Nant Y Ffrith, Bwlchgwyn, Wrexham, LL11

A charming stone-built Welsh cottage in an idyllic, elevated setting with far-reaching views and situated in approximately 2.79 acres.

Description

Cae Meheryn is a charming four bedroom stone-built Welsh cottage, set within about 2.79 acres of land, occupying a wonderful rural position with far-reaching views across the surrounding countryside. The property offers excellent lifestyle, smallholding and equestrian potential.

The property has evolved over the current owners' remarkable 40-year tenure and has been thoughtfully extended to create a home that successfully combines period character with modern living. The kitchen extension was completed in 1994, incorporating the original shippon, whilst the striking oak-framed garden room and sitting room were added later, creating a seamless link between the traditional cottage and the contemporary extension.

The front door opens into a welcoming entrance hall. To the right lies the kitchen, fitted with a range of units centred around an island. There is ample space for informal dining or everyday family living. The kitchen flows naturally into the impressive oak-framed garden room, currently used as a dining room, a light-filled space with stone flooring and glorious views over the gardens and countryside beyond.

Double doors lead through to the delightful sitting room, a beautifully designed reception room with a wood-burning stove and doors opening directly onto the garden. The combination of natural light, views and access to the outside provides a superb setting for entertaining and family gatherings.

Also located off the hall is a study with a wood-burning stove, which in turn links to a ground floor bedroom. This versatile room could equally serve as a snug, home office or additional reception room depending on requirements. A ground floor bathroom, separate WC and useful rear hall/boot room with external access complete the ground floor accommodation.

Upstairs, the accommodation is arranged around a natural light-filled landing with fitted bookshelves. The principal bedroom enjoys a double aspect and lovely rural views, together with a dressing area and en suite bathroom. There are two further double bedrooms, one of which benefits from an en suite WC.


Gardens and Grounds
Cae Meheryn occupies an enviable and private setting, approached via a driveway which curves round to a generous parking area.

The attractive stone façade is complemented by a pedestrian pathway leading from the lane to the front door. The gardens are predominantly laid to lawn and are enclosed by established hedging and mature trees. Well-stocked flower and shrub borders surround the garden room and provide seasonal colour throughout the year.

Adjoining the house is a useful store room, in addition to two separate storage sheds providing excellent practical space.

The property extends to about 2.7 acres in total and includes individual paddocks which would be ideal for buyers with equestrian interests. The surrounding area offers excellent hacking opportunities, while the land would also suit those seeking a smallholding, hobby farming or other lifestyle pursuits. A substantial area of hardstanding provides useful storage and would be ideal for horseboxes, trailers or recreational vehicles.
