Courtyard garden
Located on the outskirts of the popular North Wales village of Cefn Mawr, Old Bank Buildings is a striking example of exuberant 1900’s architecture with rich moulded local red brick detailing over a classically symmetrical Cefn stone facade, sitting under a re-slated roof.
Having been the subject of a recent comprehensive Architect led renovation, this former Bank now provides flexible and unique accommodation, set out over 5 storey's with the potential of adding a further garden room at basement level.
Character is not in short supply, with an abundance of period features including wall panelling, tiled floors and Victorian cast iron radiators, along with wooden sash windows and shutters and original stained glass doors.
Restored to its former glory by the current vendors, Old Bank Buildings has received an award from the Wrexham Area Civic Society for Architectural Conservation.
