Upstairs, three generously sized double bedrooms each offer their own distinctive outlook over the surrounding countryside and gardens, capturing the charm of the setting from every angle. The accommodation is completed by a contemporary family bathroom, thoughtfully appointed with a bath, separate shower cubicle, WC, and wash basin—combining style with everyday comfort and practicality.

Gardens, Grounds & Glorious Outdoor Living

The beautifully landscaped gardens surround the property, creating a tranquil retreat filled with mature shrubs, vibrant flower borders, and an array of fruit trees—including apples, pears, and blackberries. A dedicated orchard and vegetable garden support a true ‘grow-your-own’ lifestyle, with the current owners even producing homemade jams, popular with visiting campers. A carefully designed barbecue area provides an ideal space for outdoor entertaining during the warmer months. Adding to the character of the grounds is the original Grade II listed pigsty—currently used for storage—which presents an exciting opportunity for conversion into unique holiday accommodation (subject to the necessary planning consents).

Outbuildings and Business Opportunity

A substantial garage with workshop and adjoining carport provides ample storage and workspace, alongside a summerhouse and a newly built timber barn currently used for garden equipment. This versatile structure holds fantastic potential for a variety of uses. To the rear, the main paddock, currently operating as a successful and well-frequented campsite, has proven a profitable venture. Loved by returning guests and shortlisted for CL of the Year 2023 by the Caravan and Motorhome Club , it offers a rural experience with unbeatable convenience, just minutes from Welshpool's amenities.
