Description

A semi detached country cottage, dating back to 1854, built in an elevated rural location overlooking the village of Cymau, with panoramic views of Cheshire and beyond.

Externally the property has a decked balcony area with timber balustrading and a sun terrace providing complete privacy, the remainder of the garden is laid to lawn with open fields adjacent. The front garden has a large parking and turning area and there is a gently sloping paddock with stable block. There is planning permission for a proposed extension to the rear of the property to provide a master bedroom with bathroom en-suite. The accommodation briefly comprises Entrance Vestibule, Kitchen/Dining Hall, First Floor Living Room, Dining Room, Master Bedroom with En-Suite Shower, 2 further Bedrooms and a family Bathroom.

To the front of the property is a level hardstanding parking area with lighting, in front of which the land slopes away to the paddock and stable block area.

Planning Permission: Plans were approved by Flintshire County Council in March 2006 for a proposed first floor extension to the rear elevation of the property to incorporate a large fourth bedroom with en-suite bathroom facilities and pitches for the front three dormer windows. (Plans available for inspection).
