Middletown, Welshpool, Powys SY21

A stunning countryside home with contemporary interiors, panoramic views and an impressive 2881 sq ft outbuilding, providing unparalleled lifestyle or income opportunities.

Description
The Fron is nestled in the beautiful Shropshire/Powys countryside, sitting just below Middletown Hill, part of the dramatic Breidden range. Its position offers expansive views across open fields, woodland, and the valley, creating a peaceful and ever‐changing backdrop that can be enjoyed from many of the principal rooms. Although a period property, the house has been tastefully modernised throughout, combining traditional appeal with fresh, contemporary interiors that are ready to move straight into.

Approached via a private tarmac driveway with double gates already fitted with electricity ready for automation, the property is both secluded and easily accessible. The driveway winds gently to a generous tarmac parking area. On the right sits a neatly enclosed paddock, bordered by a high hedge, ideal for a small pony or a few grazing sheep. The gardens wrap around most of the house and are largely laid to lawn, with planted borders, hedging, and a sense of openness that complements the surrounding countryside. A wide patio terrace to the front of the house provides an excellent outdoor seating and entertaining space, complete with a pergola and Jacuzzi, available by separate negotiation.

The main entrance opens into a welcoming hallway laid with ceramic floor tiles that continue throughout the ground‐floor hallway. Practical storage has been carefully considered, with a double cupboard for coats and shoes and a further separate store cupboard. The utility room offers fitted units, a sink, space for white goods, and there is a dedicated boiler/drying cupboard. From the entrance hall, an inner hallway leads to a cloakroom with WC and a well‐appointed boot room with fitted units and a side door opening to the pergola and terrace.

The kitchen is a beautifully designed and light-filled space, created by Hettich and finished with high‐gloss units and an Oak worktop. There is a neff double slide‐and‐glide oven with grill and microwave, an integrated bosch dishwasher, integrated fridge freezer, wine cooler, and neff induction hob with bosch extractor. With ample room for a dining table, it is a bright and sociable space at the heart of the home.

A door from the kitchen leads into the snug/office, a charming room with views over the front garden, wooden flooring, and a wood‐burning stove with a back boiler that can heat the hot water and radiators as an additional heating source. A connecting door returns to the inner hallway and main front entrance, from which two separate doors open into the living room. This is a warm, inviting space with wooden flooring, rural views, and a further wood‐burning stove, providing a cosy focal point.

Upstairs, the main landing serves five double bedrooms. The principal bedroom enjoys outstanding views up the valley towards Middletown Hill and includes an ensuite shower room with underfloor heating and a heated towel rail. The second bedroom, positioned at the front of the property, also has its own ensuite shower room with heated towel rail. Bedroom three is currently arranged as a dressing room with fitted wardrobes, while bedroom four, also at the front, includes built‐in wardrobes. Bedroom five is dual‐aspect, with double wardrobes available by separate negotiation. Completing the first floor is a well appointed family bathroom with a separate bath, vanity sink and heated towel rail.

The Shed

A significant feature of The Fron is the large agricultural shed, offering exceptional versatility and potential. It includes two roller shutter doors with sufficient height for a tractor or 3.5‐tonne lorry, a workshop area, a gym space with sink and WC, and a separate office that is networked directly to the main house. The shed currently accommodates four four‐post, two‐car lifts allowing storage for up to sixteen cars, with space for an additional five cars at ground level, as well as a two‐post lift for maintenance work.

A mezzanine floor above provides extensive further storage. The building is equipped with full CCTV, an alarm system, a roof replaced in October 2025, and sixteen solar panels that remain on a fit until 2028. Combined with the adjacent paddock, it is an outstanding asset for hobbyists, collectors, car enthusiasts, or those seeking income‐generating opportunities.

The Fron is a superb family home, immaculately finished and offering the next owners a rare opportunity to enjoy modern comfort, rural seclusion, and outstanding ancillary facilities-all with little or no updating required.
