Hanmer, Whitchurch, Wrexham, SY13

A characterful family home in a stunning rural location.

Description

The Dukes Mews is a charming family home set within a stunning rural position. The house combines warmth and character with a wonderful sense of space, and its setting provides privacy whilst remaining ideally suited to modern family living.

A charming barn conversion which has been thoughtfully enhanced during the current ownership, including the creation of a generous open-plan kitchen, dining and living space, and the addition of a two-storey extension, resulting in a practical and versatile layout.

The accommodation is arranged over two floors. On the ground floor, an open-plan dining area flows through to the sitting room, complete with a wood-burning stove and bi-folding doors opening onto the terrace. A farmhouse-style kitchen complemented by a boot room, laundry/WC and a separate snug, also with a wood burner, provides a more intimate reception space, while an additional room, currently used as a study, offers flexibility as a fourth bedroom if required.

On the first floor, there is a well-proportioned principal suite with an en suite shower room and walk-in wardrobe. In addition there are two further double bedrooms together with a family bathroom. Exposed timbers are a consistent feature throughout the house, contributing to its character and warmth, with views enjoyed across the surrounding countryside from all aspects.

The property is approached via a quiet country lane, leading to a private driveway and parking area. Set centrally within its plot, The Dukes Mews is surrounded by established gardens bounded by mature hedging and trees, with a stunning rural outlook across the Kenyon Estate.

The front garden provides an ideal space for al fresco dining and features a pizza oven, making it well suited for entertaining. There is a natural pond that attracts a variety of wildlife, with a terrace positioned to overlook it. The rear garden is predominantly laid to lawn, offering a simple and peaceful setting to enjoy the surrounding countryside. There is also an external storeroom, along with a shed benefitting from electricity, which could be utilised as a studio.
