SITUATION
Station House enjoys a secluded location and is a short walk from the village of Gresford which offers an excellent range of shops and services. The A483 by-passes the village and provides fast connections to both Wrexham and Chester, together with most of the major centres of the North West and North Wales.

The house itself sits in a pretty wooded valley and from the upstairs Lounge and second floor Master Bedroom Suite there are excellent views across the Vale of Gresford.

THE PROPERTY
As the name suggests, Station House has been created from the former Gresford Halt on the Chester to Shrewsbury railway line. The original property has been greatly altered and extended over the years and now provides superb and spacious accommodation ideal for a family. The improvements which have been undertaken incrementally have been completed to a high standard and the property is attractively decorated and presented. Work on an indoor Pool and Leisure Suite, which is intended to be integral to the house, has been undertaken, but not completed.

It would be a relatively simple job for this project to be finished off by a purchaser to their own specification and requirements. Alternatively, the pool could be filled in and the space put to other uses.

Separate to the house there is a Detached Garage Block with accommodation over and adjoining car ports, all of which provides extremely useful storage space. A further detached building at the entrance to the property is used as a self-contained office with a single Garage/Workshop below and lean-to store to one side. These additional buildings would make Station House an ideal property for a purchaser looking to run a business from home or possibly looking for space for a dependant relative or older child seeking a level of independence.
