Inside The Home

At the heart of the home lies a large Kitchen, Living Room, complete with a traditional Aga that brings both warmth and practicality to everyday living. Designed with family life and entertaining in mind, the kitchen flows seamlessly into a generous dining area, creating a welcoming space for everything from relaxed breakfasts to large family celebrations. Bifold doors open directly onto the patio, providing a wonderful connection to the beautifully landscaped gardens beyond. A versatile adjoining room, currently used as a home office and playroom, offers flexibility to suit changing family needs, while a practical utility room with shower facilities is perfectly placed for use after enjoying the swimming pool and gardens.

Character and charm continue throughout the reception rooms. The principal sitting room is centred around an impressive fireplace with a Clear View wood burning stove, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere during the cooler months, while large windows frame picturesque views across the surrounding gardens. Across the entrance hall, a separate snug provides a quieter retreat, ideal for reading, relaxing or unwinding at the end of the day in front of another Clear View wood burner. Together, these elegant reception spaces strike the perfect balance between formal entertaining and comfortable everyday family living.

The first floor offers four generously proportioned bedrooms, each enjoying its own individual character and delightful outlook across the gardens and surrounding countryside. Two bedrooms feature French doors and elegant Juliet balconies, allowing the beautiful rural views to become part of the living experience. The principal bedroom benefits from fitted wardrobes, a Juliet balcony and a private ensuite shower room, creating a peaceful sanctuary. Another bedroom has an ensuite bathroom, while a well appointed family bathroom completes the accommodation.

Gardens & Grounds

The grounds at Cil Y Wennol are every bit as impressive as the house itself. Extending to approximately four acres, the beautifully landscaped gardens have been thoughtfully designed to make the most of their exceptional setting, with a variety of seating and entertaining areas perfectly positioned to enjoy the far reaching countryside views. Expansive lawns, mature ornamental and fruit trees, colourful borders and carefully tended planting create year round interest, while offering a wonderful sense of peace, privacy and seclusion.

A standout feature of the property is the superb outdoor entertaining space.

A detached double garage provides excellent storage and workshop potential, while a useful mezzanine level offers valuable additional storage, ensuring the property is as functional as it is beautiful.

Whether entertaining friends, spending time with family or simply soaking in the tranquillity of the surroundings, the gardens and grounds at Cil Y Wennol offer an exceptional outdoor lifestyle in an idyllic rural setting. 

An Insight to Life

From the moment we first visited, the location immediately stood out. Nestled just outside a thriving village, yet only five miles from Welshpool, it offered the perfect balance of peaceful countryside living with everyday convenience. The breathtaking views, complete privacy, tranquillity and the abundance of wildlife made it feel incredibly special. We can still remember standing here and simply knowing this was the one. It had a feeling that is difficult to describe, but we instantly knew we wanted to make it our home.

Our first impressions have never faded. Every time we return home, whether after a busy day or a holiday away, the house never fails to impress us. There is always a sense of calm as you arrive, and the beautiful surroundings remind you just how fortunate you are to live here. It continues to feel like a place to relax, unwind and appreciate the peaceful setting.

Over the years, we have made a number of improvements to the property, all undertaken with great care and attention to detail. Every change has been made to complement the character of the home while enhancing its comfort and functionality. We have always wanted to preserve what makes the property so special whilst ensuring it works beautifully for modern family life.

There are so many places to enjoy throughout the home and gardens that it's difficult to choose a favourite. The ever-changing views and the peaceful surroundings make everyday life feel special, whatever the season. The property has a magical quality all year round, from bright spring mornings and long summer evenings to the rich colours of autumn and the cosy atmosphere of winter. There is always something beautiful to appreciate.

This has been a true family home. It has provided the perfect place for family and friends to come together for celebrations and special occasions, while also offering plenty of space to enjoy peace, privacy and tranquillity whenever needed. It strikes a wonderful balance between being welcoming for entertaining and a peaceful retreat to escape from the demands of everyday life.

The local community is friendly, welcoming and vibrant. There are football and bowls clubs, the well-supported local show, regular social events at the community centre, and two excellent pubs that are at the heart of village life. For those who enjoy the outdoors, there are beautiful canal walks and numerous countryside footpaths to explore, making it a wonderful place to enjoy an active lifestyle while still feeling part of a close-knit community.

Over the past 15 years, this has been a home filled with happiness and countless wonderful memories. From family gatherings and celebrations to the simple pleasure of enjoying the peace and beauty of the surroundings, every year has brought something special. It's hard to believe how quickly the time has passed.

We are confident that the next owners will fall in love with Cil Y Wennol just as we did. We believe they will appreciate not only the house itself, but also the lifestyle it offers – the privacy, the stunning setting, the welcoming community and the sense of peace that makes it such a special place to call home.

Cil Y Wennol has been a truly joyous home for us, and leaving after 15 wonderful years will be bittersweet. We will miss the views, the tranquillity, the wildlife and the feeling of arriving home every day. However, we take with us so many treasured memories, and we sincerely hope the new owners will enjoy and cherish Cil Y Wennol as much as we have.
