A charming character home with courtyard garden, set within a superb parkland environment in the grounds of the prestigious Wynnstay Hall Estate.
Ground Floor
A bright and welcoming entrance hall, complete with a built-in storage cupboard, provides access to all principal ground floor rooms. The main living room is a particularly appealing space, enjoying a dual aspect with views across the surrounding grounds and into the courtyard garden. A feature fire surround with pebble-effect flame fire adds warmth and character. The dining room benefits from double doors flanked by full-height windows with internal shutters, creating a light and elegant dining space. A spiral staircase rises from this room to the first floor, while a built-in cupboard discreetly houses the Worcester Bosch gas boiler. The well-appointed kitchen features a range of shaker-style units with solid wood block work surfaces, a Belfast sink and a central island. Appliances include SMEG double ovens and a gas hob, alongside an integrated dishwasher. Two windows, one incorporating a charming window seat, overlook the grounds. The adjoining utility room provides space for a fridge/freezer, as well as plumbing and space for a washing machine and tumble dryer. There are two bedrooms on the ground floor, both served by a generous bathroom fitted with a ‘P’-shaped bath and shower over, WC, and vanity units with semirecessed wash basin, mirrored cabinets and integrated lighting. The principal ground-floor bedroom also benefits from bespoke fitted bedroom furniture.
First Floor
The first floor offers highly adaptable accommodation, ideal for a variety of lifestyle needs. The spiral staircase leads to a landing with roof light and access to a dressing room or additional bedroom. An inner landing gives access to a well-sized shower room fitted with a three-piece white suite. Opposite is a small pantry area with work surfaces and space for an undercounter fridge. The principal first-floor bedroom is fitted with a range of wardrobe units and enjoys extensive under-eaves storage on both sides. From here, a study with fitted furniture and exposed beams leads to a further large storage area.
Gardens and Grounds
The property enjoys the benefit of a private, enclosed courtyard garden as well as an open-plan lawned garden to the front, both set within the wider parkland grounds of the Wynnstay Estate. Wynnstay Hall itself is approached via a magnificent tree-lined private drive, flanked by parkland. The entrance to Wynnstay Court is located on the left before reaching the main hall. Access to the property is via double wooden gates opening into a gravelled and flagged courtyard, enclosed by attractive brick walls and wrought iron railings. The courtyard offers a particularly private and sheltered seating area. To the front of the property is an additional open-plan garden overlooking the surrounding parkland.
The property benefits from two allocated parking spaces, with visitor parking available nearby.
Situation
Wynnstay Hall Estate was formerly the principal seat of the Watkin WilliamsWynn family and was later used as the private Lindisfarne School. Today, the estate comprises a select collection of high-quality houses and apartments set within glorious parkland and Grade I listed gardens, originally designed in 1777 by Lancelot ‘Capability’ Brown.
Despite its peaceful rural setting, Wynnstay Hall is conveniently located within a short drive of the villages of Ruabon and OvertononDee (approximately 5.5 miles), both offering a good range of local shops, leisure and educational facilities. The county towns of Chester and Shrewsbury are also readily accessible, providing a comprehensive range of amenities and excellent state schooling. Notable independent schools in the area include King’s and Queen’s Schools in Chester and Moreton Hall.
