Meifod

Chain free. Surrounded by open countryside, birdsong and far reaching views, this rural retreat delivers a true lifestyle haven for families, without being out of reach of local amenities and schools

The approach is via a private and solid track across an open field to a cattle grid, followed by a short treelined track to the two properties that are situated in this privileged location

Ysgubor Hen is a characterful, four bedroom cottage that offers an immediate sense of calm and rural escape with gardens surrounding the property, together with a large garage and workshop. Viewings strictly by prior appointment

Situation - Turning onto the private drive that cuts across an open field, you feel the outside world fall away. The rush, the noise, the everyday hustle and bustle is replaced by the quiet certainty that you are returning to your own personal lifestyle haven.

Sheep and lambs scatter gently as you cross the cattle grid and you may find yourself lowering the window just to savour it all: the hush of open countryside, the birdsong carrying on the breeze and the clean, fresh air that invites you to breathe a little deeper.

Welcome to Ysgubor Hen – a family lifestyle choice

Schools - This area is served by a selection of rural primary schools such as Ysgol Meifod and Pont Robert School, both small community-focused settings typical of Mid Wales.

Slightly further afield, families can access additional primaries including Guilsfield County Primary, Welshpool Church in Wales Primary, and Arddleen Primary. For secondary education, the nearest options are Ysgol Llanfyllin (a large all through school), Welshpool High School, and Ysgol Bro Caereinion, all within practical commuting distance and offering sixth form provision.

For families seeking independent education, the wider region offers several private schools within 30–45 minutes’ drive in and around Oswestry and Shrewsbury. Golfa Hall School near Welshpool provides specialist independent provision.

Accommodation - The property offers exceptional potential for anyone wishing to make their mark, with ample scope to personalise the home and fully embrace its outstanding views and outdoor lifestyle.

Internally, the kitchen and bathrooms also present the chance to be redesigned or updated to suit individual tastes and requirements.

There is also a clear opportunity to enhance the living space further, whether through an extension with decking to enjoy an elevated view of the scenery or the addition of a conservatory to create a light filled room and feeling of outdoor living.

Externally - The generous outdoor space, far reaching views, workshop, garage and ample parking provide a wealth of possibilities for hobbies, storage or potentially even further development, subject to consents.

Ysgubor Hen shares its driveway with one immediate neighbour, creating a reassuring sense of security while still maintaining complete privacy. The arrangement feels friendly and unobtrusive, offering peace of mind without compromising the property’s secluded setting.

The current owners are especially fond of their charming barbecue hut, tucked away in its own private corner of the garden; a cosy, inviting spot that’s perfect for gathering with family and friends throughout the year. Whatever the weather, it offers a wonderfully atmospheric setting for relaxed meals, laughter and long evenings together.
