Penstrowed, Caersws, Powys

Pen-Y-Garn Cottage

The front door opens directly into the living room, where you're instantly immersed in the cottage’s 200-year-old character. Exposed stone walls, original timber beams, and traditional quarry tile flooring all tell the story of its rich heritage. A large wood-burning stove sits warmly in the corner, creating a cosy focal point and perfect spot to unwind. Two additional rooms are found on the ground floor—one currently used by the vendors as a kitchen, and the other serving as a practical storage area. A wooden staircase leads up to the first-floor bedroom, which features two front-facing windows and ample space to accommodate a double bed. There is a composting toilet and water butts to collect water for the garden.

Bothy

A separate stone bothy measuring 4.25m x 4.17m sits nearby, featuring dual-aspect windows that fill the space with natural light—offering potential for a variety of uses, such as a studio, workshop, or guest accommodation (subject to any necessary consents)

Garden

The garden, located to the front of the property, is a true haven for nature lovers. Predominantly laid to lawn, the grounds are adorned with beautiful mature trees—including what is believed to be the highest Black Poplar tree in Wales. A variety of apple and other fruit trees add to the charm, alongside an abundance of shrubs and flowering plants that provide year-round colour and interest. The garden is alive with birdsong and the gentle hum of bees, creating a tranquil and immersive outdoor space that invites you to pause and enjoy the natural beauty that surrounds you. At night there are the darkest of skies perfect for star gazing on a clear night.
