Situation
Approached along a magnificent tree-lined avenue, the Wynnstay Hall Estate was once the principal seat of the Watkin Williams-Wynn family and now comprises several luxurious apartments and private houses, of which The Great Hall is the most notable conversion. The property exhibits some magnificent Georgian architectural features and sits amidst parkland and Grade I listed gardens, which were originally designed in 1777 by Lancelot “Capability” Brown. Whilst enjoying a tremendous semi-rural setting, the Wynnstay Hall is within a short drive of the nearby villages of Ruabon (1.5 miles) and Overton-on-Dee (5.5 miles), both of which have excellent local shopping, recreational and educational facilities. The county towns of Chester and Shrewsbury are both easily accessible, offering a comprehensive array of amenities and highly-regarded Independent education, including King’s and Queen’s Schools, Chester.


The property
The Great Hall, originally the principal entertaining space within Wynnstay Hall, is a magnificent conversion extending to approximately 6,500 sq ft of accommodation, boasting a wealth of original features expertly combined with contemporary styling, enjoying superb views over open countryside. The property was converted circa 2008, and since been enhanced by the current owner.


The accommodation
The property is approached through an arched portico entrance, offering an imposing entrance to The Great Hall, in turn leading into the inner reception hall with eye-catching encaustic tile flooring.


The ground floor accommodation is predominantly open-plan with an impressive vaulted oak ceiling. Oak flooring runs throughout the reception area, with original oak panelled walls to dado level. A welcoming reception area runs through to a seating area with a noteworthy open fireplace within an elaborate carved fire-surround. A dining area and games area are located at the opposite side of the contemporary central staircase.


To the rear of the Great Hall is a charming kitchen, fitted with a range of contemporary cabinets, exposed brick feature wall and attractive original encaustic tile flooring. A range of appliances include a stainless-steel gas range cooker, with canopy extractor hood. The kitchen has space to accommodate a sizeable family breakfast table.


The central staircase rises to the first floor giving access to the master bedroom suite having a dressing room and luxurious en suite bathroom. A second double bedroom also enjoys a luxurious en suite bathroom. An interesting first floor balcony can be accessed from both bedrooms, offering a sheltered seating area. A contemporary ‘floating’ walkway give access to a gallery, incorporating an impressive original bookcase, along with an area ideal as a home study.

A most impressive mezzanine living room incorporates a drawing room, with a home bar to the one side. A balcony features a row of authentic cinema seats, with retractable home cinema screen.
