Trefonen 1.8 miles.
The Long House is a charming, 15th century grade II listed detached barn conversion nestled in the small picturesque hamlet of Pentre, near the village of Trefonen, on the England/Wales border near Oswestry.
Offering off-road parking for up to four vehicles, this welcoming retreat invites families or groups of friends, along with two well-behaved dogs, to enjoy a peaceful escape in the heart of the countryside.
Step inside and you’ll find a generously sized kitchen/diner, thoughtfully equipped with everything you’ll need to rustle up hearty meals after a day of exploring.
The rustic character of the property is immediately apparent, not least in the exposed beams that add a touch of traditional charm throughout the kitchen and adjoining living/dining room.
In the living space, unwind in front of the Smart TV or relax by the woodburning stove, a fine companion for those cooler evenings.
Gather around the dining table to share stories of the day’s adventures, all beneath the warm character of timber beams overhead.
Outside, the front lawn provides a spot for your canine companions to roam, while you sip your morning brew and plan the day ahead.
Whether you’re venturing into the nearby hills or simply enjoying the slower pace of rural living, The Long House offers a welcoming base from which to do it all.
When it's time to retire for the night, choose from two well-presented bedrooms: a twin room which can be converted into a super-king-size on request with an en-suite, with an enclosed shower and a family room featuring a double and single bed under the eaves - allowing a group of 5 to stay if including a child.
The property also benefits from a wet room, fitted with a walk-in shower, allowing everyone to prepare for their day.
The property is surrounded by an abundance of well-trodden footpaths to explore a field away from the Craig Sychtyn woods nature reserve and less than a mile mile from Offas Dyke Path, The Moelydd.
Venture out to explore the local area, where a plethora of attractions await.
