Chester Business Park, Deeside and Wrexham are a short daily commute.

The Property
Bryn Glas reputedly dates back to the 1700s and has been extended and altered considerably in more recent years. The main part of the house was constructed in 1939 and was added to the original building. A further two storey extension was added to the rear elevation in the 1960’s. Both additions were sympathetically constructed and designed in keeping with the original, and the property now provides a spacious and attractive family home of immense character and charm.

Set in delightful grounds extending to 1.02 acres, the private gardens are a particular feature and are mainly laid to lawn with a variety of mature trees and extend down to a stream. The detached stone and slated garage block built in the 1990’s provides scope for conversion into additional accommodation (subject to obtaining the necessary planning consents) and a timber built 3 bay stable block is situated close to the entrance to the property. The annexe provides ideal accommodation for a dependant relative or for an additional income for use as an air

Gardens and Grounds
A five bar gate with stone walling and pillars to either side opens onto a sweeping driveway leading to the parking and turning area. Close to the entrance a small fenced enclosure houses a timber built stable block with three stables and grassed area. The driveway leads to an impressive stone and slated 5 bay detached garage. The garage was constructed in the 1990’s and is divided into two sections, the larger having three up and over doors, Velux roof windows, light and power and the smaller having two up and over doors. Low level stone walling and
block paved pathways form a particularly pleasant walkway to the front entrance and extend across the front, side and rear of the house.
