Summary - Garneddwen, Lixwm, Holywell, Flintshire, CH8 CH8 8JS
5 bed 2 bath Detached
Substantial period home with large plot and outbuildings in tranquil farmland.
Grade II listed 16th-century farmhouse with important architectural features
Garneddwen Fawr is a rare Grade II listed 16th-century farmhouse set in peaceful farming countryside with wide views to the Clywdian Mountains and Halkyn Common. The house retains substantial historic fabric — a 17th-century timber screen, inglenook fireplace, exposed beams and a distinctive Halkyn marble doorstep — providing an authentic foundation for a sympathetic restoration. The plot is very large and includes a former bakehouse, double garage and external storeroom, offering scope for outbuilding reuse or ancillary projects (subject to listed-building and planning constraints).
The accommodation spans approximately 2,974 sq ft with four to five bedrooms, two bathrooms and a number of reception rooms arranged over multiple storeys. The layout and wealth of original features will appeal to buyers seeking countryside character and historic interest; the property is offered chain-free and sits on a private drive about half a mile from Lixwm with straightforward access to Holywell, Mold and the North Wales Expressway.
Important practical points: the house is Grade II listed and that status will affect repair, alteration and extension options and may increase maintenance costs. The property is EPC exempt. Local services are in a remoter farming community; broadband is fast but mobile signal is average. Council tax is described as expensive and the wider area has pockets of high deprivation, which may influence resale in certain markets.
This is a specialist purchase for someone who values historic architecture and countryside seclusion and is prepared to manage listed-building requirements and ongoing restoration/maintenance. For the right buyer it offers a distinctive rural home with significant heritage interest and flexible outbuildings on a substantial plot.
