Description
This historic estate, known as Downing Hall, offers a unique opportunity to acquire a site with endless potential in North Wales. The property, built in 1627, has a rich history and was once the birthplace of celebrated naturalist Thomas Pennant. Although the hall was destroyed by fire and demolished in 1953, the site still retains historic features such as cellars, a Georgian plunge pool, and a well. The estate spans 8.5 acres of ancient woodland and includes a private lake, meadow, and an established borehole, which could be used for a commercial spring water bottling business. The site also offers potential for a range of ventures, including a bespoke family home, glamping or wellness retreat, or a commercial fishing lake with overnight accommodation. Located near the A55, the property offers excellent access to North Wales and beyond, while retaining a private and secluded atmosphere.
