8 bedroom house

Presently, we have two families, the mother who occupies the main house and her daughter and son in law, the cottage. Although separately titled, they use and cultivate the land jointly to enjoy the perfect country family lifestyle yet are still able to live independently. Perfect for two families with a desire to live together.

Alternatively, why not use the cottage as a holiday home and earn yourself additional income! If you seek a beautiful family home with an opportunity to earn from a holiday let business, then look no further!

The surrounding land and bridle ways that are quite literally on your doorstep here, suggest an equestrian focused family or business could entertain the endless opportunities that present themselves if the two properties were purchased as a whole.

Equally, as mentioned previously, these properties are on individual titles and can be purchased as separate entities. Numerous possibilities for your consideration!

Either way the properties show off individuality and historical interest in a picturesque setting.

Manor House

From both a presentational point of view and an historical aspect, Plas Uchaf is simply stunning. Described as one of the most distinguished hall-houses in the vale of Clwyd, dating back to late 1400, this house is steeped in history.

It has been owned over the centuries by the Constable of Conwy Castle and three High Sheriffs of Denbighshire. The present owner has dressed the property in keeping with its age and type, creating a beautiful family home. From the moment you drive up to the property, it grabs your attention, the views across the Clwydian Range to the front and the countryside to the rear are idyllic.

Taking in the stunning views of the Clwydian range as you head down the sweeping driveway you will see the majority of the 3.5 acre pastureland and then come across a stone wall which is adorned with aged stone horse heads. The driveway ends at the front of the property with ample parking for events or large family gatherings.

With the property boasting 6 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms, two of which are en-suites, and an impressively large lounge this property lends itself to large family gatherings and entertainment.

UTILITY:

A feature of the earliest part of the house is a stone archway leading into the utility room. Either side of the door way are recesses in the wall where a wooden beam would have been housed and slid across to secure the door.
