Charming Period Home on the Shropshire–Powys Border Offers Exciting Renovation Opportunity
A charming double-fronted period home on the picturesque Shropshire–Powys border has come to market, offering an exciting opportunity to create a bespoke family home in a sought-after rural setting.
Gwernsebon, located less than a mile from the popular village of Llanrhaeadr-ym-Mochnant, provides easy access to everyday amenities while enjoying far-reaching views across the surrounding countryside. The property is being marketed by Balfours with a guide price of £395,000, reflecting the need for comprehensive modernisation.
Alistair Hilton, Head of Sales at Balfours, said:
“This is a rare opportunity for a purchaser to create a home tailored to their own needs, lifestyle and design aspirations. Importantly, the property already benefits from a recently installed, energy-efficient Air Source Heat Pump system, providing a strong foundation for future improvements.”
The spacious property extends to approximately 1,784 sq ft and offers flexible accommodation including an entrance hall, two reception rooms, a kitchen, a large pantry/store room and a ground-floor en-suite bedroom.
Alistair added:
“Depending on individual requirements, the ground-floor accommodation could be reconfigured to create a home office, utility room or a larger open-plan living space. Stairs rise from the entrance hall to the first floor, where there are 4 generous double bedrooms.”
Outside, the property sits within approximately 0.7 acres of gardens and grounds, providing plenty of scope for landscaping, outdoor entertaining or creating a dream garden. Surrounded by open countryside, Gwernsebon enjoys a tranquil setting with stunning rural views and significant potential for buyers seeking a renovation project in Mid Wales.
The location is particularly appealing, with a wealth of walking and outdoor pursuits nearby. Lake Vyrnwy, one of the region’s most popular beauty spots, is just 10 miles away, while Oswestry, Shrewsbury and Wrexham are all within easy commuting distance. The area also benefits from a strong selection of state and independent schools.
For those searching for a period property for sale near Llanrhaeadr-ym-Mochnant, a renovation opportunity in Powys, or a country house with land on the Shropshire border, Gwernsebon presents a unique chance to create a truly individual home.
