Gardens and grounds
Pen Lan is located part way along a country lane a short distance from the village of Halkyn. The property benefits from a large parking area at the opposing side of the lane to the property, this area is neatly tarmacked and affords space for numerous vehicles to be securely parked.

The parking area also provides entry into the garage, which has an up-and-over door and is fitted with an inspection pit, with the garage also hosting an adjoining lean-to storeroom.

The property itself is accessed via double timber gates that open onto a gravel drive, providing entry into both the main property and the detached annex.

In terms of gardens, the property is particularly blessed. A large patio adjoins the dining room making it a perfect place for summer dining.

A set of steps rise to a neatly manicured lawn which has been meticulously cared for by the current owners. The garden is predominantly laid to lawn and has numerous planted areas sporadically positioned throughout, hosting established trees, shrubs and plants. Within the garden is a paved and hardstanding area, hosting a green house and summer house with a path leading to a rockery garden.

Adjoining the gardens is one of the property's paddocks, accessed via a gateway directly off the lane as well as an opening within the garden, this paddock is laid to permanent pasture and secured by a mixture of stock proof fencing and established hedgerows.

An additional area of garden is located next to the garage and is also laid to lawn. This part of the garden is planted with trees and hedgerows with the lawn gently sloping to an area of woodland. From here, the woodland steeply slopes down to a wooded dell, which marks the boundary of the property.

The final paddock is located a short distance further along the lane, to the left and is accessed via a gated entrance. This paddock is again laid to pasture and gently undulates to the boundary, which is a mixture of stock-proof fencing and established hedgerows.
