Three properties from Flintshire and Wrexham will feature in a brand-new BBC series finding the best properties Wales had to offer.

Weatherman, drummer and fashionista Owain Wyn Evans is joined by interior designer Mandy Watkins, and architect Glen Thomas as they open front doors across the nation in the new series, Wales Home of The Year.

The six-part series will follow the judges as they visit five regions; the North East, Mid Wales, North West, South East, and South West.

They will explore a range of properties from terraced houses to bungalows, castles, country cottages, and everything in between.

 Each property will be marked out of 10, based on design, interior, and the sense of home each property displays. 

The first episode of the series takes the judges to North East Wales, where they start in a grade II listed home near Mold, Pont-Y-Mwynwr.

With large spacious rooms and light flooding in throughout, they are bowled over by the sense of calm they feel whilst inside the elegant property, decorated with a stunning neutral palette.

The judges then head to Buckley to visit a Victorian mid-terraced house that boasts an extraordinary interior behind an inconspicuous façade.
