An attractive and spacious stone built Detached Period Family House with lovely gardens, garage and outbuildings in a most desirable rural location backing onto farmland with easy access to the main A5 commuter route.
Directions - From Oswestry head north on the A5 to the Gledrid roundabout and take the first exit for Weston Rhyn. Proceed along Station Road through the village to the far end. At the roundabout take the second exit onto Bronygarth Road (left hand side of shop). Follow this road passing the church on the right and the Quinta Christian Conference Centre on the left. Take the next turning left, proceed under the small bridge bearing right and the house/courtyard will be found immediately on the left.
Situation - The property occupies a lovely unspoilt rural location in the small hamlet of Quinta, with a number of country lanes leading away from the property, offering some lovely walks. The neighbouring village of Weston Rhyn offers basic amenities including shop, post office, church, pub and primary school. The local town of Oswestry, approx. 4.4 miles, has a more comprehensive range of amenities. Commuters will find that the property is well placed for easy access to the A5 which is just beyond Weston Rhyn and gives access south beyond Oswestry to Shrewsbury and Telford or north to Wrexham, Chester and beyond. Gobowen Railway Station is nearby giving access to mainline routes for commuters.
Description - Tyn Y Pistyll provides a wonderful opportunity to acquire an imposing individual stone built detached country house, which offers deceptively spacious accommodation, whilst being versatile particularly to the ground floor layout. The bedroom accommodation is well proportioned and provides a bathroom on both the first floor and ground floor, however there may be scope to provide an en-suite facility to Bedroom 4, which then could be utilised as the principal bedroom. There is ample scope for modernisation, which would no doubt allow prospective purchasers to incorporate their own tastes and requirements. There are a number of interesting features to the accommodation including tiled floors, original parquet flooring, exposed beamed ceilings, fireplaces and two staircases. The property has the benefit of a new roof (approx. 5-6 years ago) and has been fully rewired (approx. 10 years ago).
Outside the house is set in delightful gardens and will of no doubt be of interest to families and garden enthusiasts. The main lawned garden is bordered by some stone walling and lovely mature trees which extend down the flank of the house to the large vegetable garden which could be altered to more formal gardens if required. Beyond the tree line on the boundary to the property is open farmland which provides lovely open views and this could perhaps be opened up. There is a useful range of stone stores, including a garage.

The Gardens - There are a number of delightful features to the garden including lovely old stone walling, quaint pathways, nooks and crannies. The main formal garden lies off the reception rooms and includes a mixed flagged and quarry tiled pathway with steps rising to high level lawn which is divided by a pathway and incorporates a number of mature trees including Laurel and Silver Birch. The boundary adjacent to the lane includes an old stone wall whilst on the other side is a mature hedge and trees backing onto farmland. The side garden area includes pathways interspersed by Laurel hedging and trees and an old Oak tree, whilst again backing onto farmland.
To the rear of the outbuildings is an EXTENSIVE VEGETABLE GARDEN divided into multiple growing areas by pathways and includes a soft fruit cage and an aluminium framed GREENHOUSE.
