COLEG Y GROES

An extensive arrangement of accommodation/living space arranged between the original low stone building (former almshouses) and a substantial modern detached five bedroomed house - all of which are situated within a pleasant private garden setting between the church and Berwyn mountains.
LOCATION
Vehicular access is by right of way and there is a right of way by foot across the churchyard. The property is easily accessed from the main A5 road but separated from the road and traffic noise by the parish church and churchyard. At the rear of the property woodland leads up to the Berwyn Mountains. Amenities catering for daily needs are accessible within Corwen Village and the location provide easy access to Llangollen with other commercial centres including Oswestry, Mold and the historic city of Chester being a little further afield. Within close proximity of Coleg y Groes are some of the area's most picturesque and impressive rolling countryside.

THE ALMSHOUSES

Listed Grade II* as being of architectural and/or historic interest, the Almshouses (known as 'The College') were built in 1750 as six almshouses with one room on each floor and a brew-house at the end. The outhouses were added in the 19th Century. Two rooms were knocked into one to form what is now the dining room and the six almshouses made into one dwelling place, divided by the central archway. The kitchen was originally two rooms which formed the brew-house. This visually attractive building has stone elevations beneath a slated roof and sits in front of a most attractive and established private garden. It is divided into 2 self catering units, but could easily be changed back into one dwelling if required.
Each half of the house has its own gas heating system. The property has a fire alarm and emergency lighting. This building offers tremendous potential to be customised to suit individual requirements (Subject to obtaining any necessary planning consent and subject to obtaining Listed Building consent). Incorporated within the sales particulars is a floor plan, further substantiating the versatility of the accommodation.

ST NON'S

Constructed in 1990 to an appealing design, St Non's (named after the mother of St David) provides living space over two storeys with gas fired central heating and double glazing throughout. Arranged around a central hallway and landing, the accommodation includes a Cloakroom with wc, Lounge, Dining Room, Kitchen, Utility, Bathroom with wc, Ground Floor Bedroom, First Floor: Bedroom/Studio, Three further Bedrooms, Shower Room and Study.

We strongly recommend a viewing of Coleg y Groes to assess the extensive living space available in both St Non's and the former almshouses and to assess the potential for adaptation to suit individual requirements. This sale represents a genuinely rare opportunity to acquire a diverse range of accommodation including an adaptable and substantial modern dwelling with the benefit of modern conveniences plus a substantial period building boasting a wealth of character and history. Further information regarding Coleg Y Groes, St. Non's, the Grade II* Listing and more general information is available upon request.
