About this property
Perched on the outskirts of the idyllic village of Berriew in Welshpool, is this wonderful two-bedroom annex, The Byre. Attached to the owner’s home, a former Welsh long house, on their working dairy farm and enjoying easy access to the popular destinations of Welshpool and Newtown, and the Shropshire Hills AONB, The Byre is a fantastic dwelling for couples or a family of four seeking their next escape to Wales. Park-up in one of two off-road parking spaces before making your way into your new holiday home.

Cook-up a storm in the well-equipped kitchen/diner, featuring a handy dishwasher and washing machine, ready to savour at the dining table for four. On warmer days, enjoy dinner alfresco out in the enclosed gardens, as the little ones enjoy the delights of the trampoline and a wooden fort. Climb the stairs up to the first floor, where you can cross the split-level landing to a well-appointed bathroom where you can indulge in a soothing soak in the bath or freshen up with a shower. When sleep calls, retire to one of two well-presented bedrooms, a king-size with TV and a twin, both with plenty of storage and idyllic views across the garden.
