The property is only a 20 minute drive from Welshpool and a 40 minute drive from Shrewsbury, making it well within commuting distance.

General Remarks - Maes Y Glydfa was originally an 18th Century Welsh Longhouse purchased by the current owners 45 years ago. Since purchase, the owners have created a unique property with magical gardens leading down to a large established pond with a jetty, woodland with a wide variety of native trees along with a number of specimen trees, wild flower meadow with paths and a kitchen garden. Viewing is essential to appreciate the high standard of finish throughout the property, grounds and outbuildings. A truly special family home in a unique location.

Situation - Situated only a short drive from Llanfair Caereinion, the property provides easy access to a wide range of local amenities including schooling, public houses, GP Surgery, Dentist and a petrol station. Barmouth is located just an hour away for those looking to weekend on the coast and the Welshpool & Llanfair Light Railway provides a more scenic way to travel back between Llanfair Caereinion and Welshpool.

Property - This 18th Century Welsh Longhouse has undergone a comprehensive scheme of refurbishment to the highest standard. The property has bespoke oak windows and latch internal period doors with a number of exposed ceiling beams. Being approached by a covered entrance porch with seat, an oak front door provides access into a large open plan farmhouse kitchen with bespoke Kenton Jones oak kitchen with under floor heating, inset oil AGA, Victorian tiled splashbacks, central open staircase and a large walk in pantry. The property has a generous sitting room with a large inglenook with Aarrow wood burning stove. 

To the rear of the property is an amazing sun lounge that the owners have created with full height picture windows overlooking the wildflower meadow and valley beyond. Upstairs is a principle suite with vaulted ceiling to the principle bedroom, large dressing room and ensuite. There are three further double bedrooms, family bathroom and W.C. to the first floor.

The gardens, woodland, meadow and buildings are particular features of the property, offering any purchaser a wide variety of usage depending on the privacy that is required.

Externally - The property is approached from a council lane, along a private drive (owned by the neighbouring farmer), over which runs a bridal path through the yard. 

There is a large parking and turning area. Just off the yard is a steel framed portal building 75ft x 32ft (former showroom) with two mezzanine levels, kitchen area and office and also has vehicular access into the space. This space offers a multi-usage to any purchaser. 

Located below are a range of outbuildings including a stone/ slate roof workshop, store room, timber store and additional store room with mezzanine level. This lovely stone building could offer rental potential if so required (subject to planning) and could be converted into a number of letting units or a dependant relative suite. 

To the rear is a kitchen garden with eight raised beds, green house, poly tunnel and garage.

To the front of the property is a large south facing patio, an ideal entertaining area which can be accessed from the kitchen.
