DESCRIPTION

Bryn Bella is a substantial detached property which was built during the early 2000’s on the site of a traditional farmhouse. It is mostly constructed of brick and block with rendered elevations beneath a slate roof, served by oil central heating supported by a multi fuel burner. During the present owner’s tenure since 2017, the property has undergone numerous improvements and alterations notably to the outside including additional equestrian facilities such as creation of a new menage and stabling, along with a new compliant sewage treatment plant in 2018. 12 kWh of Solar PV, together with 8.5 kWh of battery storage has also been added to support the electricity usage, and this, coupled with the woodburner with back boiler in the lounge, significantly helping reduce energy and heating costs.

The property provides spacious and well appointed accommodation arranged over two floors ideally suited to family living, including multi-generational, and also for parties seeking to downsize from a larger property but who wish to retain land and a rural environment. The day to day living rooms are spacious, and the kitchen and main lounge both enjoy the long views towards the Clwydian Hills. The entrance hall has a stone flagged floor, vaulted ceiling and bespoke oak staircase. It provides access to all principal ground floor rooms, the lounge is a particularly impressive yet cosy room, being L-shaped and having double aspect as well as woodburner set within a stone chimney breast with oak mantel. To the rear of the house are the study/playroom which opens into the conservatory, and the dining room.

The kitchen has been modified in recent years with new work surfaces, and includes a range of oak wall and floor units with cupboards and drawers, a Rangemaster cooker with gas hob and ovens below, integrated stainless steel sink unit, fridge and dishwasher. There is a central island and also plenty of space for dining table and chairs. To the rear of the kitchen is a fully fitted shower room opposite which is a utility room with plumbing for washing machine and housing the oil fired boiler as well as storage units and Belfast sink. The rear porch provides access to outside.

At first floor level, the accommodation is as comprehensive, accessed off a galleried landing. The master bedroom has a range of fully fitted wardrobes and a well fitted ensuite shower room, both rooms having far reaching views. There are 3 other spacious double bedrooms bedrooms and a large single fifth, along with a fully equipped family bathroom with Bio-Jet Jacuzzi bath and separate shower. The bathroom has a large fitted airing cupboard and is large enough for sub-division should someone require an additional ensuite shower room to the second bedroom.

OUTSIDE

Bryn Bella is approached via a long drive which rises from the lane to a wide parking area in front of the house. Steps lead from this area to a flagged patio against the front elevation which in turn provides access into the house. To the side is a garden store (3.42m x 2.37m) with rendered elevations beneath a slate roof, and a path leads around to the rear of the house where there is access to the back door and also to a raised lawned area.

From the parking area the drive rises past a two bay open front store (6.97m x 4.88m) with monopitch roof and which is served with light and power. The drive continues through a five bar gate to a hardcore yard and to the stabling. There is a steel portal framed barn, with concrete floor, and block and plastic coated sheet and timber clad elevations, comprising two main areas; the stables and machinery/fodder storage. The principal part of the building (18.2m x 9.16m) incorporates 7 loose boxes (3 with automatic water) of block construction, and has pedestrian doors at the gable end, and an open bay towards the rear. There is also a wash bay and drying area.

To the north elevation is a recently built two bay machinery/fodder store (9.16m x 9.15m), also open fronted. The whole building is served with light and power, and the solar PV unit is fitted to the roof on the south facing elevation. Adjacent is a detached range of stables constructed of timber beneath a corrugated felt roof, comprising 2 loose boxes (3.7m x 3.5m). There is an area of concrete and hardstanding and access from the buildings to the land.

The land surrounds the house and buildings on three sides, and is sub-divided into 6 main fields with a lower holding paddock beside the menage. The land has been well maintained and is ideally suited to grazing horses or livestock. It is well fenced and free draining. The land is served with mains water, and there is independent access to the north via a side track. The menage was built in 2018 and is 50m x 30m. It has a fully draining hardcore base, silica sand and fibre surface and is enclosed by post and rail. A fantastic attribute of Bryn Bella and wonderful amenity for any equestrian owner to have at their home. There is independent gated access to the lane from beside the menage. The second lot of land immediately adjoins the property albeit it can be accessed independently from the lane. It is a broadly rectangular field, and suitable for mowing and grazing.
