Location - Pool Quay, located in Powys, Wales, is a historic village and ecclesiastical parish. Its name comes from being the highest navigable point on the river near Welshpool, originally called Pool or Poole. The village served as a quay for Pool and was also on the Montgomery Canal, facilitating trans shipment between the canal and river. The town of Welshpool and Oswestry are both just a ten - fifteen minute drive away whilst the town of Shrewsbury is also easily accessible. Good road links provide easy access to the coast whilst motorways link the area to larger cities and airports.

History - Pool Quay was once a key location for trade and transportation, with the Severn River and the Montgomery Canal passing through. The village was served by the Cambrian Railways and its successors until 1965, although the station was some distance from the main village. the grounds of the property lay testament to this with lots of railway artefacts and remnants being found within the gardens. The village is near the site of Strata Marcella Abbey where a lot of the building materials for the barn have originated from. The word Bastel comes from the meaning for a fortified farmhouse, with accommodation for livestock on the vaulted ground-floor, usually found in the Border counties of Scotland and England. The word byre relates to the building where cows are kept.

Proposed Accommodation - The current owners have obtained planning permission for the development of the barns to create a stunning 5/6 bedroom family home whilst retaining a lot of the barns original character and charm. Planning permission was granted in 1997 with the current owners carrying out works to ensure that this planning remains in place. The internal accommodation plans consist of hallway, three reception rooms, large family kitchen, study, utility, 5/6 bedrooms, en suite facilities and dressing room with a beautiful mezzanine over the entrance hall.

The Barns - The current owners have already carried out works to the barns with the installation of concrete floors and the preservation and repair of the existing structure.
