Outside

Bryn Y Fedwen, meaning Birch Hill, is the type of property for those looking for the rural idyll, to be self-sufficient and to enjoy nature. The house is surrounded by all of this plus wonderful hills and views which can be admired from the raised decking area at the top of the garden, within which is an oak tree. From here, you can see towards Meifod, Welshpool, Trefonen, Cain Valley, The Berwyns, Allt Y Main and The Shropshire Hills. The sunsets and sunrises are superb and certainly not to be missed.

Surrounded by well-maintained agricultural land, there is so much to love about Bryn Y Fedwen whether it is the resident Buzzard, the resident Owl, Red Kites circling above or the clear starry skies at night. The gardens and grounds are mostly laid to lawn with an orchard area including wonderful apple and plum trees, a couple of wildlife areas which are full of beautiful wildflowers in the spring and summer months and a fantastic area which would either be perfect for a polytunnel or a vegetable bed. There are a number of trees within the boundary and in the gardens, including Silver Birch, Ash, Oak, Beech Alder and Pear.

Within the grounds, is the ruin of an old building which has potential for conversion, subject to the necessary planning permission. Also within this area, is a timber summer house and a workshop/barn.
