DESCRIPTION

Tan y Graig is a charming former farmhouse, situated in a particularly unspoilt part of rural North Wales. It is surrounded by its own land which provides a high degree of privacy and also tremendous opportunity for anyone interested in equestrian or farming activities, as well as those who wish to create some form of lifestyle property, perhaps targeting tourism, outdoor pursuits, or glamping, subject to the availability of any necessary consents. Indeed, seldom are properties with such a setting, amenity and potential yet which are within reach of the north west’s main centres, offered for sale and so Tan y Graig presents an unusual and exciting opportunity.

The house is constructed predominantly of stone with white painted and rendered elevations beneath a slate roof, the house has an extremely pretty front façade including the original part of the building and later extensions. In recent years the house has been renovated to a high specification, and now has the modern attributes including double glazing and quality kitchen and bathroom fitments, but whilst retaining the charm and character of a period building, with exposed timbers, impressive fireplaces in the dining hall and sitting room, and a lovely oak turned staircase rising to a wide galleried landing.

The kitchen incorporates a range of wall and floor units with cupboards and drawers beneath granite work surfaces, integrated appliances including dishwasher, double ovens, induction hob and wine fridge and full height fridge and freezer. The room is perfect for everyday living and informal entertaining with space for a large dining table and seating. Beyond is a useful utility with oil fired boiler, and separate W.C. The reception rooms are at the other end of the house and are impressive yet cosy, both with woodburners set within stunning stone fireplaces. There is also a useful conservatory overlooking the front of the property.

At first floor level the rooms are as spacious and all bedrooms have lovely aspects across the fields towards the woodland and river. There is an abundance of space for wardrobes, and the two bath/shower rooms have been well appointed with quality sanitary ware.

LOCATION

Tan y Graig occupies a wonderfully peaceful and secluded location in rolling North Wales countryside, in the hills to the south of Abergele and some 3 miles from the attractive village of Llanfairtalhairn which has a local shop and pub. A wider choice of services is available in Denbigh, Abergele or St Asaph. On the recreational front there are several golf courses in the area, numerous shoots and other outdoor pursuits including fishing, and for the boating enthusiast, local sailing clubs together with marinas at Deganwy and Conwy. For anyone with equestrian interests, Tan y Graig is superbly placed with many quiet country lanes for hacking out to take full advantage of the spectacular surroundings.

COMMUNICATIONS

The area is extremely scenic with a beautiful sense of tranquility, yet is accessible being approximately 10 miles from the A55 Expressway for daily travel along the North Wales coast to Chester, beyond which are the M53 and M56 motorways serving Liverpool and Manchester. From Abergele there is a regular rail service to Liverpool and Manchester via Chester, and from Llandudno Junction a main line rail service to London Euston.

OUTSIDE

The property is approached via a long drive which is initially a track from the lane over which Tan y Graig has access rights. In front of the house is a wide gravel parking area, beyond which are the outbuildings and annexe. These are predominantly of stone construction beneath slate roofs, together with an open fronted timber framed shed, with block lower courses and corrugated sides and roof. The annexe provides fantastic ancillary accommodation or which could be let to derive a healthy income. Like the house, it is full of character, with an sitting/dining room opening to outside, fully fitted kitchen off which is a shower room, and at first floor level is a lovely bedroom with vaulted ceiling and exposed stone wall and beams. The traditional buildings are single storey and comprise open fronted car ports/storage together with a range of stables incorporating three loose boxes attached to the annexe, with rear store.

The house and buildings sit centrally within the land, which extends to over 24 acres. The topography of the site is undulating, and with flat grazing alongside the river, the fields to the west and north of the house being gently sloping. The fields are suitable for mowing and grazing, be that for horses or livestock. The land to the east and south of the house extends alongside the Aled, on the opposite side of which is a belt of woodland and further field which does not have independent access, but accessed via a Ford across the river. The river provides a wonderful amenity notably for fishing, and is a particularly attractive and part of Tan y Graig.
