Location
Cae Gwyn is situated just above the village of Tremeirchion, and occupies an idyllic setting nestling into the hillside overlooking the Vale of Clwyd, being just over 5 miles to the east of the county town of Denbigh.
The property enjoys an extremely discreet position, approached via a private driveway towards the end of a quiet, no-through lane. Cae Gwyn benefits from wonderful views to the front across open fields and the Vale of Clwyd, south to the Clwydian Range and north to the coast. The village of Tremeirchion has a church and a pub, whilst the larger towns of Denbigh and Ruthin, offer a more comprehensive range of services, along with Mold which is approximately 20 miles distant and Chester.
On the educational front, there is a state primary school in the village as well as primary and secondary schooling in Ruthin and Denbigh and St Asaph. For those seeking independent education, there is Ruthin School, Rydal at Colwyn Bay, Myddleton College in Denbigh, and the The King’s and Queen’s Schools in Chester complemented by boarding schools in Oswestry, Ellesmere and Shrewsbury.
The Vale of Clwyd is renowned for its micro-climate and scenery and the property has direct access onto wonderful walks along the Clwydian range. There are numerous local pheasant shoots, fishing on several rivers and hunting is with the Flint & Denbigh. In Denbigh there is a leisure centre with football, cricket and rugby clubs, and just beyond Henllan, there is an 18 hole golf course.
Description
Cae Gwyn is an impressive period house which is believed to date from 1830’s, constructed of painted rendered elevations beneath a slate roof with high chimney stacks. Typical of the Regency era, the property has a lovely front and side façade, and plenty of lovely period detail throughout, including elegant sash windows, high ceilings with some cornicing, and a turned staircase rising from the hall to a galleried landing. The property was extended by a previous owner to create a side wing with extra reception room and new master suite above, designed to take full advantage of the spectacular views which are also enjoyed from the drawing room and study.
In recent years the present owners have carried out certain improvements to the house including the conversion of a range of traditional outbuildings to provide three holiday letting units from which a healthy income has been derived. For those interested in seeking to further develop the income earning element of Cae Gwyn, planning permission was obtained in 2016 for ‘three woodland holiday accommodation units’ within the grounds to the rear of the main house. Indeed, by virtue of the peaceful location, wonderful views and accessibility to major areas through the north west, there appears to be great potential to further expand Cae Gwyn as an exciting lifestyle property supporting a superbly proportioned country house providing ideal family accommodation together with extensive ancillary/letting accommodation.
Double front doors open to the hall which has a stone flagged floor and turned staircase. To one side is the drawing room, an impressive room with deep bay window and French doors to the garden, and marble fireplace above a woodburner. Opposite is the study with superbly fitted bookshelving. Both rooms face south west overlooking the Vale. Beyond is the dining with a pair of deep sash windows to the main lawn and also with open fireplace and marble mantel. The kitchen is at the rear of the house and provides an excellent everyday living area with plenty of space for table and chairs, and a pair of French doors opening to an enclosed yard. There is a slate floor and range of traditional wall and floor units beneath work surfaces include extensive cupboards and drawer space, a 4 oven oil fired Aga, and sink with mixer. Beyond is the utility which provides further storage and houses the Trianco oil fired boiler. A wide arch and step leads to the morning room with access to the sitting room, a lovely bright room having double aspect to the front and side of the house benefitting from the views.
At first floor level the accommodation is as comprehensive with spacious, light and airy bedrooms served by three bathrooms. The master suite comprises a large double bedroom on the south corner of the building therefore enjoying incredible views, together with en-suite bathroom and also a large dressing room with fitted wardrobes, which would alternatively be a fifth bedroom. There are three further double bedrooms all of which have views across the grounds, and two bath/shower rooms, one being en-suite to the guest bedroom. There is also loft space providing useful storage.
The Holiday Cottages
In November 2013 planning application number 47/2013/1229/PF was approved permitting ‘Change of use of disused buildings to holiday cottage and backpackers bunkhouse’. The present owners proceeded with implementing the permission immediately, creating ‘The Hideaway’, ‘The Creamery’ and ‘The Bothy’ which have been fitted to a high standard and have proven extremely popular particularly with couples but which are entirely suitable for individuals and families alike.
Created from traditional stone buildings beneath slate roofs, both are two storey and self contained. The larger lodge comprises The Hideaway & The Creamery and is capable of being sub-divided to two separate units, with the ground floor comprising a double bedroom with sitting area, fitted wardrobes and ensuite shower room off. There is also a fitted kitchen with cupboards, sink with mixer, wine fridge, Lamona LPG hob and a Glowworm boiler.
At first floor level there are two double bedrooms, each with exposed ceiling timbers, a family bathroom and landing with separate Glowworm boiler. At the far end of the building is the main living room with vaulted ceiling, seating area and fully fitted kitchen comprising a range of wall and floor units with cupboards and drawers, sink with mixer, an electric oven with LPG hob, microwave and oven, integrated dishwasher and woodburner. There is a staircase linking to the ground floor and also an external staircase should the two floors wish to become self contained.
The Bothy is a detached two storey building comprising a ground floor superbly fitted bathroom, with first floor bedroom/living room. Both The Hideaway and The Bothy have covered outdoor seating areas and hot tubs (respectively electric and woodfired). The Bothy garden in particular, enjoying fantastic views.
Outside
Cae Gwyn is approached through a wide splayed entrance beneath a stand of impressive trees including a magnificent beech tree, sycamore, yew and pines, and over a drive to a gravel and tarmacadamed parking area to the south of the house. Steps rise to a path which is flanked by lawns with floral borders, and leads to the front door with pillared portico. The main lawn is to the north west of the house and rises up to the lane, and also adjoins a patio with BBQ area beside the house. To the rear a bank with steps leads up to a further lawn with pond, and which, together with a parcel of adjoining woodland, was one the location for where the woodland letting units were to be cited.
Below the house are the traditional buildings one of which now comprises The Hideaway/Creamery, the other the guest ‘Zen sauna lounge’ and attached stallion stable, and the last being The Bothy. To the rear is a further range of outbuildings comprising garage, two loose boxes, one being a foaling box, and tack room. The buildings are of block construction beneath corrugated roofs. Beyond is an orchard and two small holding paddocks, along with access into the largest field from which there are lovely views inland. The field is down to grass and surrounded by mature hedgerows and some fencing.
The remainder of the land is sub-divided into two further fields, one being directly in front of the house and with some wrought iron fencing, the other to the rear with independent gated access to the lane. The fields are suitable for mowing as well as grazing horses or livestock. The land surrounds the house providing a high degree of privacy.
