Pentre Barn, a beautifully converted barn near Berriew, Powys, is on the market for £595,000 with estate agent The Modern House. The property sits in its own hidden valley, surrounded by over six acres of Welsh countryside, including an orchard, woodland, and a wildlife lake.
Renovation and Sustainable Features
Once part of a farm smallholding, the barn has undergone a renovation focused on environmental sustainability. Triple glazed windows, a ground source heat pump, and substantial insulation deliver near Passivhaus standards of energy efficiency. Fibre-optic broadband has also been installed for high-speed internet access.
The interior features a sociable kitchen lounge diner with sleek white modular units and marble-effect worktops. A wood-burning stove serves as the focal point of the living area, which opens to triple-aspect views via a large sliding door. Three generously proportioned bedrooms, each with an ensuite bathroom, are located on the first floor.
Location and Amenities
The barn is almost at the midpoint between Welshpool and Newtown, with the village of Berriew nearby offering a store, butcher, tearoom, and two pubs. The Montgomery Canal winds through Welshpool, and Powis Castle with its celebrated gardens is also close by. National cycle route 81 passes along the quiet lane beside the barn.
Railway stations in both Welshpool and Newtown provide connections to Birmingham International and London Euston, as well as the Welsh coastline. The A483 and A458 roads offer excellent links, putting Shrewsbury within comfortable reach.
