SOUGHT AFTER LOCATION | OUTSTANDING VIEWS | SUBSTANTIAL COUNTRY HOME | GREAT FOR MULTI-GENERATIONAL LIVING
Occupying a truly enviable position at the end of a private lane, Top O Waen is an exceptional country residence, combining timeless character, beautifully appointed interiors and breathtaking panoramic views across the Clwydian Hills towards Snowdonia (Eryri). Offering an impressive 3,500 sq ft of versatile accommodation, this distinctive home presents a rare opportunity to enjoy an idyllic rural lifestyle without compromising on space, comfort or connectivity.
Thoughtfully enhanced over time, the property seamlessly blends traditional charm with contemporary styling, creating an elegant yet welcoming home ideally suited to modern family living, entertaining and multi-generational arrangements.
Upon entering, an impressive reception hall sets the tone, leading to two beautifully proportioned reception rooms, each enjoying captivating countryside views. The principal living room is a particularly inviting space, featuring solid wooden flooring, a stylish Jøtul wood-burning stove and French doors opening onto the south-facing patio. The adjoining dining room provides an elegant setting for family gatherings and more formal occasions.
At the heart of the home lies a stunning contemporary kitchen, thoughtfully designed with sleek cabinetry, luxurious Silestone worktops and an impressive central island. Integrated Neff appliances sit alongside a traditional Aga range cooker, combining modern convenience with enduring country-house appeal. French doors open onto the patio, creating a wonderful connection between the interior and the outdoor entertaining space.
The principal residence offers four generous bedrooms, including an impressive principal suite complete with a luxurious en-suite bathroom. A second bedroom also benefits from its own en-suite facilities, while the remaining bedrooms are served by a beautifully presented family bathroom. Two substantial interconnecting attic rooms provide exceptional flexibility, whether required as a dedicated home office, creative studio, games room or additional storage.
A particularly appealing feature is the original cottage, thoughtfully incorporated into the property while retaining its own individual charm. This additional accommodation offers exciting possibilities for extended family, independent guest quarters or, subject to the necessary consents, potential holiday accommodation. A cosy snug, complete with an exposed stone fireplace and wood-burning stove, creates a charming retreat, while the spacious open-plan living and dining room offers an inviting setting for relaxed everyday living. Two bedrooms, a shower room and independent staircase access further enhance the versatility of this unique arrangement.
The outdoor setting perfectly complements the character of the home. Beautifully established lawned gardens are framed by mature trees and established hedging, while an expansive paved terrace provides an idyllic setting for alfresco dining, summer entertaining or simply unwinding whilst taking in the far-reaching south-facing views. A former tennis court offers the opportunity to reinstate a private sporting facility or explore alternative leisure uses.
Equally impressive is the property's practical provision, with ample parking, an integral double garage incorporating useful storage areas, a detached single garage, separate utility room and cloakroom. Planning permission for a substantial ancillary outbuilding further enhances the property's appeal, offering exciting possibilities for future use, subject to the relevant planning conditions.
Despite its peaceful and private setting, Top O Waen enjoys excellent accessibility. The historic market town of Caerwys is just a short drive away, while convenient access to the A55 Expressway places the wider region within easy reach. Mold lies approximately 10 miles away, Chester around 19 miles, and both Liverpool and Manchester airports are typically accessible within an hour.
Combining impressive proportions, distinctive character, adaptable living arrangements and spectacular countryside views, Top O Waen is a truly special country home offering an enviable lifestyle in one of North Wales' most picturesque settings.
