Llanfair Road, Newtown, SY16

Offered for sale for the first time since it was built in 1972, Deatswore is a detached four bedroom chalet-style home occupying a generous elevated plot with far-reaching views across the valley to the hills beyond.

A much-loved family home for over fifty years, it offers spacious accommodation, beautiful gardens and an enviable setting, with an exciting opportunity for its next owners to update and personalise it to their own taste. The accommodation is far larger than first impressions suggest.

A welcoming hallway with a striking open-tread hardwood staircase and parquet flooring sets the mid-century tone and leads through to a generous living room, also laid with parquet flooring, featuring a fireplace and French doors opening onto the garden. Glazed double doors connect to the dining room, creating an easy flow for family life and entertaining, while the adjoining sun room is perfectly positioned to enjoy the wonderful views. The kitchen has remained largely unchanged since the property was built, offering plenty of scope to create a space suited to modern living, with a utility area and separate WC beyond. Also on the ground floor are a double bedroom and the family bathroom, fitted with both a bath and separate shower.

Upstairs are three further double bedrooms, two of which are particularly generous in size, with extensive built-in wardrobes and dormer windows framing the beautiful outlook across the valley and surrounding countryside.

Outside, the gardens are a real highlight. A sweeping concrete driveway provides parking for numerous vehicles and leads to the garage and carport, while the generous gardens wrap around the house with paved seating areas, lawns, mature trees, established shrubs and colourful wildflowers, creating a peaceful and private setting. A stream runs along the bottom of the garden, while the elevated position ensures the far-reaching views can be enjoyed throughout the seasons.

Homes like Deatswore are becoming increasingly difficult to find. Combining generous accommodation, a substantial plot and an exceptional setting, it is a rare opportunity to acquire a well-loved home and enjoy putting your own stamp on it for many years to come.
