Offering a wealth of amenities, including restaurants, cafes, Gladstone's highly acclaimed library, Hawarden's popular 18 hole golf course and some of the area's most sought-after primary and secondary schools, Hawarden Village is within easy reach of commuter links, such as the A55 Expressway and M56/53 Motorways, allowing swift passage further into North Wales, towards Chester City, Wirral, Liverpool or Manchester, and to the local business and industrial parks in Chester & Deeside.

Originally built in 1673 and Grade II listed since 1994, in 2006 this property was subject to a substantial yet sympathetic restoration project and, thankfully, much of the original features were preserved and traditional features, such as the sash windows, replaced. In addition, many new, more modern features were introduced, such as a mains pressure hot water system, underfloor heating to both floors and smart lighting and a security alarm.
