and hacking, whilst retaining a convenient proximity to the nearby town of Llangollen which provides a range of day to day amenities, including Schools, Supermarket, convenience Stores, Public Houses, and Restaurants. The county centres of Wrexham and Chester are positioned to the north, with Shrewsbury to the south, all of which boast a comprehensive array of facilities of all kinds, including cultural and artistic attractions.

It is advised that viewers continue past the property and turn around when the track levels, to park facing down.

Positioned next to the Dining Room is a welcoming Living Room with bay-window facing to the south and framing the rugged landscape beyond and a centrally positioned multi- fuel burner which affords the room a particularly cosy ambience, ideal for winter nights, this alongside a further door which leads into a versatile Office/Family Room situated at the eastern aspect of the home and offering excellent potential for a variety of usages, including as a fourth Bedroom, with the room benefitting from recessed storage to the rear.

Stairs rise to a first floor landing where access is provided into three well proportioned Bedrooms, with the Master enjoying an adjoining En-Suite Shower Room and all rooms boasting elevated views over the surrounding hills.

The gardens are a singularly impressive feature of this glorious home and enjoy a desirable southerly aspect across the dramatic landscape of the Welsh hills, which rise in elegant formation from the River Dee and offer a remarkable vista in whichever season they're viewed. The gardens have been transformed by the current vendors to now provide a wonderful accompaniment to the property with areas of lawn and floral beds joined by an attractive paved patio area so positioned to fully realise the views beyond.

The gardens nestle, to the north, against Maesyrychen Mountain, this providing open-access walking which connects to a range of country lanes and public footpaths that meander through this imposing landscape.
