A handsome period property standing in grounds of approximately 2.5 acres on the outskirts of Welshpool. Having been owned by the same family for nearly 50 years, Elmhurst is an extremely handsome property of elegant proportion standing in a secluded location on the outskirts of Welshpool. Believed to have been built around 1840 by the family of the Earl of Powis, the property has a fantastic range of accommodation over four floors (including cellars), with many of the primary rooms orientated around the south facing rear elevation. An impressive entrance hallway gives access to three primary reception rooms, all of which have working fireplaces and delightful views over the grounds. A second inner hallway links to the large kitchen and adjacent breakfast room, along with the utility room and ground floor bathroom. The breakfast room has access out to the rear terrace via double French doors. Access to the cellars completes the ground floor accommodation. Stairs rise to the first floor where four large double bedrooms are arranged, the most notable being the principal bedroom with its triple aspect and walk through dressing room. These first-floor bedrooms are served by a large family bathroom and separate W.C. The final two bedrooms are found on the second floor, served by a further W.C. Many of the bedrooms have wonderful views over the landscaped grounds. Garden and Grounds Totalling approximately 2.5 acres, Elmhurst stands beautifully within its grounds, approached by a long sweeping driveway leading to the front of the property. The driveway and front gardens are flanked by mature woodland, offering excellent privacy and a tranquil environment. To the rear of the property are beautiful, landscaped gardens which have been carefully planted over the years to give all year-round colour and interest. Beyond the immediate formal gardens is a productive kitchen garden with two greenhouses. This part of the grounds is walled to the west, providing a wonderful feature and an element of protection. Further to the south is an area of ground which has separate historic road access and could have the potential for residential development, subject to the necessary planning permissions. The house and grounds are complemented by a number of outbuildings including a large, detached stone garage and various garden stores.
