Description

Set in an enviable elevated position at the end of a peaceful country lane, Fernside is a charming, detached country cottage nestled within approximately two acres of magnificent private grounds.

Surrounded by idyllic gardens, a grass paddock, and tranquil woodland, this rare gem combines quintessential country character with outstanding future potential and superb connectivity to the A55.

Rich in traditional warmth and period charm, the accommodation opens with a bright, dual-aspect kitchen featuring a breakfast bar, integrated Whirlpool oven, and pleasant garden views.

At the heart of the home lies a cosy living room, complete with exposed original ceiling beams and a striking brick fireplace housing a log-burning stove set upon a slate hearth.
A separate hallway leads into a three-piece bathroom incorporating a discreet utility space, while a bright rear conservatory captures wrap-around views across the surrounding landscape.

Upstairs, two generous double bedrooms showcase high ceilings, original timber doors, built-in storage, and far-reaching rural vistas.

Beyond its current charm, Fernside presents an extraordinary opportunity for expansion, benefiting from approved planning permission for a substantial two-storey extension. The current plans allow prospective buyers to significantly enlarge the ground-floor living area with a stylish new day room, upgraded utility/WC space, and an expanded kitchen layout.

On the first floor, the design introduces additional bedroom and dressing space alongside enhanced landing and bathroom arrangements, offering a clear path to create a bespoke family residence.

The property's extensive grounds are exceptionally well equipped for outdoor and lifestyle pursuits, particularly for equestrian enthusiasts. Newly installed in late 2025 by Cheshire Stables, the purpose-built stable yard includes two high-quality stables and a dedicated wash bay/storage area, set on a durable hard-standing base with rubber matting inside.

Complementing the equestrian setups is a traditional stone outbuilding with a newly replaced roof (2026), formerly a cow stall, retaining classic character features that make it an ideal candidate for conversion into a home office, creative studio, tack room, or business space, subject to necessary consents.

Occupying a secluded spot within the picturesque hamlet of The Nant, Fernside offers the perfect balance of rural escape and day-to-day convenience. While enjoying complete privacy and scenic tranquillity, the property remains within a short drive of local shops, cafes, schools, and essential amenities, with the A55 Expressway providing seamless access across North Wales and to major commercial hubs.

The property benefits from Double Glazing & LPG Heating.
