A Heritage of Timeless Elegance
Enter through the pillared porch, where tiled floors and external lighting lead you into a welcoming entrance hall. A turned staircase rises gracefully, hinting at the elegance to come. The heart of the home is the expansive kitchen breakfast room. A stylish family hub boasting underfloor heating, Quartz and stained oak worktops and a large central island perfect for gatherings. Integrated appliances include a wine fridge, a Neff slide and hide oven, a Neff Combo Oven/Microwave with a Neff warming drawer underneath and a freestanding Rangemaster all help elevate the culinary experience, while French doors open into the orangery. Bathed in light, this delightful space over looks the landscaped gardens, inviting relaxation or entertaining in style. The open Living and Dining Room offers great flow and exudes warmth with its impressive open fire on a slate hearth, framed by an Oak surround and a walk-in box bay window with fitted shutters. The Dining Room has French doors opening onto a front terrace, ideal for al fresco dining. A versatile snug with a multi-fuel burner and dual-aspect windows provides a cosy retreat, while the study, accessible from both the lounge and kitchen, offers flexibility as a home office or relaxation space, complete with patio doors to the rear. Ascend to the first floor, where the master bedroom suite awaits as a private sanctuary. Flooded with light from an almost floor-to-ceiling window with a stunning outlook, this spacious retreat features fitted shutters, a generous dressing room with fitted railings and shoe storage, and an impressive en-suite. Three additional bedrooms, each brimming with character, provide ample space for family or guests, serviced by a luxurious family shower room with a drench-head shower and a bathroom featuring a freestanding claw-foot bath.
Derwen Hall extends its allure with a breath-taking two bedroom, detached, converted chapel. Recently renovated with Oak features, cast-iron radiators, and bi-folding doors opening onto a private south facing patio, this stunning space offers open-plan living, a fitted kitchen and a ground floor shower room.

SELLER INSIGHT
How long have you owned the property?
“Since Sept 2011.”
What attracted you to this specific house and location?
“We regularly visited Llangollen, and the surrounding villages. We wanted a house with close proximity to Llangollen but not in town. We wanted a rural location but with everything within 10 mins driving to Town. Easy proximity to main routes, easy access to motorways, was also a factor for work. The fact that the property is in a slightly elevated position, the land on different levels, with fabulous views across the valley, ticked the boxes. Derwen Hall is in an area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, with fabulous views across to the UNESCO World Heritage Pontycysyllte Aquaduct, which can be seen from the side of the house. We wanted a period home, a house of stature, set in a manageable amount of land, and Derwen Hall is certainly an impressive period property. The house standing on 1 acre, and a further half acre of woodlands, which ensured we had the privacy we required and met all our requirements. I fell in love with the house immediately.”
What would you like to tell parents about the benefits of raising children here?
“Derwen Hall is a fabulous home to raise a family. Plenty of space for a growing family, woodlands for the children to explore, apple and blackberry picking in the orchard at the rear of the property, all in the safety of private, extensive grounds. We raised 6 children here. There is further accommodation in the chapel, suitable for teenagers or elderly parents to stay. A large multipurpose garden room, used currently as a gym and games room with a large outside terrace and garden.”
What can you tell us about the history of the property and how it has been adapted since you’ve owned it?
“Derwen Hall was formerly a Georgian Gentlemen’s residence, dating back to 1800. It was once owned by a Scottish businessman by the name of John Maginnis who resided at the property circa 1880 and ran the Australia Silica and Brickworks locally. All the surrounding land at one-time belonged to Derwen Hall.”
Who do you think would be the ideal next owner?
“Derwen Hall is a stunning family home, a safe space to raise children. A great space for entertaining. Patios leading directly outside from the kitchen and orangery for that morning sun, and a further patio leading off the home office which is a sun trap in the afternoon sun.”
What’s your favourite room and why?
“The breakfast room off the kitchen, with the dual aspect windows, glorious morning sun streams through that room and it just has a relaxing feel to it. A great space to just hang out, read or listen to music.”
What do you love about the house the most now?
“I love that Derwen Hall stands proud, I have spent the last 2 years, sympathetically and tastefully decorating the house inside and out to showcase the house at its best ready for market. Ready for the next family who will hopefully love it like I have.”
What do you love about the local community?
“Great neighbours, without really knowing you have neighbours. There aren’t often properties for sale in Garth. People tend to live there for a very long time. Garth Primary School is not too far up the hill, and there is also a children’s park. Fantastic places to walk. A walk up the Panorama is a must. The Aussie Rooster pub is at the bottom of the hill, and a few other pubs within easy walking distance. A regular bus service at the bottom of the hill goes in both directions. Not far away is the Ruabon Train station.”
What you’ll miss most?
“Too upsetting to list.”
