Detached house for sale in Sun Bank, Llangollen LL20

A stunning barn conversion situated on the Northern side of the Vale of Llangollen and quite simply one of the most superior we have ever encountered. In keeping with the history and era of the barn, the refurbishment has been sympathetically undertaken by the current owners and has encompassed many of its original features.

Open beam ceilings are a particularly spectacular feature here. A detached property, sitting in a spacious garden with tiered terraces up the side of the valley, offering increasingly improved vistas for miles and miles.
A yurt business, included in the sale, is currently in operation within the grounds, and provides a useful income.
Entry into the property is into the reception area, additionally used as an office by the current owners, featuring opposing doors to the front and rear. In a nod to the history of the property, you are immediately drawn to the floor and ceiling; the floor is finished with slate slabs, which we understand were recovered from the original property and the ceiling features fabulous open beams, a recurring theme in several of the rooms.
From the reception area you have three directions of travel. The first is a few steps up to the main living room, currently used as the main sitting room with an abundance of space for a substantial dining table. The central feature here, is the log burning stove which comfortably heats the room. The windows to two aspects offer views across the Vale of Llangollen.
Off the sitting room, you will find the snug (bedroom if required). A spacious room, offering striking views.
Passing back across the reception area, you are led into the considerably sized family kitchen. A well-equipped space offering a range of base, wall and drawer units, in addition to a central island and all of the appliances you would expect. Affording plenty of room too, for both a dining table and lounge seating. The flooring is laid to modern tile and boasts underfloor heating. Stunning open beam ceilings are worthy of a mention again too!
Beyond the kitchen is a utility room, a useful addition to any family home.
From here you will find a rear lobby with an external door and access to a bathroom comprising of a low-level W.C, wash basin and panel bath featuring an overhead shower.
The rear lobby affords stairs leading to a bedroom which provides an open beam ceiling and Velux window. An ideal bedroom for multi-generational living, given the proximity to the bathroom at the bottom of the stairs.
The third option from the reception area, is to take a few steps down to the main sleeping accommodation. A corridor runs across the property and provides access to the remaining bedrooms, three in total, serviced by two bathrooms. To the far end of the corridor, you will find the master bedroom, featuring open ceilings, in addition to patio doors leading to the external seating area. Adjacent to the master bedroom, is an incredibly voluptuous family bathroom. Where to start! Boasting a breath-taking sizeable double bathtub and walk-through waterfall shower, in addition to a twin basin and a toilet.
The next bedroom is a spacious double with views across the valley.
Finally, in this part of the house, you will find a spacious bedroom with accompanying en-suite, accessed from both the corridor and externally. Perfect for holiday accommodation or master bedroom with ensuite. The bedroom affords two original stone walls and beam ceilings with windows to two aspects. A stunning brass bathtub, positioned to enjoy the views across the valley is a particular feature in the en-suite. Additionally featuring a low-level W.C, wash basin and a multi-function shower. Modern tiles complete the picture.
Externally, the property boasts a range of gardens and land, including land that steps up the side of the valley and provides increasingly superior views the higher one travels. The final level offers a decked area.
Immediately outside the property is a purpose built and part enclosed gazebo, which not only provides external covered seating but alfresco dining and cooking too. The kitchen area is well equipped with a gas cooker and ovens.
