The sale of The Cwm is a genuinely rare opportunity to acquire a secluded yet accessible country property, located in its own private valley on the eastern flanks of the Clwydian Hills, all of which are set within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The Cwm comprises a detached principally stone and slate dwelling house requiring a comprehensive scheme of refurbishment, a small range of traditional stone and slate outbuildings and pasture and rough grazing, all of which extends to 60 acres or thereabouts occupying the upper reaches of a small valley (Cwm) which affords an idyllic rural setting and privacy. (Definition of Cwm:- A steep sided, ball shaped hollow or basin found on the side of a mountain)

The popular and much sought after village of Llanarmon Yn Ial is approximately 1 mile in distance which offers a thriving community run public house, as well as a community shop, a church and primary school. The market towns of Ruthin and Mold are both within 6 miles distance and offer a wider range of retail, recreational and educational facilities, while the city of Chester is approximately 18 miles away and with international airports at Liverpool and Manchester accessible within the hour. The sale of The Cwm comes to the market for the first time in over 80 years and is a rare and possibly unique opportunity to acquire such a property with privacy and a setting that can only truly be appreciated upon inspection.

The Dwelling

Cwm Farmhouse is centrally situated within the property with views across the Alyn Valley. Mainly constructed of stone beneath a slate roof with a more modern flat roof extension, the 3 bedroomed accommodation requires a comprehensive scheme of modernisation and refurbishment (and an opportunity for extension subject to planning consent). Briefly the accommodation includes:-

Ground Floor – Entrance Porch, 3 Reception Rooms, Kitchen

First Floor – 3 bedrooms, Bathroom

The room dimensions and layout are shown on the enclosed floorplan.

Outbuildings

Situated to the rear of the property are 3 small ranges of principally traditional stone and/or brick and slate outbuildings, providing general storage with the larger of the stone barns offering potential for conversion to other uses, potentially to include an annexe or holiday let (subject to planning). The details are shown on the enclosed floor plan.

The Land

The farm extends in total to almost 60 acres all of which is contained within a single ring fence forming the upper parts of a valley running off the eastern flanks of the Clwydian Hills. The floor of the valley comprises a number of pasture enclosures which rises gently in a westerly direction, whilst the sides and rear of this “U” shaped valley rise steeply and comprise areas of rough grazing etc. The land includes a number of mature trees and marsh areas all of which provide further amenity benefits to the property.

If a bidder is acting on behalf of a limited company, similar documents will be required, together with written authority from the company itself. No cash deposits will be accepted.

Guide Price

An indication of the sellers current minimum acceptable price at auction. The guide price or range of guide prices is given to assist prospective purchasers in deciding whether or not to pursue a purchase. It is usual, but not always the case that a provisional reserve range is agreed between the seller and the auctioneers at the start of marketing. As the reserve is not fixed at this stage and can be adjusted by the seller at any time up to the day of auction, in the light of interest shown during the marketing period, a guide price is issued. This guide price can be shown in the form of a minimum and maximum price range within which an acceptable sale price (reserve) would fall. A guide price is different to a reserve price (see separate definition) Both the guide price and the reserve price can be subject to change up to and including the day of the auction.

Reserve Price

The sellers minimum acceptable price at auction and the figure below which the auctioneer cannot sell. The reserve price is not disclosed and remains confidential between the seller and the auctioneer. Both the guide price and the reserve price can be subject to change up to and include the day of the auction.
