The Stables is situated just outside the pretty village of Mochdre in the heart of the countryside on the mid Wales and Shropshire border. The nearest town is one of the oldest Newtowns in the country, and began its life in the early 13th Century. It has an active and thriving community, with activities for all ages, shops and facilities, schools, and a regular market.

There are pretty Shropshire towns to explore just 20 minutes across the border and Shrewsbury is perfect for days out and cultural activities. It only takes an hour in the car to get to the Elan Valley or to the coast which is wonderful for family days out and bracing walks along the dramatic coastline.

The local country lanes are great horse riding and walking opportunities yet only 32 miles from the town of Shrewsbury and the motorway networks beyond. The Stables is one of a small group of three detached homes sympathetically converted from the original Perth-y-Bu Farm.

The property comprises the following accommodation (measurements are provided for identification only):

“We fell in love with the idea of living in a house in the hills with beautiful views, clean air and little traffic; it is a much

healthier lifestyle compared to city living. We have spectacular views

towards the Kerry Ridgeway and can see as far as Shropshire.” Since

moving to The Stables, Jeff and Linda have improved the property by

creating a landscaped garden area, adding further multi-fuel stoves

to the hall and dining room and fitting a luxury family bathroom.

“The property is mainly surrounded by farmland and when we moved in there was mud rather than a garden. My husband took it upon

himself to create flower beds, herb gardens and an orchard to the rear of the house. From the orchard we make cider and share it with friends and family, it is

particularly popular with our sons,” laughs Linda. “There is also a paddock area that remains and is perfect if you have or would like to keep horses,” she explains.

“I work from home a lot,” says Linda, “which is the perfect testament as to how much we enjoy living here. The views and area are extremely inspiring and motivating. I

mainly work from the upstairs sitting room which leads onto the large terrace and I often take my laptop outside to work from there.”


“The Stables offer a wonderful lifestyle to those wishing to escape the city for a better way of life, who want to live in beautiful surroundings with country and riverside walks, it is also great to ride your bike alongside the Montgomery canal to Welshpool and beyond,” explains Linda.

“Newtown is approximately seven minutes away by car and there you have supermarkets, art galleries and the railway station. It is a lovely town with several bridges

linking the parks on either side of the river Severn which surrounds it. I am reluctant to leave the way of life offered here, but unfortunately my career requires it. I will

miss the fresh air, the views and our borehole which means we have our own supply of mineral water, we really have been very lucky,”
