Whitchurch Road, Bangor-On-Dee.

A substantially extended period Welsh farmhouse now offering over 3,000 sq ft of elegantly presented living accommodation alongside a detached garage/store, and excellent gardens which extend to just under an acre and feature a pool with jetty; idyllically situated in a rural position close to Bangor-On-Dee.

Description - Halls are delighted with instructions to offer The Orchards, Raggs Hill, near Bangor-On-Dee, for sale by private treaty.

The Orchards began life as a traditional Welsh farmhouse and retains many vestiges of its heritage, including a charming double-front facade, however, it has over the years, been significantly extended and improved, to now boast over 3,000 sq ft of flexibly arranged and elegantly presented living space.

The property nestles within generous gardens which extend, in all, to around 0.84ac and which have, as per the cottage, been lovingly nurtured to now serve as a delightful external accompaniment to the home.

Situation - The Orchards occupies a pleasant rural position against a backdrop of open fields which unfolds to south across a maze of unspoilt countryside. 

Despite its rural location, the property retains a useful proximity to the nearby village of Bangor-On-Dee, which provides a range of day to day amenities, including school and village shop, with the towns of Ellesmere, Whitchurch, and Malpas all enjoying a broader array of facilities, and the county centre of Wrexham situated some 5 miles to the north west.

The Property - From the front, an Entrance Porch with space for coats and boots leads into  the historic element of the home, with an interconnecting Dining Room, Sitting Room, and Office providing a versatile array of rooms which could be utilised for a variety of onwards usages, all of which boast a charming range of original features, with exposed ceiling timbers and quarry-tiled floors.

From the Dining Room, doors lead respectively into a bright and airy Garden Room which exits onto an enclosed rear courtyard, and into a recently modernised Kitchen comprising a selection of stylish base and wall units set before an exposed brick inglenook housing a log burner, which segues on to a useful Utility Room.

Glazed doors allow access from the Utility Room through to a substantial single-storey extension, this beginning at a wonderfully sociable space presently utilised as a Lounge, which features a full wall of glazing overlooking the gardens, and from where the extension proceeds into an internal hallway off of which can be found two spacious Bedrooms, one with accompanying Dressing Room and each with their own En-Suites, alongside a further Utility/Laundry Room.

Stairs rise to a first floor landing with a central window offering elevated views across the countryside beyond, and from where doors open into two further bedrooms, one benefitting from an En-Suite. A family Bathroom serves Bedroom Four and the needs of the wider home.

The Orchards also boasts a useful Cellar which provides around 200 sq ft of further storage space.

Gardens - The gardens are a particularly notable feature of the property and extend, in all, to around 0.84ac whilst enjoying a desirable southerly aspect which overlooks the unspoilt landscape beyond. 

Nestled within the crook of the property is a delightful decked courtyard accessible directly from three rooms of the home and representing an ideal space for outdoor dining and entertaining. 

The courtyard flows on to an expanse of well maintained lawn interspersed with a range of attractive floral beds and mature trees, with a path that winds on to a timber jetty overlooking a natural pond - the pond has, in previous years, been stocked, making it ideal for fishing enthusiasts.

Garage/Workshop - A parking area situated to the front of the property leads past a large garage/workshop (approx. 860 sq ft) with vehicular and general storage space before culminating at further parking. 

For those with multi-generational needs, the garage may offer scope for conversion (LA consent permitting).
