How long have you owned the property?
We have owned the property for four years. We would not be moving but my husband s work has changed, and he now works somewhere different.
What attracted you to this specific house and location?
We were attracted to this house because of the two cottages one for each grown up son , the complete privacy yet the proximity to the mainland and the A55. Also, the history of the house, room sizes and natural light in them as well as all the outside space.
What would you like to tell parents about the benefits of raising children here?
The local school is amazing and has won awards. The classroom sizes are tiny and the teaching quality fantastic. It s like a big family. Every child is known personally by every staff member.
The house is 6 minutes to the nearest beach. The grounds are amazing for children to play at all ages. There is space for sports equipment, boats climbing gear, horses etc. Underneath the coach house is the perfect teenager hangout whilst still being a safe space.
What can you tell us about the history of the property and how it has been adapted since you ve owned it?
There is a book that has been written about the history of this house. The house is 400 years old this year. The gardens of Henblas are very special indeed. It is famous for the abundance of snowdrops in the spring followed by the carpets of bluebells in the woods.
Who do you think would be the ideal next owner?
I would love to see a big noisy family as the new owners of Henblas. It would suit a couple or early retirees too, but the space is here for a larger family including multigenerational living.
What s your favourite room and why?
My favourite room is the kitchen. My husband loves to do his crossword in the morning room with the sun shining in through the windows.
Memorable remarkable event?
The previous owners hosted their daughter s wedding in a marquee on the lawn which I think is really special. We have had numerous parties here inside and outside. It s the perfect family house.
What do you love about the house the most now?
I love the room sizes, big but not too big. I love the natural light that floods into each room. I love that the house is unique and nobody else has anything even remotely similar. I love the peace and quiet. I love the nature, buzzards, kites, owls I particularly love lying in bed at night listening to them calling each other and woodpeckers. We have red squirrels, hedgehogs and an abundance of other animals.
What do you love about the local community?
The community is great, and our neighbours have become our friends.
What you ll miss most?
I will miss the house and gardens tremendously, but I love the area so much that I won t be moving too far away.
