THE BARNS
KEY FEATURES
Welcome to The Barns at Cwmllwydion, a rare opportunity to acquire two stunning barn conversions set within approximately 2.5 acres in the heart of Mid Wales. Recently transformed by the current owners, these historic barns have been meticulously converted into two modern family homes, finished to an exceptionally high standard while preserving their original charm.
Barn One, the larger of the two, features 4 bedrooms, an expansive garden, and a triple garage inside a private courtyard with electric gates. Barn Two offers 3 bedrooms and its own private gated access, providing clear separation between the two properties. A paddock of just under 2 acres completes this remarkable offering, presenting a unique opportunity to own two immaculate homes.
This property presents a unique combination of lifestyle, luxury, and versatility, offering a serene country escape with all the conveniences of modern living. The two barns provide a rare opportunity for multi-generational family living or a lucrative income-generating venture, all within the privacy of your own estate.
BARN ONE
Stepping inside, the entrance hall greets you with warmth and grandeur, showcasing an eye-catching oak U-shaped staircase and a convenient WC. The attention to detail in this space immediately hints at the quality and elegance that permeates the entire property.
To your left, an expansive open-plan area unfolds, designed with modern family living in mind. This heart of the home features a bespoke farmhouse-style kitchen, a spacious dining area, and a cozy sitting room. At its centre, a striking dual-aspect log burner set within a rustic brick surround creates a natural focal point. The kitchen, flooded with natural light from Velux windows set in the vaulted ceiling, is a perfect blend of style and functionality. The light cabinetry and tiled flooring complement the dark oak beams, evoking a seamless harmony between old-world charm and contemporary sophistication. With its central island, large range cooker, 1.5 Bowl inset Ceramic White Sink with Brushed Chrome Swan Neck Mixer Tap, with an American-style fridge freezer, this kitchen is not only a practical space but a delightful setting for culinary creativity. Integrated appliances like the microwave and dishwasher ensure modern convenience.
The adjoining dining area is ideal for hosting family gatherings and dinner parties. Double doors open onto the expansive rear garden, where you can savour uninterrupted views of the rolling countryside. The sitting area, framed by the impressive log burner, offers a welcoming space for family relaxation and socializing.
As you retreat back through the entrance hall, you enter the main living room—a true showstopper. The room is bathed in natural light, thanks to its wall-length bi-fold doors that open fully to seamlessly blend the indoors with the pristine rear gardens. During the summer, these doors transform the space, inviting the tranquil countryside in. In the winter, the underfloor heating ensures the room remains warm and cozy, offering a retreat from the chill. An additional room off the living space provides versatile options, from a home office to a playroom.
Practicality is not forgotten on the ground floor. A large utility area, complete with a deep ceramic white sink, drainer, and WC, offers access to the courtyard and side aspect. Additionally, a staircase leads to two boarded rooms above the extensive triple garage. While currently used for storage, this space offers incredible potential, from a home gym to a private annex or office suite. An external staircase ensures this area can be accessed independently from the main house.
Upstairs, the first floor is home to four generously sized double bedrooms, all of which have their own luxurious en-suite bathrooms. The oak beams, a consistent feature throughout the property, add a rustic yet elegant touch. The master suite is a true sanctuary, featuring a glamorous en-suite complete with a roll-top bath perfectly positioned to take in sweeping views down the valley, a walk-in rain shower, and a wall-length vanity unit. The three additional double bedrooms are equally impressive, each boasting their own en-suite with rain-effect showers.
BARN TWO
Welcome to Barn Two, an exquisite barn conversion offering the perfect blend of rustic charm and modern luxury. Attached to Barn One, yet completely private, this residence boasts its own gated entrance and gravelled parking area. From the moment you arrive, you’ll appreciate the attention to detail and high-quality finishes that make this property truly exceptional.
The open-plan ground floor is a triumph of contemporary design, seamlessly integrating the kitchen, dining area, and living room. At the heart of the kitchen is a stylish breakfast bar, perfect for casual dining. The kitchen is fitted with high-end appliances, including an integrated microwave, dishwasher, fridge freezer, ceramic sink, range cooker, and a wine chiller all thoughtfully designed to ensure functionality meets style.
This bright, open space extends into the dining area and flows effortlessly into the living room, where a feature log burner, set within a rustic brick surround, invites cozy evenings in during the colder months. For added convenience, the utility room on the ground floor houses the washing machine and tumble dryer, and includes a WC for practical everyday use.
Upstairs, you will find three generous double bedrooms, two of which boast en suite shower rooms. The family bathroom is equally luxurious, offering a relaxing retreat. Throughout the upper floor, an abundance of natural light pours through the Velux windows, highlighting the charming oak beams. These touches give the space a unique character that perfectly complements the modern amenities.
SELLER INSIGHT
Living at this property has been an incredible experience. We discovered it 8-9 years ago when it was just a derelict barn, and over the course of four years, we meticulously transformed it into a beautiful, high-spec barn conversion whilst retaining the original features such as the Welsh slate and original wood timbers. The journey started with converting the smaller barn, where we lived while completing the larger Barn 1. The effort was well worth it, as we now enjoy a home that seamlessly blends modern design with the charm of its historic roots.
What initially drew us here were the breathtaking, far-reaching views over the Severn Valley. The peaceful surroundings, combined with the spectacular natural scenery, make it feel like a retreat every day. Our favourite room is the large lounge in Barn 1, where bi-folding doors open up to bring the outdoors inside. Sitting there, we get to enjoy the stunning landscaped gardens and soak in the sunsets over the hills. The garden, which we designed for easy maintenance, has become a cherished space where we love watching the sun go down in the evening.
It would be a perfect place to raise a family.There’s so much safe space for children to explore—woods to build dens in and a babbling brook where they can play during the summer months. The area is incredibly family-friendly, with outstanding primary and secondary schools nearby in Llandinam and Caersws, as well as parks in both villages. The sense of community in these nearby villages is rare and vibrant, making it a wonderful place to be part of.
Commuting is easy, too. The train station is just a five-minute drive away, offering direct links to the Cambrian Coast, Shrewsbury, and Birmingham. A reliable local bus network adds to the convenience.
What we love most about living here is the peace and tranquillity. The southerly aspect floods the house with natural light throughout the day, and we’ve come to cherish the quiet mornings when the sun rises and casts a soft light over the trees lining the dingle. Evenings are equally magical with incredible sunsets.
Now, as we prepare to move on, we realize just how much we’ll miss this place. The property has become too large for us, and we’re looking for something smaller, but we’ll always treasure the memories of turning this barn into a home filled with light, beauty, and peaceful living.”*

STEP OUTSIDE
Barn One: Externally, Barn One offers extensive, south-westerly facing gardens, designed to capture sunlight throughout the day during the warmer months. The large slate patio provides an ideal space for hosting summer barbecues, outdoor dining, or simply enjoying a peaceful moment with a glass of wine as you soak in the breathtaking views under the retractable sun awning. The lower tier of the garden offers ample lawn space, along with a wooden outbuilding that could be used for garden storage, a games room, or even converted into an outdoor bar for entertaining.
Adding to the property’s appeal is a paddock of just under 2 acres, perfect for those dreaming of keeping a pony or small animals. A meandering stream runs through the paddock, adding a serene water feature to the landscape. The paddock also benefits from its own gated access off the country lane, making it practical and functional.
Electric gates lead into the enclosed parking and turning area providing plenty of space for several cars. There is also an attached garage which has rooms above, providing great potential for conversion subject to the relevant consents and is currently used as storage with space for four cars.
Barn Two: Gates lead into the gravel driveway with plenty or parking space. There is currently patio space with a hob tub but the outside space could easily be laid to lawn if preferred.
