A SIMPLY breath-taking Jacobean mansion is currently on the market in North Wales.
The 14-bedroom Gwysaney Hall has been brought to the market by Chester-based estate agents Savills.
Located in Rhosesmor, Flintshire, the property is up for sale for £2.5 million.
The magnificent Grade II mansion offers incredible views, splendid gardens, two further cottages and land.
Gwysaney Hall is undoubtedly one of North Wales’ finest and most historic houses.
The property stands in a superb elevated location with far reaching views and is surrounded by 27 acres of traditional gardens, formal lawns, an award-winning Pinetum, and four paddocks.
At its heart is much of the original Hall, built in 1603. The Hall has been in the present owner’s family for over 450 years and is very much a family home.
The historic front door is believed to have been damaged by a canon ball in the English Civil War.
A charming inner hall has a magnificent stone arch leading to the staircase hall and to the panelled billiard room/library.
The central landing leads to a large bedroom with a date stone of 1603 and a window seat overlooking the front park.
At the western end of the Hall is the former staff wing.
Included in the sale of Gwysaney Hall are two three-bedroom cottages.
The Chapel Garden includes a former chapel once attached to the Hall, with original walls and stone mullioned windows; features of the gardens include a Yew arch, Rose Garden with paths and box hedges, flower borders, stone walls and a backdrop of specimen trees.
The Hall enjoys kitchen gardens within the former walled garden, with fruit cages, a potting shed, two greenhouses and brick walled cold frames.
From here, a gateway leads to a grass courtyard flanked by Garden Cottage, Stable Cottage and through to garages and outbuildings, and a large parking area to the rear of the house flanked by flowering borders.
Within the parkland approach to the house are paddocks which have been used for the grazing of horses. An all-weather arena adds to the attraction for those with equestrian interests.
Those interested in the property, should arrange a viewing through Savills on 01244 955081.
