Introduction
A Rare Find. Fifteen Acres. Yours to Make Your Own. Some properties need explaining. This one doesn’t. Set in one of the most beautiful stretches of countryside between Ruthin and Clocaenog Forest, this compact smallholding sits within about 15.14 acres of ring-fenced land, on a long private drive, with distant views of the Clwydian Hills rolling away to the east. It’s the kind of place you turn into and immediately exhale. The house itself is a well-proportioned 3/4 bedroom detached. Inside: entrance porch, hall, lounge, dining room, study, a modern fitted kitchen/dining room, cloakroom and boot room. Three bedrooms and a bathroom upstairs. Detailed plans are in place for a generous two-storey extension, with scope to incorporate the adjoining stone garage and workshop. The bones are good. The potential is real. Outside is where this property truly opens up. A purpose-built five-bay portal framed building provides stables and stock shed. There’s an all-weather menage. There’s pastureland. And it’s all within a ring fence, giving the kind of privacy and self-sufficiency that’s almost impossible to find in this area. This is quiet countryside. Genuinely quiet. Located some 3 miles from Clawddnewydd and 9 miles from Ruthin, surrounded by minor lanes that wind through the 10,000 acres of Clocaenog Forest in this particular corner of Denbighshire. It doesn’t come up often. Viewing is highly recommended, and for good reason. ________________________________________
LOCATION
The property stands in a very secluded setting in the heart of Clocaenog forest yet only a short distance from the main B5105 Cerrig to Corwen road. It is convenient for facilities available in Clawdd Newydd with a successful community run Inn with highly regarded restaurant, and popular community hall, whilst Ruthin has a more extensive range of shops, schools and leisure facilities and direct access towards Wrexham and Chester.
PLANNING FOR EXTENSION
Detailed drawings were prepared to greatly extend the house to the rear elevation to re-model and create a much larger family home. The plans will be available to see when visiting or on request.
