About this property

Occupying a secluded yet vantage point on the outskirts of the rural and historic heritage village of Cefn Mawr near Chirk in North Wales, is the charming property of Hillcrest. Newly and lovingly renovated to a very high standard and enjoying an extremely peaceful countryside setting, Hillcrest is an idyllic base for families, friends and walkers looking for a getaway into North Wales and its borderlands and beyond. You are welcome to park in the off-road spaces on the private driveway and at the rear of the property (which will accommodate two cars) and begin your staycation. There is lots of room in the porch for boots and coats; from the hall enter the spacious open-plan living room. The kitchen is fully equipped with an electric oven, gas hob, separate fridge and freezer, dishwasher and microwave oven; there is a washing machine in the utility room. At the end of your day, you can snuggle up on the sofa and enjoy a family-favourite on the TV, and you can also move upstairs and enjoy an escape into the pages of a good book, film or game in the additional sitting room/games room. On the first floor there is a sumptuous double bedroom, with its own en-suite shower room, on the ground floor there is the master bedroom, which has a king-size bed, along with the twin bedroom. On the ground floor, there is also a walk- in shower, ideal for guests with limited mobility and for families with little ones. Take the short stroll to Tŷ Mawr Country Park, where you can follow the network of walking trails that lead alongside the glistening waters of the River Dee, or come face-to-face with quaint farm animals, including free range chickens and a pair of llamas!

Corwen isn’t far, a town that is stepped in history, which will be evident with visits to the nearby Iron Age hillfort of Caer Drewyn; spend some time hiking across the hillfort and soaking up the sights of the Berwyn Mountains before wandering through the town’s quaint streets, where welcoming cafes and pubs can be discovered.
