4 bed detached house for sale

Fron, Montgomery, Powys SY15

An imposing bay-fronted country farmhouse occupying an elevated position surrounded by established gardens and pastureland extending in all to approximately 15.843 acres (6.411 hectares), offering spacious four-bedroom accommodation, useful outbuildings including two workshops and an exciting opportunity to create a wonderful rural home in the heart of the Montgomeryshire countryside.

The property is close to the village of Garthmyl and within easy reach of Berriew, a particularly attractive village renowned for its picturesque setting and traditional character. Set back from the A483, the property is conveniently situated between the market towns of Newtown which is approximately 6.5 miles away and Welshpool approx 8 miles away with its popular tourist attraction of Powis Castle.
