Pen Y Ball, Holywell, CH8

This is a home that combines character, space, modern updates, and future potential, all in a private and prestigious setting, ready to welcome its next chapter! Viewings are highly recommended to appreciate the scale, setting, and potential of this impressive property.

Reid and Roberts are proud to present this unique and spacious four-bedroom detached home (with potential for a fifth bedroom), set within approximately two-thirds of an acre in a private and highly sought-after location off Pen Y Ball Hill. Tucked away via a private driveway and offered with no onward chain, this is a rare opportunity for families, developers, or those seeking space, privacy, and future potential.

The property has undergone extensive modernisation including newly fitted ceilings, a new front door, partial replacement of windows, newly installed French and patio doors. Internally, the layout has been reconfigured to create a stylish downstairs shower room and the master bedroom has been extended into the former fifth bedroom, creating a spacious walk-through / dressing area or office and new flooring. Externally, upgrades include a newly laid paved pathway flanked by feature dwarf brick walls with decorative lion statues leading to the front door, and the beginnings of a patio area to the side and rear, offering scope for further development of outdoor living space.

The property features extensive gardens wrapping around the home, a detached brick-built single and double garage, and a generous tarmac driveway with parking for multiple vehicles. The rear garden, once home to a tennis court, offers exceptional space and privacy, with panoramic views across the Dee Estuary. Although currently overgrown, the garden offers incredible potential to restore or redesign.

A key highlight is the development potential for two additional dwellings on-site (subject to planning permission), making this a truly exciting opportunity for investment or multi-generational living.
