Description

Castell Y Gwynt is an extremely special property, nestled into the valley of Llandyssil, just a few miles from Montgomery. The property is surrounded by far reaching views and wonderful countryside, with glimpses of Snowdonia and Cadair Idris on a clear day. The property offers a fantastic lifestyle along with complete privacy and well thought out equestrian facilities.

The house was re-built from an older farmhouse, in 1998 with The Ark extension added on about 15 years ago. The accommodation is beautifully presented with a number of character features including shutters to some of the windows, exposed beams and stone and amazing views from most of the rooms. Starting at the side of the house, the 'everyday' entrance opens into a useful boot room and utility, with a door opening into the farmhouse style kitchen which has granite worktops, a two oven AGA, a Belfast sink and oak units. There is underfloor heating from the kitchen into an inner hallway, off which is a cloakroom with a large storage cupboard, a separate pantry and a study.

The kitchen also provides access to the main entrance hall which also serves as a snug, and has a wood burner and built in units. A door leads into a porch and the formal entrance, with additional storage and provides access to the formal gardens.

The snug/hallway also provides access to the drawing room which has built in bookshelves, a wood burner and a door leading into the impressive 'Ark' which is an oak framed extension, with under floor heating, large glazed windows to absorb the beautiful scenery and views, French doors leading outside and a Stovax inset stove.

Stairs rise from the entrance hall/snug to the guest suite where there is a shower room, airing cupboard and a double bedroom, which is triple aspect with built in wardrobes.
From the landing, a door leads through to a double bedroom (3), with a door leading into bedroom 4, which could serve as a dressing room to the principal bedroom. This room may be accessed either from the stairs in the kitchen, or from the landing area, accessed off bedroom 4.

The principal bedroom has a walk in wardrobe with an airing cupboard and a triple aspect ensuite bathroom with underfloor heating.

Gardens & Grounds

The gardens are wonderfully mature with a formal lawn area extending from the front of the house, continuing around the side. A blocked pathway leads to a seating area within the corner of the formal garden and a further pathway leads to an orchard, where there are a number of fruit trees including cherry and apple.

There is a York stone patio which runs along the front of the house and continuing along the side, with a veranda over part of it, offering a wonderful covered space for al fresco dining.

The formal garden has views over the paddocks and towards the wildlife pool and pool house, which has an eco grass roof and a wood burning stove, the perfect place to sit and relax in an evening. From here you can watch some magnificent sunsets and sun rises, whilst taking in the breath taking views towards Snowdonia.

To the back of the house is a secret herb garden with paved and gravel paths. Steps rise through a Beech arch, onto a blocked path and a further lawn area.
