With views over the majestic Berwyn mountains the recently restored Gwalia Grade II listed stone cottage at Llangynog, Powys, will offer its new owners a stunning home in a rural location.

The three-bedroom property has been placed on the market having undergone a complete renovation in 2019, including new wiring, plumbing and an oil-fired central heating system.

“It’s a stunning cottage that has been carefully restored to a very high standard,” said Roger Lunt, a Partner at Morris, Marshall and Poole with Norman Lloyd who are marketing the property.

“In addition to the internal renovation work, the slate roof has recently been stripped, felted and replaced. Internally, the floors have also been relayed and the walls finished in lime plaster with the original timbers left exposed where possible.”

Spectacular views towards the Berwyn mountains

He added: “Its location enjoys some spectacular views of the Berwyns as well as access to the stunning countryside surrounding the village.

“Anyone who views the property will be impressed with the renovation work and the finished rooms.”

The village is situated close to Llanfyllin, Bala and Oswestry, making it ideal for access into Mid and North Wales and the West Midlands and North West of England.

The property is being sold for £285,000 and viewing is by appointment through MMP/NL’s Oswestry office by emailing oswestry@morrismarshall.co.uk or telephone 01691 679595.

The property market in Mid Wales and Shropshire remains buoyant, despite the recent two week lockdown in Wales and the ongoing restrictions in England, according to Morris, Marshall and Poole with Norman Lloyd.

The chartered surveyors and auctioneers covering Powys, Shropshire, Ceredigion and Gwynedd have seen a surge in properties coming onto the market and being sold over the past couple of months.

Stamp Duty and Land Transaction Tax Holiday

This is due principally to the easing of Stamp Duty in England and the Land Transaction Tax in Wales, resulting in considerable savings for home sellers.

The property market in Wales and England is open, allowing house sales and moves.

Since the pandemic began, MMP/NL has adapted to working in a new and safe manner for employees and clients.

This has included virtual viewings and appraisals, although these are now permitted in person so long as Covid-19 social distancing guidance is adhered to.

Buying

If you're currently house hunting to make the most of the Stamp Duty and Land Transaction Tax holiday, remember that you can conduct a successful virtual viewing to minimise risk even further.

The benefit of viewing a property virtually is that you can decide whether you're seriously invested in the home before physically stepping through the door. You can even organise several viewings within a single day, all from the comfort of your home.

Selling

If you are looking to sell your property, remember that virtual valuations offer a safe, risk-free alternative to physical market appraisals.

But we can also undertake physical valuations and viewings while adhering to the government's Covid-19 regulations.

You can contact one of our offices at Newtown, Oswestry, Aberystwyth, Welshpool, Llanidloes, Rhayader, Tywyn, and Machynlleth.

A prime six-acre equestrian smallholding situated close to the Mid Wales coast has been placed on the market.

Llwyn Adda at Staylittle, near Talybont in Ceredigion not only boasts prime stables and outbuildings but includes a stunning and fully renovated four-bedroom house and landscaped grounds.

“Stunning is an understatement for this property. The house has been maintained to a very high standard throughout and combined with the well-kept landscaped grounds and surrounding countryside it is a beautiful property,” said Michael Williams, a Partner at Morris, Marshall and Poole with Norman Lloyd who are marketing the property.

Stables and menage

The stables have been finished to a high standard and include three loose boxes, a tack room, feed store and courtyard. It also has its own ménage.

The property has open views over neighbouring pastureland and saltmarshes towards the coastline towards Barmouth and Aberdyfi.

“It’s not often you’ll see a property of this standard coming on to the market and so we’re anticipating a lot of interest.

The property is reached through electric gates and along a sweeping driveway that leads to a courtyard.

Llwyn Adda has a guide price of £825,000 and viewings can be arranged by appointment through MMP/NL’s Aberystwyth office by contacting aberystwyth@morrismarshall.co.uk or telephone 01970 625 020.

The property market is very much open in England and Wales, although there have been differences in what you can and cannot do.

Here at Morris, Marshall and Poole with Norman Lloyd we are very much open to help you sell, buy or rent a home.

So, what can and can you not do?

In England during lockdown until 2 December 2020:

• we can value your home

• you can still sell or buy a property

• you can still rent a property

• you can still move

However, this must all be done under Covid-19 social distancing regulations. Something we are undertaking extremely seriously for the sake of our clients and employees.

In Wales

In Wales, up to 9 November 2020 you could only undertake a virtual viewing of a property, although house sales, house moves and surveys could take place.

From Monday, we can undertake property valuations, while sales, moves and lettings can continue.

However, any house moves must take place under strict Covid-19 social distancing regulations set out by the Welsh Government.

We will only value a property providing it can be done in a safe way for both the household and our employees.

Our team are available on the phone, by email or video conference to talk to you about valuing your property, selling it or helping you to buy one that you’ve seen.

Property lettings

If you are looking to rent a property we can also help you.

The property market was top of the conversation tab a recent meeting between Partners and staff at Morris, Marshall and Poole with Norman Lloyd and Montgomeryshire MP, Craig Williams.

Mr Williams met the MMP/NL team at their Llanidloes office. He was on a fact-riding tour of local businesses.

"It was good to meet Mr Williams to discuss the property and lettings market in the area and how coronavirus regulations and impacted on our business," said Andrew Turner, a Partner at MMP/NL.

Unprecedented sales in the local housing market

"The current reduction in Land Transaction Tax and Stamp Duty is seeing unprecedented sales in the housing market, but we must also look ahead to 2021 and how the regional market will be affected by the ongoing coronavirus situation."

Mr Williams said: "The housing market has been very busy as well as the rental market. The sector has faced many challenges with lockdown and house sale rules but I know they're working very hard at the moment. Fantastic local business."
