The Property - A truly unique, beautifully converted, Grade II Listed, semi-detached barn conversion located in a quiet, semi-rural setting and part of a small, exclusive development in the hamlet of Pilleth, which is situated in the picturesque Mid Wales countryside close to the English/Welsh border.

Used for centuries as a hay/agricultural barn, this immaculate property, has been meticulously developed taking care and attention to every last detail internally and externally using respected local tradesman and high quality materials. Converted in 2006 by the current owners, Brook Barn has been built with luxurious living in mind. This spacious 3 bedroom dwelling oozes character and offers a pleasant blend of traditional and contemporary features from exposed stone walls and timbers to modern kitchen and bathrooms suites and oak finishings throughout. These include oak framed windows and external doors, an oak staircase and engineered oak flooring. Owing to its Grade II Listing and as part of the planning, outside the barn has kept its original look with the stone wall finish and timber cladding.

Accommodation-wise, the property is made up on the ground floor of a reception hall with stairs rising off to the first floor, a small rear hall with a door opening to the garden, a useful downstairs W.C, the spacious living room and the fully-equipped kitchen diner. On the first floor, a landing area gives way to 2 double bedrooms and the luxurious bathroom. A further door off the landing area leads into the master suite with its own upstairs reception room, which could be used/converted into a walk-in dressing room. Doors from this reception room open to a private en-suite shower room and the bedroom. In addition and unlike most conventional barn conversions, Brook Barn attracts plenty of natural light through skylights and the windows, which frame the stunning countryside views and also presents ample wardrobe and storage space.

Outside, the property has parking for numerous vehicles over a gravelled driveway. The property/parking area is approached through either a gate at the front or over a cattlegrid to the rear. To the side of the barn is a useful, sizeable storage shed, while to the rear there is a paved seating area and a beautiful, largely laid to lawn garden with hedged and fenced borders and flowered beds and includes a gentle brook, which runs through the garden and offers a pleasant background noise while taking in the stunning, far reaching views over the adjoining fields.

This magnificent, individually designed home is set in an idyllic setting. Rural, but by no means isolated, this tranquil location is perfect for those who seek the laid back lifestyle, worlds apart from the hustle and bustle of city life. The property is encompassed by countryside as far as the eye can see and is ideal for walkers and nature lovers.

The Location - Brook Barn is set within the semi-rural hamlet of Pilleth, just outside the village of Whitton, which is encompassed by stunning, scenic countryside with rolling hill tops as far as the eye can see. Pilleth and nearby surroundings are a haven for nature enthusiasts, ramblers and cyclists and is also close to the famous Offa's Dyke footpath. Steeped in history, Pilleth was also host to The Battle of Bryn Glas (also known as the Battle of Pilleth) which was a battle between the Welsh and English on 22 June 1402 and part of the Owain Glyndwr Rising of 1400-1415. Six Wellingtonia trees were planted on the hillside to indicate the battle site.

Pilleth is a friendly community which embraces a 'laid back', tranquil lifestyle. Rural, but certainly not inaccessible, the B4356 runs through Pilleth and nearby Whitton and leads east to the market town of Presteigne (5 miles) and north to the border town of Knighton (4 miles).

Both Presteigne and Knighton offer a wide range of independent retailers, supermarkets and regular farmers’ markets, together with a variety of cafés, restaurants and public houses. There are a number of community clubs and societies, together with many sporting and recreational facilities, including football, rugby, running and a golf club at Knighton. Both towns have excellent leisure centres and primary medical practices, while Knighton also boasts having a train station, offering daily connections to Shrewsbury and Swansea.

Educationally both towns offer pre-school groups and primary schools, while Presteigne also contains a secondary school, John Beddoes, which is part of Newtown High School. Presteigne is also recognized as a cultural centre, and has attracted many artists and musicians over the years. It is especially renowned for its nationally-famous Festival of Music and the Arts held every August and in 2024 was once again named as one of the best small towns to live in by the Sunday Times.
