Mold Road, CH7

Berry and George Estates was formed to make selling and buying your home much easier. To start with, we open 7 days a week, we're also available out of hours and we'll provide you with updates when your home is available on the market to be sold and once a sale has been agreed.

We completely understand just how stressful selling and buying can be, but we've found, with the right family environment behind you all the way, you'll see just how much easier it will be for you.


If you need a large house and love entertaining friends and family then get your tickbox ready because your pen is about to run out of ink!

At the foot of the Wylfa Hill and just a short walk to the petrol station, which is useful in that it sells everything you need on a day to day basis plus there is a Starbucks, sits what I always regarded as a selection of large and imposing new-build homes. Judge this home once you've had a look around it for real, and not because you know it sits just off a main road. You won't even notice it when you're there.

It is a testament to both the standard of the build and the timeless design that they look as fresh today as when they really were new. It is here where we find the very impressive detached family dwelling called 'The Grange'.

Broad wooden gates providing privacy from prying eyes open onto a large parking area to the front of the home, terminating at the doors to the attached double garages. To the left of the garages is a stretch of lawn accessed past a concealed swinging seat and where the lawn continues around the entire home, but more of that later.

Beneath a canopy style porch, the white UPVC front door has additional lights to either side maximizing the light in the imposing hallway, with its beautiful turned wooden staircase. Closing this door behind me I was amazed at the sudden silence because generally speaking, having a home situated adjacent to a road carries a penalty in the form of noise but yet in here, it is all but inaudible.

Turning left off the hall, a pair of fully glazed doors welcomes us into the main lounge.

You can't quite gauge just how large this room is until you look at the massive furniture placed in here, and then with all the accompanying extra bits and pieces, you then realise just how large and comfortable a space this is. It's kept brightly illuminated by the box style bay window to the front and the massive French doors with their twin additional side lights which open onto the rear lawn. The room's main focal point is in the form of an eye catching fireplace and the living flame gas fire it contains.

Moving back past the front door on our right is the formal dining room, which if I am honest, could easily justify being called a dining hall, such is its size. It currently contains a table that could accommodate a dozen hungry souls and yet there is still room enough for additional furniture including in this instance, a large fridge/freezer that looks almost lost in one corner......when you see the size of the utility room, you'll question why is there a large fridge freezer in here?? But hey, that's their choice remember!

Through another pair of fully glazed doors is the huge conservatory with an attractive and practical ceramic floor, where the present owner has a hand built wooden bar, which they will be taking but shows what great use this space can be used for. A further set of French doors open onto the garden with its paved patio area.

Set into the hillside with far-reaching views over Wales, the garden features a set of fairy steps leading to an upper terrace where a covered gazebo looks down on the home and rather reminded me of photos of Charles' and Diana's honeymoon at Treetops in Kenya. See? I said it was impressive...

Back into the hall and the next door reveals the ever useful downstairs cloakroom. With its stylish and attractive mosaic floor this contains the expected compliment of a lavatory and highly stylized glass bowl hand basin, with a chrome towel rail to finish it all off.

After this we move into the kitchen where once again, this home twisted my conception of size, so large it is! A dark grey ceramic floor is complimented by high quality fitted units filling two walls and containing every conceivable integrated appliance dedicated to making your life easier. Pride of place however, must go the impressive dual fuel range type cooker topped with its five-burner gas hob. Yes, it is a huge house but it remains a certainty that every resident will get fed, and in some style too.

To demonstrate the scale of this room, at the far end sits an extending dining table capable of seating six in comfort but it looks almost lost in the distance, meaning that, should you favour a central island for additional workspace, then accommodating it would not be a problem.

Off the kitchen is a spacious and comprehensively equipped utility room with floor and wall mounted storage units and a useful sink, and a back door opening into the garden beside the conservatory.

Moving back into the hall, next to the kitchen is the door into a secondary sitting room, overlooking the rear lawn. This is somewhere which in many lesser houses would be termed 'the lounge' but such is the scale of this particular house, it is offered as an added extra, its actual use to be determined by your own needs. An office, games room, library or anything else you fancy, although an indoor squash court may be pushing things a bit far...

Going upstairs to the spacious landing, to our right is the smallest of the bedrooms.

This is to be thought of as a single room though I suspect this is only in contrast to the size of the others, as I have seen many smaller double rooms on offer. It is currently being used as an office and a spacious office at that. It also has built-in wardrobes, so less floor space is wasted.

Beside here and overlooking the rear, is most definitely another double room, pleasant and airy with the added benefit of a large fitted wardrobe supplementing the free standing model already in situ.

Passing the stairs once more where the landing forms a 'T' junction, on the right is the third bedroom, overlooking the parking area and featuring its own en-suite bathroom. Luxury for your guests that come and stay or one lucky child or even an elderly relative. Fitted to a high standard this contains the expected complement of a pedestal hand basin, lavatory and walk in shower cubicle with electric shower.

Adjacent to here is the very generous sized family bathroom, which continues the theme of understated luxury. With its ceramic flooring and fully tiled walls it offers a stylish pedestal hand basin, lavatory and a very decadent looking oval shaped corner bath, perfect for relaxing with a bottle of chilled Chablis and a good book (I'd imagine).

The next double room (Why do I say that, they're all doubles...) has the added benefit of not one but two large fitted wardrobes meaning that however lavish your tastes, storage will never be an issue, oh and it leaves you plenty of floor space for whatever else you may require in the bedroom.

And finally, the principal bedroom offers even more wardrobes, making a hostile takeover of Marks & Spencer a real possibility should the mood take you. It is a mark of the sheer size of the room when the 'SUPER KING' sized bed, with its twin bedside cabinets, fails to dominate the space, leaving masses of room to move about comfortably, however clumsy you are.

Off here another door reveals the en-suite providing the space we have by now come to expect of this home. Fully tiled from floor to ceiling this contains a unitary hand basin with additional storage beneath, lavatory and an over-sized shower cubicle with a mains fed shower, ensuring a constant temperature and pressure.

**PLEASE NOTE** Photos are taken with a WIDE ANGLE CAMERA so PLEASE LOOK at the 3D & 2D floor plans for approximate room sizes as we don't want you turning up at the home and being disappointed:

All in all, this is the perfect home for a large family or, a smaller family with antisocial tendencies. It provides room to accommodate virtually any configuration of family members spread over multiple generations or alternatively, gives an astonishing level of luxury to lesser numbers because as we all know, space is the one luxury you cannot fake. The sheer convenience of its location is hard to fault and the home's condition is exemplary, being somewhere you could simply move into tomorrow and if you were to do so, I for one would be very jealous.
