The front of the house has an Easterly aspect, with good shelter from the South and West from higher ground, and it’s own woodland is on the North side. There are beautiful views from the house and grounds over unspoilt countryside to Llandegley Rocks, which rises to 436 m (1,430 ft) and there are quiet roads, bridleways and footpaths for walking, cycling and horse riding. The village of Penybont (2¾-miles) has a traditional pub, community centre and Garden Centre, there is a good Primary School at Franksbridge (3 miles) and Hundred House has a traditional pub (4 miles).
