KEY FEATURES

Overview: A charming four-bedroom detached country cottage nestled on just under an acre of grounds at the edge of the popular village of Berriew. This enchanting family home radiates character and charm, featuring exposed wooden floorboards, feature fireplaces, and visible beams and timbers throughout, creating a cosy and homely atmosphere. The property has been thoughtfully extended and enhanced by the current owners, offering flexible accommodation that includes a utility room, downstairs bathroom, kitchen breakfast room, dining room, living room, sitting room, study, four bedrooms (one with an en-suite), and a family bathroom.

Outside, the property boasts excellent outbuildings currently used as workshops and storage, which could easily be repurposed as a studio, home gym, or converted for other uses subject to the necessary consents. There is ample parking and turning space for multiple cars, along with level lawns and patio areas.

Conveniently located near amenities and with easy access to local towns, while still offering a countryside setting with fantastic views, this home truly provides the best of both worlds. Viewing is highly recommended.

Step Inside

Ground Floor: Upon entering the house, you are greeted by a practical utility room. To the right, there is a downstairs bathroom with an electric power shower over the bath, WC, and wash basin. The farmhouse-style kitchen breakfast room offers a spacious area for cooking and entertaining, complete with room for a dining table and chairs. The kitchen includes a variety of wall and base units with wooden work surfaces, a Belfast sink, a Rayburn, and space for an oven.

The formal dining room showcases exposed beams and timbers, an understairs storage cupboard, and a feature fireplace with integrated bookshelves. This room seamlessly transitions into the charming living room, which features a cosy woodburning stove and patio doors that open into the garden.

The sitting room is a bright and airy space with floor-to-ceiling windows and a door leading to the patio. Double doors open into the study, providing an ideal area for a home office or studio, with plenty of natural light flooding in.

First Floor: Wooden stairs lead up to the first floor, where you’ll find four double bedrooms. Three of these bedrooms are located in the original part of the house and showcase exposed floorboards and beams. The fourth bedroom is part of the extension and includes an en-suite with a shower cubicle, WC, and wash basin. Completing the first floor is the family bathroom, which features a bath with a shower over it, a WC, and a wash basin.

Step Outside

The property is accessed via a gravel driveway that leads to the rear of the house, where ample parking and turning space are available. The gardens feature primarily level lawns bordered by well-established hedges for privacy, along with a variety of shrubs and trees. A useful greenhouse and six raised beds offer additional space for growing flowers or vegetables. Patio paths wind around the house, leading to a patio area perfect for alfresco dining.

The outbuildings are particularly noteworthy, offering excellent potential for conversion subject to the necessary consents. Currently serving as a workshop, they could easily be repurposed as a studio, home gym, or office space, while also providing ample storage.

Location

Located about 1 mile west of the village of Berriew, which has a convenience store, public houses, butchers, church, primary school and a tea room, and the historic town of Montgomery is about 5 miles to the south. The larger towns of Welshpool and Newtown are about 4 miles away and 7 miles away respectively with each town providing a wide range of services including schools, supermarkets, doctor’s surgery and train stations. Ideally located for easy access to the motorway network in one direction and the Welsh coast in the other.

History: Dating back to the 1600s Brithdir Isaf, originally known as ‘Tafarn Y Brics’ is believed to have been owned by William Lloyd who is likely to have been the original owner of the local public house/restaurant ‘The Horseshoe Inn’ which is very popular with locals today and is only a short drive from the property.
