DESCRIPTION Halls are delighted with instructions to offer Old Lower Hall, Bowling Bank, near Wrexham, for sale by private treaty. Old Lower Farm is a substantial 9 bedroom country house offering versatile accommodation with potential for modernisation with lovely gardens and grounds, enjoying river frontage and a truly unique location at the end of a long approach drive, surrounded by open countryside, a short distance from the hamlet of Bowling Bank. The property, which was predominantly re-built and fully refurbished between 1987 and 1989, provides extensive internal accommodation over three floors which is adaptable and offers potential for ground floor dependant relative accommodation, if required, or self-contained accommodation on the second floor. The property benefits from an oil fired central heating system, double glazed windows throughout (except doors) and is presented for sale with the fitted carpets included in the purchase price. Outside, the property is approached over a long single track drive serving only Old Lower Hall and agricultural land/buildings, providing a peaceful and private position leading to a gravelled parking area to the front and side of the property. There are lawns to the front, side and rear of the property and extensive river frontage on to the River Dee with fishing rights included. Adjacent to the gardens is a most useful multi-purpose outbuilding which has previously been used for stabling and wood storage. The sale of Old Lower Hall does, therefore, provide a very rare opportunity indeed for purchasers to acquire a substantial country house with potential for modernisation and adaptation to suit ones individual tastes and preferences in this idyllic rural location.
