Description

Llandrinio Hall is an extremely sophisticated ‘grown up’ house which has a fabulous feel to it. The hall is believed to be the oldest extant brick built building in Montgomeryshire. Not only does it work wonderfully as a family home, it also lends itself as being a great house for entertaining and as a holiday let/Airbnb. The house originates from around 1682 and was originally the home of the Robert Peel Family. There are some wonderful features including exposed beams, large sash windows and working shutters, original oak floorboards, and the fabulous staircase. The whole house has a BOSE sound system wired in which also works in the wet room and on the terrace garden.

The accommodation flows beautifully from the central living room which has a wood burning stove and double doors leading outside to the front of the house and driveway. The billiards room has wooden flooring, an open fire place, is double aspect and currently houses a 1907 snooker table from North Wales which can be purchased by way of separate negotiation. The cinema room serves well as a family room with an open fireplace and has a soundproof floor.

The family kitchen offers a wonderful space for entertaining with farmhouse style units, pebbledash walls, Norwegian granite worktops, a Falcon Range oven with gas hob, integrated dishwasher and quarry tiled flooring. Doors lead through to the conservatory and dining area with fabulous views towards Rodney’s Pillar and over the formal gardens on which you can access through a set of French doors. The morning room is currently used as an office/playroom.

The beautiful, solid oak Caroleanne staircase rises from an inner hallway to the first floor where there are two good size double bedrooms and a blue themed family bathroom. A door provides access to a corridor where there is a further double bedroom with a four poster Emperor bed (available by separate negotiation), a double bedroom, a large linen cupboard, a twin/laundry room, a family bathroom and a separate wet room with a monsoon shower, pebble dash walls and floor, and a heated towel rail.

The second floor is split into two wings with two separate staircases accessed from the first floor. On the one side, is a double bedroom with a decorative arched window and a large attic store. On the second floor of the other wing, are two double bedrooms with a landing area in-between.

Outside
The house is approached via a long tarmac, lime tree avenue to a sweep to the front of the house onto a gravel parking area. The main garden with its wonderful views over to Rodney’s Pillar is laid out with a formal lawn with topiary yew hedges and a kitchen garden, opening to an orchard area. A private enclosed garden includes an outside chess set, but could serve well as a vegetable garden.
