Kingswood, Forden, Welshpool, Powys, SY21

Coed Y Brenin represents a rare opportunity to acquire a distinguished rural residence of notable substance, having been thoughtfully modernised to an exacting standard. The property enjoys an enviable elevated position on the edge of the well-regarded village of Forden, capturing uninterrupted views across the surrounding countryside towards Montgomery, the Kerry Ridgeway, the landmark Powys Castle and, beyond, the Severn Valley.

The approach is immediately impressive, via a gated entrance leading onto a good expanse of tarmacadam driveway, providing extensive parking and turning space. The home itself is further enhanced by a striking wraparound Oak-framed Veranda, which not only adds architectural charm but also creates a superb sheltered space for outdoor dining and relaxation.

Internally, the accommodation is both generous and highly adaptable, ideally suited to modern family living and those seeking multi-generational flexibility. A welcoming Sunroom, complete with solid roof and tiled flooring, provides a delightful all-season vantage point and flows seamlessly into the 'L'Shaped Reception Hall, where quality is evident in the tiled flooring and Oak-panelled internal doors found throughout the home.

The principal reception room is a beautifully proportioned dual-aspect Lounge, centred around a multi-fuel stove with Oak display mantel, and featuring a large picture window designed to frame the spectacular outlook. This room, together with the adjoining Sunroom, creates a superb living and entertaining environment.

The heart of the home lies within the impressive Kitchen/Dining Room, thoughtfully designed with a comprehensive range of Shaker-style wall and base units, complemented by glazed display cabinetry, a central island, dishwasher and 1½ bowl sink. A Range cooker provides a focal point, while contemporary herringbone flooring and ceiling spotlights complete the space.

Supporting the ground floor accommodation is a Cloakroom, a well-appointed Utility Room with high gloss units and Belfast sink, and a substantial Hobbies Room/Potential Annex. This latter space offers excellent scope, subject to the necessary consents, to create a Self-Contained Suite, ideal for dependent relatives or Guest Accommodation.

To the first floor, a balustraded staircase rises to a Galleried Landing, leading to 3 well-proportioned Bedrooms. The Principal Bedroom enjoys a dual aspect, a walk-in wardrobe and a stylish En-Suite Shower Room. The remaining Bedrooms are served by a Family Bathroom fitted with a three-piece suite. A dedicated Plant Room houses the solar battery storage and water cylinder, reflecting the property’s forward-thinking energy credentials.

The landscaped gardens wrap around the property and include a lawn interspersed with a variety of mature trees of apple, cherry, pear and apricot trees. A fruit cage provides blueberries, blackcurrants and loganberries, while a productive kitchen garden with raised beds supports a sustainable lifestyle.

A paved terrace with pergola adjoins the house, offering an ideal setting for al fresco dining while enjoying the far-reaching views.

Beyond, the pasture land extends to approximately 4.75 acres in total, arranged as a single enclosure and laid to permanent pasture, with a natural water supply from a boundary stream. The land offers excellent potential for equestrian use, with scope for subdivision into smaller paddocks, and benefits from a separate gated access via Kingswood Lane.

The property will be sold subject to an overage clause affecting the land, applicable for a period of ten years should planning permission be obtained.

Forden itself is a thriving village community offering a primary school, public houses, eateries, recreational facilities, a parish church and chapel, together with a regular bus service. The nearby market town of Welshpool provides a wider range of amenities including national retailers, secondary schooling and a mainline railway station, while the Shropshire border and wider motorway network are readily accessible, making the property an attractive proposition for commuters seeking a rural yet connected lifestyle.
