Set in a secluded rural valley about 6.5 miles from Ruthin, this former farmhouse and converted barn sits within informal gardens of roughly 0.5 acre with an additional nearby 0.5 acre paddock. The property combines period character—exposed beams and an inglenook fireplace—with large modern living spaces including two conservatories and an open-plan kitchen/living/dining area.
The house offers versatile accommodation across very large floorspace (about 3,008 sq ft): a principal lounge with inglenook, a day lounge/snug, ground-floor bedroom with shower room and utility, two first-floor bedrooms and a family bathroom, plus a lower-ground cellar for storage. Practical features include oil-fired central heating and double glazing installed post-2002, and gated off-street parking.
This is a home for buyers who value privacy, outdoor space and character. The informal gardens and separate paddock suit small-scale equestrian use, hobby farming or generous family gardens. There are three wood-burning stoves and several sun-facing conservatory rooms that enhance the feeling of light and warmth in living areas.
Notable practical points: the property is remote with average mobile signal and very slow broadband, making it less suitable for heavy home-working without improvement. The stone walls are understood to have no insulation (as built), so further thermal upgrades may be needed to reduce fuel use and improve comfort. Council tax is on the higher side (Band G). Heating is oil-fired rather than gas, which may affect running costs and future fuel sourcing decisions.
