POPULAR LOCATION | DETACHED COTTAGE | SUMMER HOUSE | WORKSHOP | OFF ROAD PARKING

William Gleave are delighted to present Woodburn Cottage, a truly charming two-bedroom detached cottage, nestled within the ever-popular residential area of Carmel, Holywell.

Believed to have originally been former stables, the cottage was converted around the 1940’s and has been lovingly maintained ever since, retaining a wealth of character including high ceilings and beautifully kept wooden floorboards. The property offers a rare combination of countryside charm, privacy and practicality, with the added bonus of stunning views across the Dee Estuary.

Approached via gated entrance and a sweeping driveway, Woodburn Cottage sits proudly on Carmel Road, enjoying a peaceful setting with ample room for multiple vehicles.

The gardens wrap around the cottage, offering both privacy and space. One of the standout features is the well-positioned summer house, perfectly placed to capture the panoramic estuary views, providing an idyllic spot for relaxing, reading, or enjoying evening sunsets.

To one side of the property is a delightful courtyard garden, laid with flint underfoot and framed by an attractive stone wall, creating an exceptional outdoor entertaining space that’s ideal for dining and hosting.

In addition, there is a large workshop accessed from the lower end of the driveway, a fantastic addition for hobbies, storage, or potential work-from-home requirements.

The accommodation offers spacious and well-balanced living, filled with natural light throughout.

The modern kitchen is finished in a striking sea blue which beautifully complements the coastal outlook. With Velux windows and a large picture window, the room is flooded with light and offers a wonderful place to cook and eat while enjoying the view.

Also on the ground floor is a useful bathroom/utility room, providing excellent practicality for day-to-day living.

The living room is a lovely bright space, featuring high ceilings and a door opening directly onto the courtyard, blending indoor and outdoor living seamlessly.

Stairs rise from the living room to the first floor where you will find two double bedrooms, both benefiting from fitted wardrobes. The rear bedroom provides access to a superb balcony, a truly special feature created by the current owners to fully embrace the incredible Dee Estuary views.


Carmel remains one of Holywell’s most sought-after residential areas, known for its quiet setting and strong community feel, whilst still being within easy reach of local shops, schools and everyday amenities in Holywell town centre. The property also offers excellent commuter links, with the A55 North Wales Expressway easily accessible, connecting to Deeside, Chester and the wider North West, making this a superb location for those needing to travel for work.

Woodburn Cottage is a unique and beautifully presented home, properties of this character and setting are rarely available. Early viewing is highly recommended to appreciate everything this special cottage has to offer.
