Caerwys: Lakeside home worth £2.6 million for sale
Refined Properties have listed the four-bedroom home at Afonwen, near Caerwys, for a price of £2,600,000.
'Plas Cambria' has been 'beautifully designed' by its past owners, according to the estate agents who have hailed it as 'an exceptional family home'.
What truly sets this property apart from the rest is its wonderfully idyllic lakeside setting.
Additionally, it incorporates beautiful gardens, vast swathes of woodland and an 18-acre lake, all set in around 85 acres of stunning grounds.
Refined Properties say: "The house itself is surrounded on three sides by the forest and overlooks the lake and hills beyond; its difficult to imagine there's anywhere more beautiful.
"The property was completely re-built by previous owners who wanted to keep the original style that blends in beautifully with these gorgeous surroundings but has the benefits of a modern home.
"It has been designed to take full advantage of the lakeside setting. The main residence and Boat house with its own lake and woodlands enjoys complete seclusion amidst enchanting scenery in a sheltered valley at the foot of the Clwydian Hills."
Upon entering the property into the hall, you are greeted with a light and spacious feel.
With pine flooring and a custom-made pitch pine turned staircase with curved balustrade leading to the first-floor accommodation and gallery landing.
From the hall you will access the ground floor accommodation starting with the grand dining room.
This delightful room is entered through double doors which are cert-metric to the house entrance and the French doors that lead onto the garden inspired by Charles Mackintosh.
The kitchen/breakfast room is the heart of the house and flows nicely into a dining room with French doors onto the garden. The kitchen has been designed around a centre island with seating area and over-looks the garden.
Further accommodation to the ground floor includes a cloakroom, boot room, access to the large double garage, sizeable lounge with open fire and stone surround with views to the lake, a beautifully handcrafted Neville Johnson study which is perfectly designed to take in the views of the garden.

Accessed through the sunroom is the heated swimming pool which measures 11mx5m and has underwater lighting.
There is a six-seater hot tub and door leading to a steam room, as well as a large storage cupboard and plant room.
A spiral staircase takes you to a large room which is used as a gym by the present owners.
To the first-floor accommodation you can find fantastic living quarters, with a large family bathroom, five bedrooms three of which offer En-suite facilities and the master bedroom also has walk in his and her dressing room and a study.
Externally, the property sits in a magnificent position overlooking the lake and woodland beyond.
There is a covered seating area with lighting and barbecue area, as well as an artificial putting green for any keen golfers.
Steps down lead to a stunning Hartley Botanical Greenhouse and the grounds have been beautifully landscaped.
Refined Properties say: "This is a opportunity to live in this little slice of paradise, which is so far removed from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.
"The lake has been restored and is teaming with life, the woodland has been managed with the help of the Wildlife Trust - and that too is an absolute haven for wildlife, there is a private footpath right the way around the lake.
"It's truly idyllic and every day you spend there will be an absolute joy."
The final part of the The Fisheries is the Boat House.
Slightly set away from the main residence, this property was completely rebuilt in 2018 whilst still retaining the original look.
It offers an open plan kitchen/breakfast room and lounge with twin French doors leading onto balcony. Stairs lead down to a double bedroom and bathroom.
The property is used as a holiday let and has been phenomenally successful, most recently winning the Silver Medal in the Customer Choice category Of the Sykes Gems Annual Awards.
