American style living at equestrian property on market with Berrys

If good views and tranquil countryside are on your wish list and you are looking for an equestrian property, Cefn Goleu at Pont Robert, Meifod, Powys has just been launched by Berrys with a £350,000 guide.

A ring fenced smallholding in an elevated yet private location, Cefn Goleu includes a detached property together with an American-style stable barn, outbuildings and 15 acres of land.

With Meifod and Welshpool close by, the area has a range of schooling, employment and recreational opportunities including extensive horse riding in the surrounding Forestry Commission woodland, Caereinion Leisure Centre, Powis Castle and Lake Vyrnwy.

The two-bedroom property, constructed about 30 years ago, offers great potential for extension and improvement, subject to gaining the necessary planning consent.

Paddocks at Cefn Goleu

The accommodation briefly comprises: entrance hall; kitchen/living room with exposed timber beams, larder, brick fireplace with wooden mantelpiece, Jetmaster fire and back boiler; rear hall; living room with parquet flooring, exposed timber beams, brick fireplace and Jetmaster fire and patio doors to garden, and bathroom.

On the first floor, a landing leads to two bedrooms, both with storage cupboards, and a cloakroom.

The extensive gardens surrounding the house include lawn area to the front with shrub borders, large, well-stocked fruit and vegetable gardens to the side and orchards. 

The property is a registered organic holding and has previously been used as an equestrian stud farm.  All the buildings have electricity connected and the land is well fenced with walkways linking the paddocks, stables and field shelters. Water is available in all paddocks.

The modern steel framed American Barn (13.4 x 13.7m) is internally divided into four stables with sliding doors, anti-weave bars, automatic drinkers and mangers, a foaling box with viewing pane into kitchen/storage area and loft above. The adjacent, concrete-surfaced holding pen leads to the post and railed paddocks.

There is also a timber outbuilding along with storage building, lean-to hay store and concrete yard area leading to walkways and paddocks and two field shelters, both with integral loose box/store.

The gently sloping pastureland is suitable for horse and stock grazing and is divided into five main paddocks bordered by double post and rail fencing. Approximately two acres of mature, deciduous woodland is also included.

“This is an excellent equestrian holding suitable for use as a family home or for business purposes,” said Sarah Reece, equestrian specialist handling the sale for Berrys at Shrewsbury.

“Flexible equestrian properties with such potential are quite scarce in the area so we are anticipating a great deal of interest. The property has good facilities and is in an ideal situation, close to riding and other equestrian facilities,” she added.
