A magnificent converted barn set amidst the rolling countryside of Flintshire has entered the market, boasting breathtaking views, extensive grounds, and facilities catering to both equestrian enthusiasts and families alike. On offer for £1.2 million, the property, known as Barn Fron Farm, is stationed on the edge of the charming village of Windmill and promises a unique blend of rural tranquillity and sophisticated living.
Unlike many country homes, Barn Fron Farm is not only visually stunning but eminently practical. Behind secure electric gates and at the end of a meandering private drive, the residence sits enveloped by four acres of beautifully landscaped land. The uninterrupted panoramic aspect stretches across the Dee Estuary, open countryside, and reaches as far as the Wirral peninsula, making outdoor spaces just as inviting as the interiors.
The grounds themselves are thoughtfully divided, offering much to both humans and horses. Four paddocks provide ample grazing and play area, with one benefitting from a roofed horse walker and a mènage—an ideal setup for those deeply involved in the equestrian world. An extended stable block, comprising six stables along with a solarium, plus additional stabling currently utilised for storage and tack, sits on a hardstanding area which can easily accommodate horse boxes or agricultural machinery.
For those with an eye on potential revenue streams, the property’s equestrian facilities, should they go unused, could be hired out, or even converted—with appropriate permissions—for alternative uses such as glamping. The abundance of parking space, along with a detached double garage, adds further flexibility. This garage could also potentially be transformed into another residence, subject to planning approval, further expanding the scope for multi-generational living or holiday letting.
Stepping indoors, the converted barn offers contemporary accommodation arranged over two wings, yet retains character features like exposed beams and vaulted ceilings. The primary living space is open-plan and multi-zoned; a modern kitchen with high-end appliances and wooden units, a central island and quartz worktops merges seamlessly with family and lounge areas. Floor-to-ceiling windows flood the home with natural light and frame that spectacular countryside view, ensuring it is always in sight.
This spacious main residence comprises four bedrooms, all generously proportioned and positioned to capture light and vistas unique to their orientation. The principal suite, occupying the upper floor, delights with its private balcony—a perfect vantage point to enjoy sunrises, evening drinks, or simply gaze at the ever-changing estuary skies. Additional features on the bedroom level include an ensuite cleverly arranged within the former barn’s roof space, and a shared ‘Jack and Jill’ bathroom linking bedrooms three and four.
Downstairs, a large utility room—almost the scale of a typical home kitchen—offers extra storage or scope for further development. There is also a versatile study area, ideal for remote working or homework, and a second kitchen and utility space, raising possibilities for creating an independent annexe or holiday accommodation, depending on the desires and vision of the new owners.
Externally, the stone and whitewashed façade of the house provides subtle hints to its origins as an agricultural building, and the expansive, mature gardens are more than sufficient for children and pets to indulge in outdoor fun. For those who enjoy entertaining, an enclosed terrace with decorative railings makes an enviable alfresco dining area, receiving sunlight throughout the morning and providing a year-round stage for hosting gatherings with a view.
Secluded yet not isolated, Barn Fron Farm offers peace and quiet without sacrificing convenience. Just a short drive away lies the historic market town of Holywell, with its variety of shops, supermarkets and direct access to key transport routes including the A55 North Wales Expressway.
Properties like this seldom become available, combining as they do lifestyle flexibility, income potential, and an awe-inspiring setting. Prospective buyers seeking a blend of country elegance, practicality, and potential would do well to consider this remarkable Flintshire home. For those interested, Barn Fron Farm is currently listed with Beresford Adams, Holywell.
