Escape to this elegantly classic North Wales retreat in central Ruthin, sat just outside the picturesque Clwydian Range aonb. Tucked away in this medieval market town centre, a stone’s throw away from Ruthin Castle and national centre for applied arts, Ruthin Craft Centre, this unique cottage is perfect for those looking to escape to a place where they can enjoy the outdoors, have the convenience of a bustling town on the doorstep and appreciate the luxury interiors of a beautifully renovated Grade II listed property. The town itself offers quality local pubs, eateries and boutiques and you can very easily visit neighbouring Mold (10.5mls), Denbigh (8mls), Llangollen (15.7mls) & Wrexham (18mls) for the day. Nestled in the Vale of Clwyd, Ruthin is surrounded by an abundance of stunning opportunities for walking and cycling - from hill walking on Offa’s Dyke to local footpaths through woodlands and riverways and is a cycling haven - with both road and mountain bike routes on the doorstep. You can venture through Snowdonia National Park (20mls), experience the thrill of ZipWorld (26mls) or take a slower pace and relax on sandy beaches of North Wales (circa 20mls) or visit the historic walled City of Chester (25mls); making it the perfect base to explore North Wales and its borders.
Stepping into the cottage from the front door, you're immediately welcomed by the quirky, boutique style that awaits you throughout the property. A large functional entrance hall with funky patterned tiles provides ample space for you to kick off the outdoor attire before moving on into cosy living spaces - there is also a separate downstairs WC here with a hand basin. The living and dining room represents what you'd expect from a cosy traditional cottage of this era; original beams, a log burning fire and kerbside Georgian sash windows where you could easily spend a slow Sunday afternoon perched in one of the reading chairs, watching the world go by on the narrow streets of Ruthin. Penguin book wallpaper and the brightly coloured soft furnishings bring a sense of fun to this room, and create a place you want to gather in for an evening of conversation, to play games around the coffee table or to simply catch-up on your favourite Netflix documentary on the Smart TV. Before heading into what feels like a very traditional Welsh farmhouse kitchen, there is a spacious pantry full of additional cooking equipment, an extra fridge/freezer and ample space for food storage - perfect for those evenings of entertaining with loved ones. Standing on the original quarry tiles in the kitchen, with a solid oak beam, you get a true feeling for the age of this heritage property. A double Rangemaster takes centre stage with a cohesive blue tile, welsh dresser and decorative ornaments. The kitchen is fully equipped with everything you will need should you wish to entertain and cook up a real feast of local produce sourced from the town - a traditional oak wood dining table makes perfect space for 6. From the entrance hall, head upstairs where even more luxury character awaits in the form of 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. The first bedroom offers a super king-size zip & link bed along with a sofa, which on request can be made into an additional single bed. This bedroom benefits from its own en-suite by way of a wet room style shower room on one side of the bed, and separate WC on the other. Follow the narrow landing to what's known as the “Drunken Sailor’s room’ - due its sloping original wood flooring. (Don’t worry, the bed is perfectly level!) This king size bedroom is serviced by a beautiful character bathroom filled with exposed beam work, high ceilings and a relaxing roll top cast iron bath. Whilst there is a shower head on the bath, you also have a separate walk in shower and WC. Over on the other side of the landing, you'll find the largest bedroom of the 3; a grand room with stunning statement wallpaper and a real designer feel. Relax in another super-king size bed with its own bathroom and separate WC. Soak into the second roll top bath of the property with incredible views over the garden, rooftops of historic Ruthin and Moel Famau in the distance. You also have the luxury of a large separate walk in shower.
Head out through the large back door in the kitchen to your own private patio, which makes up part of the beautifully kept larger garden space that you'll share with the owner. Your patio is home to a small BBQ with outside dining table and chairs, perfect for al fresco dining in the summer sun. Enjoy the peace and quiet of this beautiful green space, listening out for birdsong and wildlife. A quaint pergola seat makes the perfect reading spot, or simply marvel at the peaks of the Clwydian Range in the distance. There is also a handmade treehouse-cum-climbing frame in the garden for the younger ones in the family to use.
