Description

An exceptionally presented three bedroom barn conversion with circa 4 acres (1.62 ha) of land situated in an elevated south facing location approximately 1/2 a mile from the village of Glyn Ceiriog at the heart of the Ceiriog Valley. The property has been refurbished to the highest of standards and achieved the rare accreditation of an ‘A’ Rating within the EPC assessment. This is testament to the works which the vendors have undertaken and the property now provides most comfortably appointed accommodation, alongside being future proofed from an energy use point of the view. The heat pump, solar thermal and solar PV combined with excellent insulation mean the property is environmentally friendly and electricity usage is kept very low. The property also includes a useful stable building which is currently used as a games room and adjoins the associated land parcel. The property is currently run as a successful holiday cottage and a number of the visitors return year on year. Early inspection is highly recommended.
