You are looking for a substantial family home, one that can offer plenty of
internal space and accommodation. However, the answer for you is not a large
spacious, generic, modern dwelling but you'd rather, a genuinely substantive,
period home that has charm, character and gravitas. Here's your opportunity to
buy a piece of local history.
Located on the immediate outskirts the popular market town of Mold, Argoed
House, enjoys stunning rural views of Moel Famau and the Clwydian range. On
arrival, you are greeted by wrought iron electronic gates which gives access
to car park spaces at the front of the property as well additional parking
space at the rear - which you reach via a driveway to the left hand side of
the dwelling.
The original dwelling was built circa 1624 and owned by a local Squire. After
which, it has reputedly led a very colourful existence including hosting King
Ferdinand V11 of Spain in the early 19 Century, before thereafter being
utilised as a Coachhouse.
Inside the property there is an abundance of charm, character and original
features which authenticates this property as being truly bespoke. It offers
four reception rooms and four generously proportioned bedrooms with the Master
Bedroom having its own external balcony and a very spacious & comprehensively
appointed En Suite. It is recognised that there is general updating and
refurbishment that may be required at Argoed House and the marketing price
does reflect this.
Externally the property has a multi level garden, laid mostly to lawn which
wraps around three sides of the property, it also has very large garage
(approx 34ftx 22ft) which at the beginning of the twentieth century was
utilised as a place where children's Toys were manufactured.
