Internally, the accomodation is both spacious and welcoming, designed to suit family life and entertaining alike. The layout briefly comprises an inviting entrance hall, a character-filled living room with wood burning stove, a formal dining room, and a stunning open-plan kitchen, breakfast room and sunroom—a later addition that adds light, space and a real connection to the gardens.

Step Inside:
Ground Floor
Stepping into the entrance hall, you’re immediately welcomed by a warm and homely atmosphere that resonates throughout the property. Characterful features such as exposed timber beams, wooden flooring, and rustic finishes set the tone from the outset, creating a cosy and inviting first impression. The spacious hallway includes a useful understairs storage cupboard, helping to keep the area clutter-free and practical. To the right, a door opens into the generously proportioned living room. This beautifully light and airy space benefits from dualaspect windows that frame far-reaching views of the surrounding countryside. At the heart of the room is a striking fireplace with a wood-burning stove—perfect for cosy winter evenings and creating a true country home ambience.

Returning to the hallway, the formal dining room lies directly ahead. Ideal for entertaining guests or enjoying family meals, this elegant space features a beautiful period-style fireplace and double patio doors that open directly onto the rear terrace, seamlessly connecting indoor and outdoor living and allowing natural light to flood in. Beyond the dining room, you are led into the heart of the home—an open-plan kitchen, breakfast room and sunroom extension, added to the property in 2003. This expansive area has been thoughtfully designed to blend character and functionality, with slate tiled flooring, exposed brickwork, and traditional beams that echo the charm found throughout the rest of the house. The kitchen is well-appointed with a range of base units, ample worktop space, a sink and drainer, an Aga for traditional cooking, space for a freestanding fridge freezer, and room for additional freestanding storage or appliances.

Flowing seamlessly from the kitchen is the sunroom, a stunning light-filled space with bi-fold doors that open out onto the patio—perfect for alfresco dining or summer entertaining. Whether enjoying a sunny afternoon or cosying up in the winter beside the second wood-burning stove, this room offers year round comfort and charm. From the kitchen, you also have access to a modern and practical utility room. Fitted with both wall and base units, a sink, and space and plumbing for a washing machine and tumble dryer, it provides a dedicated space for household tasks. One door leads out into the front garden, while another opens into the attached garage—making it particularly convenient for unloading shopping directly from the car, especially on rainy days. A downstairs WC is also located just off the utility room for added convenience.
Seller Insight
I originally built Bryncelyn in 1994 on a corner of my parents’ field. I’ve always loved traditional oak-framed houses, so I commissioned Border Oak to create a 21st-century version — a beautifully crafted home that combines farmhouse style with modern living. The garage and utility room were built to the side, creating a sheltered courtyard feel and offering protection from the prevailing south westerly winds. I chose the spot for its stunning views and easy access to the lane. In 2003, we added a kitchen and master bedroom extension, which transformed the property into a spacious four-bedroom family home. Then in 2010, we built the sunroom extension — a real game-changer. With bifold doors, glass walls, and Velux windows, it brought the view right into the heart of the house, flooding the kitchen with natural light. It was at this time we installed the current kitchen units and quartz island.
Seller Insight Cont.
The kitchen and sunroom have become our favourite space — a bright, airy room where we cook, relax, and spend time together. On warmer days, the bifold doors open right up, blending the indoors with the outside. It’s the heart of the home — a happy, sociable space. We’re lucky to live in a wonderful little community. There are just five houses along our lane, and we all look out for one another. We’ll stop for a chat when we cross paths, but there’s plenty of privacy too — a perfect balance. The village of Llanfair Caereinion is just a mile away and full of character. It has three pubs, a fantastic butcher, a chip shop, Chinese takeaway, post office, Londis with a petrol station, and Ashton’s paper shop — a real throwback to the days of Open All Hours.
Seller Insight Cont.
The village also has schools for all ages, which has been incredibly convenient over the years. The schools recently transitioned to Welsh medium education, and there’s always a friendly buzz when the children are coming and going. There’s also a doctors’ surgery right in the village, adding to the convenience. It’s with a heavy heart that we’re moving — but only next door, to the house where I grew up. So while we’re sad to leave this home behind, we’re excited to return to my childhood roots.
First Floor
A beautifully crafted oak staircase rises from the ground floor to a spacious first-floor landing, where natural light, warm wood tones, and thoughtful design continue the welcoming feel found throughout the home. The landing itself features a radiator for comfort, access to the loft, and provides a practical yet attractive circulation space connecting all four bedrooms and two bathrooms. To the left of the staircase lies the impressive master suite—a room full of charm and character. Exposed wooden flooring and original beams give this space a timeless rustic elegance, while a Juliet balcony provides the perfect vantage point to enjoy the uninterrupted views of the rolling countryside. This is a serene and private retreat, flooded with natural light and finished with real attention to detail. The adjoining en suite bathroom has been recently upgraded and offers both style and functionality. It features a full-size bath, separate shower cubicle, WC, bidet, and a wash (truncated)
First Floor Cont.
Continuing along the landing, the recently renovated family shower room is situated on the left. Finished to a high standard, it includes a sleek shower cubicle, WC, and wash basin, along with a spacious airing cupboard for additional linen storage. Directly opposite the family shower room is the fourth bedroom. Although the smallest of the four, it still comfortably accommodates a double bed and includes handy eaves storage, making it an ideal guest room, child’s bedroom, or home office. At the far end of the landing, two further generous double bedrooms complete the accommodation. Both rooms enjoy far-reaching views across the surrounding countryside and are finished with the same characterful details seen throughout the home wooden floors, exposed beams, and built-in wardrobes for practical storage. These light-filled rooms offer both comfort and charm, making them perfect for family members or guests alike.
Step Outside
The property is accessed via a quiet country lane, leading onto a private driveway that offers a real sense of arrival. A brick wall and cattle grid provide additional privacy and seclusion, opening into a generous tarmac driveway with ample space for parking and turning, and direct access to the attached garage. Surrounding the house are well maintained gardens, thoughtfully arranged to take full advantage of the breathtaking views across the surrounding countryside. Expanses of level lawn lie to either side of the property, bordered by mature hedges that create a natural screen and enhance the privacy of the outdoor space. A variety of established trees are dotted throughout the grounds, adding colour and seasonal interest to the garden landscape.
Step Outside Cont.
At the front of the house, a fenced patio garden leads to the main entrance. This charming and functional space is ideal for a seating area, potted plants, or as a secure spot for pets to remain close to the house. To the rear, a large stone patio provides the perfect setting for outdoor entertaining or quiet evenings spent dining alfresco, while enjoying the open views of the picturesque countryside beyond. The property also includes a number of useful outbuildings that offer excellent versatility. A garden shed provides storage for tools and equipment, while a small carport offers covered space ideal for bikes, quads, or general storage needs. The attached garage has 18 solar PV panels on its roof, features an electric door and has electricity connected giving the option for further check freezers or storage if required. In addition, a larger detached unit is currently used as an office and games room. This adaptable space lends itself to a range of potential uses — (truncated)
Potential Annexe
This large outbuilding is currently utilised as a home office and games room, offering a generous and flexible space separate from the main residence. Benefitting from a connection to mains electricity, it is fully functional as it stands and ideally suited to a variety of uses, depending on individual needs or lifestyle. It would make an excellent home workspace for remote working professionals, a dedicated gym, an art or craft studio, or even a music or hobby room. Beyond recreational or work-related use, the outbuilding also presents exciting potential for conversion into self-contained accommodation. Subject to the necessary planning permissions and consents, it could be transformed into an annexe ideal for multi-generational living, guest accommodation, or even as a holiday let or home business opportunity. Its versatility and scope make it a valuable asset to the property, offering both functional and future-proof potential.
