Description

Rhosllanerchrugog is a village located in the county borough of Wrexham. The entire built-up area, which includes Penycae Ruabon and Cefn-mawr, has a population of approximately 26,000. Rhosllanerchrugog is renowned for its rich music heritage and has its own concert hall and events venue: The Stiwt Theatre. Wrexham city centre is 4 miles away, National Trust Erddig is 3.5 miles distant and the Clwydian Range & Dee Valley Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty is 2 miles east.

The village lies just off the A483 which provides road connections to Wrexham and Chester northbound and to the A5 southbound. The A5 eastbound links to routes through Snowdonia National Park and to the North Wales Coast. Ruabon is the closest train station, from which rail services are run by Transport for Wales.

The property is a detached building of brick construction with cream painted elevations and a pitched tile roof. It briefly comprises:

The Black Lion trades as a wet-led community local. It hosts live music gigs, karaoke evenings and quiz and bingo nights, and also supports pool and darts teams. Our client advises net sales are in the region of £6,000 per week. He has recently invested in the refurbishment of the first floor owners’ accommodation and undertaken external building work.
