Wrexham Road, Holt

Set in a stunning plot of 0.76 acre, located within walking distance of Holt village centre and located at the end of a no through road, a substantial detached bungalow with versatile outbuilding
Comment from Robert Reed of Gascoigne Halman

This is really unusual and most welcome buying opportunity, being located on the edge of Holt village in a large private plot and non estate location, yet within walking distance of the village centre. It is offered for sale for the first time in 23 years.

The key thing to note is that Sunningdale is a detached bungalow, giving it instant rarity value and long term viability. As is true of all bungalows, the accommodation is very flexible.

The bungalow and outbuilding are positioned within a magnificent plot of approximately 0.76 acre. Accordingly, it is an ideal proposition for those looking to downsize to from a larger country property with extensive grounds, yet still desiring seclusion, space and privacy. It is located at the very end of a no-through road. The property is arranged into two main components: the principal residence being the substantial bungalow and also a highly versatile outbuilding. The bungalow itself extends to an impressive 1721 square feet, a size achieved by the present owners undertaking a significant extension around twenty years ago. This expansion created two spectacular dual aspect reception rooms at the rear, both measuring a superb 21 by 15 feet.

Currently utilised as a dining room and a living room, each space features double doors that open directly onto and overlook the principal garden, linking cleverly the inside with the setting.

A third reception room, presently a sitting room, provides even more flexible space, measuring 20 feet by 16. Given its exceptional size, this room presents obvious potential for conversion into a luxurious principal bedroom, with ample scope to incorporate an en-suite facility if desired.

The well-equipped breakfast kitchen offers sufficient space for a table and chairs and links cleverly via double doors to the adjacent dining room. The accommodation is completed by three bedrooms in total, which are served by a modernised wet room. The second key element of this property is the substantial single-storey outbuilding, which measures 631 square feet.

This includes a double garage, a very large utility room, a cloakroom and externally accessed store. While perfectly suited to support a property of this scale, this building also offers considerable potential for adaptation to meet the specific needs of a future owner, whether for ancillary accommodation, a dedicated home office, or a leisure space.

The plot itself provides an exceptional environment. There is ample parking and turning space for a multitude of vehicles. The garden is mainly laid to lawn, interspersed with numerous mature trees, and directly adjoins open countryside, creating a beautiful backdrop and an increased sense of space. A significant benefit of the location is the footpath at the far end of the plot which provides a direct link into Holt Village, making a scenic daily walk to the village centre an effortless possibility.

There is much to love here, not least the fact it is walking distance from one of my favourites café restaurants in the vicinity! Also, with the Wales connection here, I see this as an irresistible chance to utilise my GCSE Grade B Welsh. Yn fy marn i, mae Sunningdale yn eiddo gwych, does dim cymhariaeth!

The A483 major road link is easily reached, enabling straightforward travel to key employment hubs in both North Wales and the North West of England, including easy reach of the Wrexham Industrial Estate and other locations towards the North Wales coast and Liverpool and Manchester for longer commutes.

Beyond the village, residents benefit from a wealth of nearby places of interest. The village is home to the evocative ruins of Holt Castle, and the picturesque surroundings of the River Dee offer opportunities for tranquil country walks and cycling. Further afield, major attractions include the UNESCO World Heritage Site of the Pontcysyllte Aqueduct, the National Trust properties of Erddig Hall and Chirk Castle, and the vibrant attractions of Chester Zoo. This combination of a quaint, well-facilitated village with outstanding connectivity and access to historical sites and leisure activities makes Holt an exceptionally appealing and well-rounded place to live for those seeking a high quality of life.

Directions

From the High Street in Tarporley travel out of the village in the direction of Nantwich and at the end of the High Street turn left onto the A49. At Four Lanes End traffic light cross roads with the Indian restaurant on the right hand side, turn right onto the continuation of the A49 in the direction of Whitchurch. Proceed along this road through the villages of Tiverton and Spurstow and turn right onto the A534 (Wrexham Road). Proceed to the end of the road to the T-junction and take a right turn. Follow the road along passing the 'Bickerton Poacher' on the left hand side.

Carry straight on until reaching the Broxton roundabout where you will continue straight over, taking the second exit and staying on the A534. Follow this road as you pass through the villages of Clutton and Barton. Then a short while after passing the JET petrol station and turn into Farndon village, both on your right hand side, take the next right turn into Holt village. Very soon after this and just as the road bends to the right, take a sharp left turn, into a lane which runs parallel to the main road.

Go to the end of the road and the property will be located on the right hand side, the last property on the lane.
