This lovely stone cottage, ideal for a family, couples or friends, is set in the heart of the beautiful North Wales countryside, in an elevated and secluded position on the edge of the Clocaenog Forest and with breathtaking views to the Aran, Berwyn and Cadair Idris mountain ranges. It is an ideal base for walking, cycling, riding or fishing, with fishing rights on Upper Dee included and a fishing lake walking distance away. There are historic market towns and villages all around, and nearby places of interest include Ffynnon Sara (Sara’s Well), Dinas Melin-y-Wig (Hillfort) and the Celtic Cross located at the old Church in Derwen, about a mile away. The historic market town of Ruthin, with its cafes, shops, art and craft centre and heritage gaol, is 8 miles away, while the stunning town of Llangollen is 16 miles away, where you will find walks and water sports, a canal offering horse-drawn rides and cruises to the famous Pontcysyllte aqueduct, an ancient Abbey and castle, a heritage railway and waterside cafes and pubs.
Converted with space, light and a convenient layout in mind, this high-quality cottage has beautiful features including vaulted ceilings, oak beams, timber flooring and refurbished Victorian wrought-iron beds – not to mention locally sourced materials, super-insulation and triple glazing. The entrance opens to a high-vaulted reception hallway with an open-tread staircase, leading to a living room with a wood burner – perfect for snuggling up after a day’s walking, riding or cycling. The kitchen/diner is spacious and bright, will all amenities necessary for cooking and eating delicious meals, and also on this floor are a useful WC and a generously sized king-size bedroom. On the first floor you will find two handsome bedrooms with vaulted ceilings, one a king-size with an en-suite bathroom, and the other a twin (king-size on request) with an en-suite shower room.
The cottage is set in its own generous and private lawn garden, which is not directly overlooked and has views towards the Aran mountain range in south Snowdonia. It is located next to a smallholding with sheep, chickens (free-range eggs available), horses, dogs and cats. The garden has a patio with table and chairs for six, a parasol and a charcoal BBQ, while a slate pathway leads to the end of the garden and a second sitting area with a picnic table, again boasting superb views.
