Welcome To 3 Argoed Hall

There are certain homes that offer more than just beautiful accommodation  they offer a truly unique lifestyle, and Number 3 Argoed Hall is undoubtedly one of them.

Originally built in 1864 and set in one of the most commanding positions overlooking the Dee Valley, Argoed Hall is a magnificent Victorian residence of rare character and distinction. Thoughtfully converted into just four exclusive homes, it combines heritage, privacy and an extraordinary sense of setting in equal measure.

Number 3 occupies arguably the finest position within the hall, with many principal rooms enjoying far-reaching views across the landscaped gardens and dramatic valley beyond. Beautifully restored by the current owners, the home retains an abundance of original features including ornate wall panelling, decorative coving, parquet flooring and elegant period detailing, all carefully preserved and enhanced to create a seamless blend of character and comfort.

An Insight to Life

"When we first arrived at Argoed Hall, we knew immediately it was somewhere special. The sweeping driveway, mature redwood trees and grand Victorian architecture create a wonderful sense of arrival, while the gated entrance with smartphone intercom provides reassurance and security. It's a home where we've always felt both private and safe.

During our time here, we have invested significantly in restoring and enhancing the property while respecting its heritage. Original wall panelling, parquet flooring and decorative coving have all been carefully restored, while the installation of log burners has brought warmth and atmosphere to the reception rooms. We also added bespoke fitted wardrobes and reconfigured the bathroom to create a far more spacious layout. The freestanding bath, positioned to enjoy views across the gardens, has become one of our favourite places to relax.

One of the things we've loved most is the balance between grandeur and comfort. The house is full of character and history, yet it feels incredibly welcoming and easy to live in. The changing views through the large windows provide a beautiful backdrop throughout the year, while the staircase balcony has become a favourite spot for morning coffee overlooking Castell Dinas Brân and the surrounding valley.

The grounds are another huge part of what makes life here so enjoyable. The communal gardens offer plenty of space to relax and socialise, while still maintaining a real sense of privacy. At the end of the driveway, the canal provides wonderful walks right from the doorstep, with the Aqueduct and surrounding countryside waiting to be explored.

Despite its peaceful setting, Argoed Hall is remarkably convenient. We regularly enjoy days out in Chester, while the beaches and coastal towns of North Wales, including Conwy and Llandudno, are easily accessible. Liverpool and Manchester airports are also within comfortable reach for travel further afield.

What we will miss most is the unique combination of character, tranquillity and location. Argoed Hall has been a privilege to call home, and we hope the next owners enjoy this special place as much as we have."
