Derby Road, LL12

Berry and George Estates formed to make selling and buying your home much easier. The best way to differentiate us from all other estate agents is, we open 7 days a week and we're also available out of hours - it's that simple! We'll provide you with updates when your home is on the market waiting to be sold and then we'll continue to update you once a sale has been agreed.

We do the same as all other estate agents, we just do it that much better. How? Easy, we have better photos, a better more detailed write-up, honest opinion, we're open longer and we have normal down to earth people working with us, just like you! It's really easy to be so much better...all backed up by our fantastic Google reviews.

We completely understand just how stressful selling and buying can be as we too have been there in your shoes. We know that with the right local family business behind you every step of the way throughout this process, you'll see how much easier it is for you when you choose Berry and George Estates to help make your move better.

It's your money at the end of the day, all I try to do is help point you in the right direction - but I'd call Beth 'in-house' Voted Mortgage Broker of the year for the past three years for Free Mortgage Advice, just Google 'LoveMortgages Mold' and read their fabulous reviews, which back this up.

Situated in Caergwrle, one of the best equipped Villages in the area, providing virtually anything you could need without the hassle of travelling into any of the nearby towns. It offers 2 pubs, 2 small supermarkets, a butcher, greengrocer, deli, hairdresser, chemist, optician, florist, 3 take-aways, garage....need I go on?

Its twin village of Hope, across the river provides further restaurants, a large medical centre, a highly regarded primary school and probably the best high school in the area.

So you see its location, that one thing that you cannot alter in any home, is as good as you will find and that is before we even get to the home itself, where I almost began running out of superlatives....and this is rare for me, because I am an estate agent with all that entails, but here those same superlatives are for once justified, as you will see.

Sitting in a small enclave of four houses at the head of a cul-de-sac, thus removing any threat of inconvenience from passing traffic, we find this stunning home.

In spite of being built just over 20 years ago, neither this nor its neighbours look at all dated, and still have that "almost too good to be true" look, straight from some planner's brochure. Admittedly, on my visit the appearance was enhanced by perfect weather but even on a dank autumnal day, I doubt too much glitter would rub off.

A neat open plan lawn lies to the front of the home and contains a pair of small trees giving welcome shade, with the surrounds being dotted with various potted plants adding colour. There is parking for many cars on the shallowly sloping drive, before it ends at the electric roller shutters for the integrated garage.

A stylised porch stands proud of the front elevation and gives protection from the elements to anyone unloading the shopping, or for the Jehovah Witnesses.

Stepping into the main hallway, you are immediately struck by the wooden floor and the light wood of the solid oak staircase facing you, which gives an air of almost Scandinavian chic. With its clean lines and easily maintained surfaces, this is a theme that is repeated throughout the home.

On the right is the door into the formal dining room where we find easily enough space for a rather extravagant suite of table and chairs, along with various items of free standing accompanying furniture. This is a very light and airy space, largely thanks to the deep bay window overlooking the front garden. It is also helped in no small measure by the large glass insert set into the door, something that is replicated through the entire ground floor and makes the home feel far more open plan that it actually is.

A space saving (as if it were necessary...) sliding door at the rear of the room is fitted with a similar glass panel and allows us though into the kitchen, a room straight from the pages of a glossy magazine, or some high end showroom where the staff look down on mere mortals like me.

In essence, I suppose you could call this a galley style kitchen as it features two banks of fitted units facing one another but that utterly fails to do it justice. Firstly there is a vast amount of room in between the two sides, allowing multiple workers to function, without getting in one another's way and secondly, 'galley kitchen' implies compromise and here no such thing is evident; from the quality of the fittings to the comprehensive nature of the available technological wizardry, this is somewhere true gourmets would aspire to be fed from. Yet it manages this while maintaining clean and modern lines, with no visible clutter yet you just know that everything is there, as it should be.

A complete wall of assorted cupboards accommodates space for a massive American double-door fridge and a pair of convenient eye level ovens. Beneath the units opposite, nestle all the washers with a stylish faux marble work top which finishes at the attached breakfast bar beside the patio doors that open into the garden. Do I sound too enthusiastic? Sorry, but it's that impressive...
Towards the rear of the kitchen is the door into the adjacent lounge where the theme of wood finishes and hard floors continues, to great effect. This is a comfortably spacious room, big enough to feel expansive without becoming overpowering and with a focal point provided by the stylish faux marble fireplace. In here is a piece of genius that provides all the visual appeal of a fashionable and desirable open fire but is in actuality, a living flame gas fire, meaning there is none of the associated dust or work.

At the rear of the room, a set of sliding patio doors open into the attached white UPVC conservatory with its practical and attractive ceramic flooring. From here you look down over the fabulous rear garden, a riot of colour and interest, ready to be enjoyed whatever the weather.

Outside the kitchen door is a large patio area over which a retractable awning offers welcome shade and somewhere from which to simply relax and enjoy the views over the open farmland. This patio also continues past the conservatory to a further sheltered seating area making it perfect for the determined outdoor diner and making it possible to follow the sun around the garden throughout the day.

The other door from the lounge leads back into the hall, passing as it does, to the downstairs cloakroom, with its hand basin and lavatory before we head to the bottom of the stairs.

Once again the stairs are of a quality wood construction, one of the recurring themes that make this home stand out from the crowd and give it such character.

The first door at the top of the stairs reveals a spacious double room with a charming feature of a recessed alcove filling the void above the stairwell and providing an instant bookcase or display unit. Overlooking the front of the home, there is room in here for some substantial free standing furniture to accompany a double bed, but which does not restrict movement in any way.

Working around the landing in a clockwise manner, beside here is the second bedroom, which if anything, is even larger and enjoys open views across the adjoining pasture land. Furniture in here is currently mainly of the fitted type and whether this would remain on sale with the home, would be by arrangement.

Next, we come to the family bathroom, where like the kitchen we are transported to a fantasy land far from Flintshire. This is somewhere usually found in a high end boutique hotel, with its ceramic floor, futuristic heated towel rail, unitary hand basin and lavatory and a fabulous walk in shower with its curving glass side screens.

The third bedroom, while slightly smaller than the others, is blessed with a complete wall of fitted 'mirrored' wardrobes making either a flamboyantly luxurious single room or an adequately spacious double.

Finally we enter the principal bedroom. now this is a large room that provides plenty of space and where there are twin wardrobes either side of the double bed, that are connected above it by a series of overhead storage lockers. It's a lovely neat and tidy room ideal for bedtime.
Off here is, as you would expect in a home of this calibre, a spacious en-suite with hand basin, lavatory and a large walk-in shower, that completes the ensemble.

Downstairs, is an integrated single garage that could, if you really needed, be converted into more downstairs living accommodation. It would make an excellent fifth bedroom, an office, games room, gym or whatever it is you may need to add in the future. You will of course, need to get planning consent from your local council, so please consult them before taking this on.

All in all this is a truly remarkable home. In fabulous condition and fitted throughout to the most exacting of standards it offers the space you need in an interesting and imaginative package. The kitchen and bathroom are things of rare beauty but not intimidating, in that they both manage to feel homely and comfortable while remaining so obviously special - and that is a hard trick to pull off. It has a choice of venues from which to enjoy the gardens; the conservatory for cooler days or the peaceful patio for warmer times. This overlooks the lawn and issurrounded by substantial hedges, it offers the peace and privacy that we all look for when we come home and this is what this is. More than simply a house, it's a home.
