Description

Nestled in a tranquil location, this former vicarage offers a unique opportunity for renovation and investment within its expansive grounds of approximately 4.5 acres. Surrounded by the stunning landscapes of the Clwydian Range Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, this property combines potential with picturesque surroundings, making it an appealing project for those looking to create their dream home or an income-generating retreat. The residence features four spacious bedrooms and a variety of adaptable living spaces that currently encompass three reception rooms, a country-style kitchen, and an inviting dining area with vaulted ceilings and exposed beams. The main reception rooms are generously sized, benefitting from abundant natural light and scenic views over the gardens. These areas could easily be reconfigured to enhance flow and functionality according to modern living standards. Characterized by its traditional stone construction, the home retains many original features such as decorative cornicing, arched doorways, and fireplaces, all while integrating some contemporary upgrades like solar panels and a new central heating system. While well-maintained, significant renovation opportunities remain for those wishing to further modernize or expand upon the existing layout. The property also includes a detached garage along with several outbuildings situated in a walled courtyard at the rear. These structures are ripe for conversion into additional accommodation or creative studio space, subject to necessary planning permissions. This flexibility adds considerable investment potential to the property. The grounds themselves are a highlight, combining mature gardens with productive land suitable for gardening or small-scale farming. An adjacent paddock provides additional options for equestrian use or as grazing land. The outdoor spaces include expansive lawns decorated with fruit trees and established hedging, as well as various terraces ideal for outdoor entertaining. Conveniently located just five miles from Mold and within easy reach of major transport routes like the A55 Expressway, this property offers both seclusion and accessibility. The nearby town of Mold boasts a range of amenities including shops, restaurants, schools, and cultural venues like Theatr Clwyd. This former vicarage not only presents an inviting residence but also holds significant potential for enhancement in one of North Wales’ most desirable rural settings—a promising prospect for both homeowners and investors alike seeking to capitalize on its unique attributes.
