About this property
Exuding charm from every room with quirky features to make you smile, this quaint cottage in rural Wales is a wonderful retreat for couples or small families with a dog. Perfectly located for avid walkers, the much-loved routes of the Offa’s Dyke footpath on the England/Wales border and the Severn Way are both accessible within a mile of the village.
As you step into the property, there is a small set of steps down from the garden into the entrance hall which leads through to the living room, down a further set of steps. The cosy space is furnished with a two-seater sofa, an armchair and a warming wood burner set into an exposed stone feature fireplace creating a lovely environment in which to relax in the evenings. Next door is the kitchen/diner, traditionally styled with a Belfast sink and exposed beams across the ceiling with a table and four chairs for dining. Upstairs, is the smaller of the two bedrooms with a single bed, decorated in earthy tones, as well as the shower room with walk in shower and heated towel rail. Up a further set of narrow stairs is the master bedroom with a striking four-poster bed, a decorative cast-iron fireplace and a chaise lounge. Outside is a pretty south-facing cottage garden with seating so that you can enjoy the peaceful location with privacy.
The local village of Montgomery can be found less than half a mile away, up a gentle hill and here, you’ll find a small selection of independent shops and eateries, including a Michelin-starred restaurant for a special treat. Take the opportunity to visit the ruins of Montgomery Castle, located high up on a hill which offers panoramic countryside views. Powis Castle and Garden is a fantastic National Trust property to visit at all times of year to see the changing seasons – the castle itself rises high above the 17th-century Italianate terraces and Edwardian formal garden, a beautiful sight to behold.
