Derwen, Corwen, LL21

Welcome to Pentre Derwen, an attractive and beautifully presented period property surrounded by 2.7 acres of extensive private gardens and its stone outbuildings which have conversion consents: the potential for multi-generational living and an income from holiday lets. This 5 bedroom, 2 bathroom detached house enjoys an idyllic situation with elevated, far-reaching views across open countryside. Having been completely renovated to an exacting standard the house now offers a stylish, tasteful interior with period detailing and contemporary comfort; seamlessly blending its elegant, late Georgian addition architecture at the front with the vaulted ceilings, exposed timbers and beams of the original farmhouse beyond.

Upon entry, the welcoming central hallway with period staircase accesses bright and airy reception rooms either side, each boasting large fireplaces and sash windows that frame scenic countryside views; continuing to a cloakroom, boot room & laundry and ultimately revealing the heart of the home: a stunning open plan kitchen & dining room featuring a ‘Chalon’ hand-made and painted kitchen and an inglenook with wood burning stove. Upstairs, all the bedrooms are spacious and beautifully decorated. The two, light-filled bedrooms at the front of the property afford dual aspect garden and countryside views and have a luxury hotel-like quality; the master bedroom having an en-suite shower room. The other three bedrooms have exposed timbers and cottage character.

Outside, the property continues to delight the senses with level gardens which have been thoughtfully landscaped and offer a wide selection of mature broad-leaf trees, conifers and shrubs, all surrounded by captivating rural scenery. The multiple outdoor seating areas create a serene, picturesque environment for outdoor living, entertaining or simply relaxing amidst nature. A large pond offers a tranquil environment in which pond-life thrives: toads, frogs, newts and dragonflies are all at home here and the birds, insects, badgers, foxes and other small animals have made these gardens their sanctuary too.

Three stone barns requiring renovation are within the curtilage of the property and two of these have been granted Planning Permission for Conversion: The white barn directly opposite the house for ancillary accommodation and the larger barn alongside for three holiday cottages. The third barn provides flexible opportunities for storage or conversion, subject to necessary consents. Further benefits include a long, private gravel driveway and frontage, which supplies plentiful parking, an air-source heat pump and solar panels for enhanced energy efficiency, water supplied by a bore hole, ultra-fast broadband and three-phase electricity supply. Every aspect of this home has been designed to offer an harmonious blend of character, comfort and an effortless countryside lifestyle.

Garden

The grounds surrounding this property amount to approximately 2.7 acres. They enjoy privacy and outstanding countryside views; encompassing open pasture in the valley below, to the rolling hillside beyond. The gardens are characterised by large swathes of lawn, interspersed with a plethora of mature trees and shrubbery; enclosed by stock-proof fencing as they border grazing land on most sides. The bird song is a constant accompaniment. A large wildlife pond alongside the driveway is a particular feature, enhanced by mature planting including irises, lilies and other attractive marginals. Wildlife enthusiasts will be delighted at the numbers of dragonflies and amphibians and the spectacle of watching swallows skimming the water mid flight to drink.

Garden

There are several seating areas: wide steps from the driveway lead to the front porch with a generous raised frontage with planted borders, whilst shallow terraces alongside the house invite outdoor entertaining thanks to the proximity to the kitchen. A seating area encircled by lavender with a central laburnum tree is a stand out feature and enjoys the most splendid views of all. The paddock at the farthest point could be used to home small livestock; however, the extent and gentleness of the views from this vantage point would perfectly suit shepherd huts or wild camping for those wishing to maximise Pentre Derwen’s income potential, subject to any necessary consents.
