Property description
A particularly charming Grade II* listed detached period estate cottage boasting characterful living accommodation and situated within generous and attractively presented gardens, accompanied by two open-market semi-detached bungalows, peacefully located in a secluded position close to Chirk.
Description - Halls are delighted with instructions to offer Queen Anne Cottage and 1 and 2 West Bungalows in Whitehurst, near Chirk for sale by private treaty.
Queen Anne Cottage is elegant Grade II* listed period estate cottage which offers characterful and sympathetically presented living accommodation extending to around 713 sq ft and positioned across three floors, these comprising, on the ground floor, a Kitchen with adjoining Pantry, Bathroom, and Cloakroom, together with, to the upper floors, a spacious Living Room and two Bedrooms.
The Cottage is centrally positioned with generous and wonderfully maintained gardens which extend, in all, to around 1/3 acre, with a tree-lined driveway culminating at a gravelled parking area which leads on to areas of lawn complemented by an array of well-stocked floral beds and mature trees.
Most notably, the property is complemented by two open-market semi-detached bungalows, both of which enjoy similarly generous gardens situated in an elevated position and enjoying pleasant views, with the bungalows benefitting from a dedicated vehicular access which leads past a range of outbuildings and on to a parking area.
The bungalows provide buyers with excellent scope for multi-generational living, separation and re-sale, or a passive income stream via longer term rental or holiday letting.
Situation - Queen Anne Cottage is situated in a secluded yet convenient position within Whitehurst Gardens, a charming hamlet formerly contained within the grounds of Chirk Castle
and now lying on the edge of the popular village of Chirk. Chirk has an excellent range of local amenities to include convenience stores, a post office, cottage hospital, schools, golf club and doctors surgery, all of which serve the daily needs of the area. The property is, also, within easy motoring distance of the larger centres of Wrexham (10 miles), Oswestry (7 miles) and Chester (21 miles) all of which have a more comprehensive range of amenities of all kinds.
