They're at it again. Squeezing in more housing on Bryn Goodman. That, I suppose, is the trouble with having such large gardens in such a select area. But the phenomenon isn't reserved just for Jumbo Hill. Wrexham Road now has plenty of examples.
Back to Bryn Goodman and the latest planning application is for two detached houses to the rear of Llys Gwyn. This, readers will recall, is the recently refurbished house currently on the market for £695,000. Would you pay £700,000 for your wild back yard to be converted into housing?
Coppins will suffer the same fate as Llys Gwyn: Coppins is adjacent to rear development, this time for flats. Flats! Of all places, on Bryn Goodman!
The other interesting property, at £195,000, one that appeared on the market yesterday, is the 15th century grade II-listed former beauty salon on Well Street now seemingly converted into a private dwelling. It's quite tiny, quite a tight fit, too.
There was something of a false start her. The picture of the frontage shows that it was taken during the days when Rhuthun/Ruthin still had the active travel measures.
Within, there's much of character to note. Original beams to celling and walls; a fireplace comprising huge sandstone blocks with with wood lintel; and a roof space built for those at the time who tended to be much shorter than we are, today.
Meanwhile, the near neighbour called Coppins just above The Nooke still isn't sold. This was reduced on October 1st also to £695,000. Readers may recall this entered the market at £775,000 in January 2021. It was reduced upon passing to Cavendish Ikin to £725,000 and in October saw this further £30,000 knocked off. Then again, Cavendish Ikin is renowned for being dangerously optimistic, on the basis that, sometimes, they'll sell at an inflated price.
