Llangynhafal, Denbigh

The house stands in a very secluded and partially wooded setting a short distance from a minor road leading between the hamlets of Llangynhafal and Hendrerwydd. It is a highly regarded area nestling within the heart of The Vale of Clwyd a short distance from the lower slopes of The Clwydian Hills and the Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Both hamlets have popular Inns with primary school in Gellifor about 0.75 mile distant and is almost equidistant between the market towns of Ruthin and Denbigh. The area is noted for its many public footpaths and bridleways, some leading up on to The Clwydian Hills and Offas Dyke path.

The house was originally built as the Billiard Hall to a long-demolished country house located nearby. The building was in a state of disrepair until circa 2012 when the current owners purchased it and set about designing a bespoke residence which has retained the essence and individuality of the original building whilst seamlessly extending to both the southern and western elevations to create a spacious and highly desirable residence.

The house is approached via a fine entrance porch laid with 19th century French encaustic tiles and a fanlight window, opening into the reception hall.

The hall is one of the key features of the house being specifically designed to create a feeling of space with a high vaulted ceiling opening to the galleried landing, a beautifully crafted wide staircase with sweeping balustrade and high levels of natural light. It is further complemented by deep ceiling mouldings, the original, fine herringbone wood block floor and brick lined fireplace with an original late 18th century carved wooden surround.

Twin doors open to the drawing room which the owners have been using as their creative studio for their design business and would readily be refurbished to create an elegant living space. It is laid with a solid limed wooden floor and large open fireplace, fitted with a late 18th century wooden surround. Double aspect, the patio doors open out into the garden.

Adjoining is the study with bespoke floor to almost ceiling bookcases, a splendid arched opening to the bay window, beautifully glazed with the original stained glass to the upper lights, having been carefully restored.

The main hall leads through to an inner hallway with cloakroom and a delightful snug with dual aspect, wood burning stove and a fine Georgian fireplace.

The kitchen/family room is an outstanding feature of the house forming part of the large two storey extension to the west. It is designed to enjoy a high degree of natural light with wide bi-fold doors opening to both the garden and patio. The kitchen has a bespoke range of furniture by Cheshire Furniture Company with a beautifully painted finish in Atelier Ellis to the main cupboards and drawers to include a large pantry cupboard and solid oak worktops. A mock chimney breast provides a wide recess for a ‘Smeg’ double width range cooker and there is an impressive central dais/breakfast bar with granite surface and integrated double Belfast sink.

Adjoining is a walk-through pantry that are further fitted with a Neff oven and microwave, utility room and thereafter a side porch/boot room opening to one side of the house.

The first floor is approached over the elegant staircase to a lower and upper landing area with high vaulted ceiling and roof lights to draw light into the centre of the house.

The principal bedroom forms part of the rear extension with a high vaulted ceiling and a full height window to the rear elevation. It provides a pleasing aspect over the gardens and beyond westwards along the Vale towards the north Wales coast. There is a side lobby/dressing area and luxury ensuite shower room.

Luxury family bathroom with a Victoria and Albert bath and sink.

The house stands within mature and private gardens approached over a private and unmade no through lane leading to this and several nearby properties. There is a wide driveway providing parking and thereafter access to either side of the house leading to the mainly west facing gardens.

The gardens have been professional landscaped to complement the mature setting as there are several impressive native trees to the western boundary. There are sheltered patios with herbaceous borders, evergreen Taxus and Hornbeam hedging and informal lawns leading towards a large kitchen garden with raised beds, aluminium framed greenhouse, a white painted bespoke potting shed and a timber framed and panelled workshop.

The property has the ownership of a detached outbuilding specifically built in the early 2000s as a bat roost as the area is noted for rare native bats.
