The estate is located in Flintshire in north east Wales with Cheshire to the east, Denbighshire to the West and Chester within easy reach. The area is rich in history and culture with King Edward I ordering work to begin on Flint Castle in 1276, a site of fierce battles between the Celts and Romans, British and Saxons, and Welsh and Normans. Hawarden enjoys two castles, one the home of William Gladstone, four times British Prime Minister. Other notable attractions in this wonderfully scenic area are Ewloe Castle, Bailey Hill in Mold and Point of Ayr lighthouse. Mold is a bustling market town famous for its theatre, markets and June carnival and surrounded by an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The highest peak in the Clwydian Range boasts stunning views of six counties. The nearby Snowdonia National Park offers sensational, rugged scenery, waterfalls and hiking trails to the top of Mount Snowdon. Guests staying at Argall House enjoy an endless list of castles and stately homes to visit and the young are spoilt with many exciting, family friendly attractions.
Whilst retaining attractive ancient features such as exposed beams, Argall House is bang up to date with gorgeous, contemporary bathrooms and two stylish kitchens. The atrium is drowned in natural light, a cavernous space full of atmosphere and boasting a gabled roof and giant glass doors that lead to the private walled garden. Argall House is warm and toasty with central heating, underfloor heating and a welcome log burning fire in the lounge. The lounge is the perfect spot to relax after a mountain walk or a day enjoying views along the Wales Coast path. Modern sofas and chairs sit around the fire where you can enjoy glasses of your favourite tipple while planning the next day’s activities. The house offers two kitchens, both equipped with the very best of appliances. The large yellow kitchen in the West Wing is fabulous with a large range cooker, an American style fridge freezer and a huge island. There is a handy utility room next door with a second dishwasher, microwave and laundry facilities. The kitchen is connected to a beautiful dining room for all guests. There is a smaller kitchen in the East Wing, ideal for guests staying in the East Wing rooms and wanting to make an early morning cup of coffee or a late night snack.
Argall House boasts four generous sized bedrooms, with beds beautifully dressed with luxurious Italian Frette linen, exquisite throws and scatter cushions and gorgeous duck feather pillows and duvets. The bedrooms are accessed from opposite ends of the atrium making Argall House ideal for two families or a multi-generational family. The bedrooms are all on the first floor with lovely round windows offering delightful garden and estate views. Two bedrooms are located in the West Wing up a stone staircase, one overlooking the walled garden and the other with views to the front.
