Montgomery 2.6 miles. Shepherd's Rest, a newly-built, contemporary lodge stands amidst glorious rolling countryside in Llandyssil near Montgomery, close to the Welsh/Shropshire border, in an isolated location, just off a quiet country lane. The owner's house rests at the end of the road, and beyond that, your only neighbour is the incredible countryside that surrounds you. Shepherd's Rest is a luxurious stone and wood lodge, ideal for a couple or small group or family wanting to enjoy the tranquility of this area of rural Wales. Enter this all-ground-floor property into a bright and airy open-plan living area with bi-folding doors that allow in plenty of natural light and showcase the incredible countryside views. There is a dining table set for four, where you can catch up and enjoy meals as a group, prepared in the contemporary, well-equipped kitchen, which has all the appliances you'll need for your self-catered stay, while the utility room has a washing machine, should you require it. You can even gather your own eggs from the free range chickens that are on-site, and start every day with a hearty breakfast. The sitting room offers an L-shaped sofa, big enough for everyone to sit and relax together with the cosy woodburner and underfloor heating warming the space on a cooler day, or you can throw open the bi-fold doors for plenty of natural light, a refreshing breeze and spectacular countryside views. The lodge has two bedrooms; a master super-king-size with ample storage space, a TV and patio doors that open onto the garden with direct access to the private hot tub and the BBQ, and showcase the incredible views, plus a twin bedroom with zip/link feature, that also has a TV and an en-suite shower room with rainfall shower for added convenience, while both rooms have been thoughtfully provided with monogrammed towels, robes and bespoke toiletries, a lovely touch to enhance your experience.
