Y Gribin Y GRIBINThere are fantastic views of the unspoilt countryside, hills and green fields everywhere. Spring is really spring when the snowdrops give way to daffodils, primroses and wild garlic, along with gambolling lambs seen through the kitchen window.

We have lovingly renovated the house in a way that gives plenty of private space even with a big family or guests who come to enjoy such a lovely place. As well

as double glazing, solar water heating panels

and solar electric panels that actually add to

the household income, we have entirely refitted

the kitchen; now the warm heart of the house;

everyone in the family loves cooking with the

five-oven Aga.

In addition to the stunning location, we were first attracted by the sheer character of the property. Before

us the same family had owned it for 400 years and they still farm

locally. The house is several hundred years old and really does

have a character of its own. Oak beams, practical country home

slate floors and – my favourite - the huge inglenook fireplace

which makes winter nights a special pleasure.

insight


It has been the perfect place to raise a family. We had two young children

when we joined this community 23 years ago. Now we have four children and four

grandchildren! All have loved this place as much as we do.


Our children and grandchildren have enjoyed a home and lifestyle that most only dream of. The freedom and safety

to go off to explore the fields, woods and streams is a priceless privilege in the modern world.

Note: As with all mid-Wales, there have been studies done for wind-farms in the area and farmers have erected two single turbines which are visible in the distance. At some stage in the future there may be a wind farm visible about four miles to the west and the blade tips of another could be visible to the south east. Neither plan is scheduled to go ahead among the Welsh developments approved at present.

Directions: From Welshpool proceed West on the A458 and after just over 13 miles you enter Llanerfyl. Then take your first left, opposite the garage, signposted Talerddig. Follow this lane for just under 2 miles and turn left down the metalled lane some 600 yards after the sign to the sawmill and lake holiday lodges. Proceed through a gate and up the lane, going through the farmyard and proceed up the lane and through a second gate. Continue up the lane, past a barn conversion and the property will be found two hundred yards further along on the right.
