Features and description
Pen Y Cefn Farm, believed to date back to around 1600 and, being Grade II listed, provides a rare and exciting renovation opportunity. This characterful stone farmhouse is thought to have once been a minor gentry house, with a wealth of history attached to it.
Both the house and its outbuildings require total redevelopment, but offer the potential to be transformed into a delightful and secluded country getaway in this beautiful rural North Wales landscape. Listed building consent has already been granted.
The house itself comprises more than 2,000 square feet of accommodation, including three bedrooms on the first floor. There is currently no kitchen or any bathrooms, so the final layout and room configuration is not set.
The outbuildings could be converted into stables, office or studio space, or further
accommodatio (subject to the necessary consents) and provide plenty of options for the buyer to create commercial opportunities, such as holiday lettings, from the property.
The property is in a rural location situated between Rhydymwyn and Cilcain and is surrounded by an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, with the Clwydian Range of hills just to the west.
The bustling town of Mold, with its choice of shops and supermarkets, and variety of restaurants and cafés, is just over three miles away. There is schooling available in Gwernaffield and Cilcain, both of which have primary schools, while secondary schooling is available in Mold.
The area is well connected by road, with the A494 and the A55 North Wales Expressway both within easy reach, providing further access into North Wales, or towards the English borders and Chester.
The house and its outbuildings sit well within its grounds which amount to 1.21 acres in total. At the front of the property there are gardens which are mainly enclosed by stone walling, and to the rear is a paddock.
The current owner has already installed a septic tank in the rear garden as well as excavating and installing surface water and rain water drainage around the perimeter of the main house. The roof of the main house has also undergone complete refurbishment, with one of the outbuildings having already been adapted for bat migration.
