A WELL-KNOWN house located in the Wrexham area has been put up for sale.

An opportunity has come up for a potential buyer to acquire a 'local icon', that is known locally as "The House on Stilts".

'Cilgoed', listed for a price of £325,000, the home comprises a highly individual and spacious elevated modernistic house, which is distinctively set beneath a cantilever butterfly roof.

The property has sheltered balconies which enjoy rural outlooks over farmland to the rear, whilst beneath there is a large under-croft area given to a large workshop and garage with utility areas including two walk-in stores and a boiler room.

Known locally as "The House on Stilts", the property was built as a one-off design in the 1970's beneath a radical butterfly roof design incorporating large windows for natural light.

The living space is heated under floor from an oil-fired boiler and has two well-proportioned reception rooms of a lounge and dining room.

There is an extensively fitted modern kitchen and a bathroom with a four piece suite including separate shower.

TOP STORIES 

There are two double bedrooms, which both have fitted wardrobes.

Planning permission has been granted to extend the property with in-keeping architecture to add a third bedroom and an en-suite shower room and porch with a further single garage below.

The property occupies ample gardens, which are fully landscaped with low maintenance in mind. Within the rear garden there is a free-standing double-glazed conservatory, which is amid the slate and gravel beds and to the side on a slightly lower level, a Japanese themed garden with coloured slate 'river' feature.

The gardens incorporate specimen planting with Monkey-Puzzle, Acer (Japanese Maple) and New Zealand Bottle-Brush together with Yucca and fruit trees.

This home is described as a 'truly individual property' by the seller.
