Trefeglwys, Caersws, SY17

Dating back to around 1850 and originally two separate cottages, Castell y Gwynt occupies a private, elevated position above a quiet lane on the outskirts of Trefeglwys, commanding far-reaching views across the Trannon Valley. Over time, the property has evolved into a distinctive and characterful home that makes the most of its remarkable setting. The front door opens into a welcoming entrance hall with a traditional tiled floor, from which the kitchen and both reception rooms are accessed. The kitchen is a generous space fitted with painted sage-green units and a Rangemaster cooker, complemented by a parquet brick floor. Both reception rooms are rich in character, featuring exposed beams, brick chimney breasts and wood-burning stoves, while each connects directly to the sun room. It is the sun room that truly defines the house. Stretching along the front elevation, this impressive space is flooded with natural light from roof lights and full-width glazing, all positioned to capture the panoramic valley views. With its boarded pine ceiling and stone-flagged floor, it offers exceptional versatility as a dining room, sitting room or peaceful retreat throughout the year. The ground floor also includes a bathroom fitted with a corner bath and shower over, together with a useful utility area, workshop space and a garden room. Upstairs, the accommodation reflects the property's cottage origins, with two separate staircases serving different sections of the first floor. A generous landing links four double bedrooms, each displaying its own character through vaulted ceilings, exposed timbers and built-in storage. The two principal front-facing bedrooms enjoy particularly impressive views across the Trannon Valley. A door from the landing opens onto a timber balcony, providing a peaceful place to sit and enjoy the surrounding countryside. Completing the first-floor accommodation is a shower room fitted with a shower enclosure, wash basin and WC. The gardens and grounds are a significant feature of the property. A gravel terrace extends the full length of the sun room, creating an ideal space for outdoor dining and entertaining. Beyond, the gardens are laid mainly to lawn, bordered by an established beech hedge that provides shelter without compromising the outstanding views. A substantial polytunnel offers excellent growing space, while new post-and-rail fencing and traditional five-bar gates complete the grounds. The property also benefits from off-road parking. Castell y Gwynt will appeal to those seeking privacy, character and an exceptional rural setting. Whether as a family home, a gardener's haven or simply a place to enjoy the peace and beauty of the Mid Wales countryside, it offers a combination of features that is increasingly difficult to find.
