The property enjoys panoramic views across open countryside with no other property visible. Whilst offering seclusion the property is only 4 miles from the local village of Dolfor and only 8 miles from the market town of Newtown offering a full range of shops, amenities and facilities.

Mid Wales is renowned for its wildlife, fauna and country walks.
