The Gables is a handsome stone-built detached house, offering more than 3,000 square feet of attractive and comfortable accommodation, including five bedrooms, and offers significant potential for further development of existing stores and outbuildings. The original dwelling was completely rebuilt by the owners to exacting standards, positioning the home to enjoy the views of the Clwydian Range. Using Master Craftsmen, local materials such as Welsh roof slate and stone lintels from the local quarry, oak windows, doors and gates, and high specification sound proofing insulation, The Gables is an exemplary property.

The spacious entrance hall provides access to the sitting room, and kitchen, with Italian marble flooring throughout the ground floor. Both the ground and first floor also enjoy underfloor heating. The elegant sitting room with corniced ceilings, a fireplace fitted with a log burner is both welcoming and warm by design.

Further ground-floor living space includes the beautiful openplan kitchen and breakfast room, measuring 31ft and featuring French doors opening to the rear gardens. The bespoke kitchen with a central island and a breakfast bar, is all hand made with oak casings. There is an Aga and integrated Miele appliances, including an oven, coffee machine and a gas hob built into the island. The room also provides ample space for a seating area and a family dining table, while additional ground-floor storage and space for appliances can be found in the boot room and utility room.

The bespoke oak staircase with its glass balustrade leads to four well-presented first-floor bedrooms. These include the generous principal bedroom with its dressing room and an en suite bathroom, as well as one further bedroom en suite. The first floor also has a family shower room, while stairs continue to the second floor, where there is an additional bedroom with skylights overhead and an en suite shower room. Above the double garage attached to the house, further accommodation could be added (subject to the necessary planning permissions) as an additional bedroom or used as office space.
