History Eyarth Hall is believed to date from the late 16th century with origins as far back as 1100. Archaelogia Cambrionis tells us the Hall was once owned by the Lord of Chirk. Rice Williams, who built Eyarth Hall in 1593, was the personal assistant of Gabriel Goodman, who was the 5th Dean of Westminster Abbey during the reign of Queen Elizabeth I. Thereafter, the property was owned by the Wynne family and then by James Goodrich in the late 1870s, who was High Sheriff of Denbighshire. Prior to the current ownership, the Clarke family who founded the Youth Hostel Association were resident.

Description An outstanding Grade II Listed Elizabethan country house set in about 5.45 acres with spectacular, panoramic views along the Clwydian Range and is just 3 miles from the market town of Ruthin, 13 miles from Mold and 26 miles from Chester.

The hall has been sub-divided by the current owners. The vertical division is affected by a single, thick wall from the ground floor to the roof. Combined with the slope of the garden, the front of the property gains exceptional privacy from the rear property which comprises Eyarth Old Hall (Lot 2). The property as one or as two individual properties could be suitable for two generations of the same family to share, if required.

The hall is in part stone, half-timbered with some rendered elevations beneath a slate roof. Internally there is some fine timber work with exposed beams and paneling, plus several date plaques and a wig cupboard.

In brief the main hall comprises: entrance vestibule, reception hall, inner hall with a fine staircase, two reception rooms, fitted kitchen/breakfast room, cloakroom, first-floor split level landing, four bedrooms, two bathrooms, second-floor two bedrooms and attic room.

The attached cottage includes: four large bedrooms, two en-suite bathrooms and a family bathroom, recently installed kitchen/diner with Aga, living room with stone fireplace, study & w.c. (also listed separately as Lot 2). The cottage can be used as a separate individual property or can be used in connection with the main house. There are some elements of works required within the cottage to finish it off and therefore offers great scope and flexibility for the purchaser.
