GOLLY FARM GOLLY, BURTON, ROSSETT, WREXHAM, LL12 0AL

A Georgian detached farmhouse occupying an idyllic rural location on the Cheshire/Wales border. Golly Farm provides a wonderful family home which has been sympathetically restored by the current owners to a very high standard and yet retains a wealth of character features. The owners have also built up a successful ‘holiday lettings’ business which now incorporates two ‘5 star’ holiday cottages graded by ‘Visit Wales’ together with a separate studio and an additional cottage. The accommodation briefly comprises: dining hall with wood burning stove, drawing room with open fireplace, study, cloakroom/WC, large farmhouse style kitchen with double oven AGA and dining/sitting area, conservatory with stone flagged floor and underfloor heating, utility room, landing, bedroom one with en-suite bathroom, bedroom two, bedroom three, bedroom four/dressing room and family bathroom. The property benefits from many original sash windows and replacement timber framed double glazed windows. Oil fired central heating.

To the front of Golly Farm there is lawned garden with pathway enclosed by a mature hedgerow. To the rear there is large lawned garden with a flagged patio, small orchard and a number of mature trees. There is also a large paddock with pond extending to approximately 6.5 acres. To the front there is a gated driveway with parking for 6 cars. There is also a second gated driveway with parking for 8 further cars, a useful range of outbuildings incorporating a workshop, two stables, drying area and outside WC. There is also a magnificent greenhouse dating back to 1904 with two productive grapevines. If you are looking for a period property in a rural yet convenient location and are perhaps seeking an alternative lifestyle, then we would strongly urge you to view.

LOCATIONGolly Farm is situated amidst picturesque countryside close to the villages of Rossett (3 miles) and Higher Kinnerton (3 miles). Rossett is well served by schools, village shops and services with a local store, post office, pharmacy, doctors’ surgery and dentist. The village, being close to Wrexham and Chester (both with railway stations), also has two popular hotels: Llyndir Hall Hotel and Rossett Hall Hotel, a converted mid-18th Century house. Local public houses include The Golden Lion and The Alyn, both centrally in Rossett. The village of Kinnerton is located on the Welsh/Cheshire border and provides day to day shopping facilities, pubs, restaurants and a primary school. The Broughton Retail Park with its Tesco superstore, newly opened cinema complex and range of High Street shopping outlets is also within easy reach. Golly Farm is ideally placed within the vicinity of the all girl’s Queens School Chester and the co-educational King’s School Chester, both of which are renowned for their high standards of excellence of academic achievement.

Road communications are excellent, being close to the A483 Wrexham by-pass which connects to the Chester Southerly by-pass facilitating access to the national motorway network. The Wrexham Industrial Estate, Chester Business Park and Deeside Industrial Park are all within daily commuting distance, as are the larger centres of Liverpool and Manchester which are served by international airports.
