A beautifully presented country house with stunning gardens and a two bedroom cottage in an unspoilt rural setting.
Description
Donadea Lodge is an outstanding property enjoying far-reaching views over the Clwydian Range and Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. This is only the second time in 60 years this unique property has come to market. It comprises an excellent family house, a cottage offering income earning potential, a gym, further outbuildings and extensive and carefully designed and maintained gardens and grounds of about 2.6 acres.
The whole property has been comprehensively renovated during the current owner’s tenure and is presented to an exceptional standard.
The property is approached via a private driveway which leads to a large parking area in front of the house and cottage.
The main house comprises a porch area, spacious living room, sitting room, garden room, impressive open plan kitchen/dining area with a range of fitted units and appliances, utility room, boot room, WC and there is a plant room.
The first floor has an impressive principal bedroom with outstanding views over the countryside. There are a further three double bedrooms, two en suite bathrooms, a family bathroom and there is a generous landing area which could be used as an office.
The Cottage
The cottage provides ancillary accommodation and it is set over two floors. The downstairs comprises a sitting/dining room and kitchen, upstairs there are two bedrooms and a bathroom. The cottage has great potential for multi-generational living or income potential through short/long lets.
Externally
The gardens are a wonderful feature of the property. There are extensive lawns, an avenue of mature lime trees, herbaceous borders, shrubs and plants, and paths offering pleasant walks around the properties grounds. Within the grounds there are various outbuildings and an orchard which has 32 trees comprising apple, plum and pear trees. There is a productive kitchen and cutting garden with many raised beds and established fruit bushes.
The property also comprises a paddock (the whole site extending to approximately 2.63 acres).
Location
Donadea Lodge stands in a wonderful unspoilt and private position about 1 mile from small town of Caerwys.
Caerwys is the smallest town in Great Britain with a Royal Charter. It is situated in North Wales in the County of Flintshire - just under two miles from the A55 and one mile from the A541 ( Mold / Denbigh Road ) at Afonwen. The centre of Caerwys is in a Conservation Area and the town is surrounded by areas of outstanding natural beauty and stunning views across the Clwydian Range AONB.
There is a comprehensive range of services in the nearby towns of Mold and Denbigh or alternatively in the cities of Chester and Liverpool which are within 20 and 30 miles respectively. All of which have a selection of shopping, schooling and leisure facilities.
Despite the property’s rural location, it benefits from excellent road and rail connections the A55 expressway facilitates easy travel to Chester, Liverpool, Manchester airport and Anglesey and there is direct rail service from Flint and Chester to London Euston via Crewe and international airports at both Liverpool and Manchester.
The area is well known for the many attractive walks and the North Wales Coast and Snowdonia are also within easy reach.
