Welcome To Plas Trefaldwyn

Set within an enviable position at the heart of the historic town of Montgomery, Plas Trefaldwyn is a residence of remarkable heritage, architectural presence, and enduring charm.

Inside The Home

A welcoming reception hallway sets an immediate tone of warmth and grandeur, leading through to an inner staircase hall that forms the heart of the home. A second staircase and striking stone-flagged rear hall further emphasise the scale and thoughtful layout of this impressive residence.

The principal reception rooms are beautifully proportioned and ideal for both formal entertaining and relaxed living. The elegant dining room and drawing room both enjoy delightful views across the sweeping gardens, seamlessly connecting the interior with its surroundings. A particular highlight is the drawing room’s raised loggia, which flows effortlessly into the garden room enhancing natural light and creating a graceful transition between spaces.

Additional reception rooms provide exceptional versatility, including a charming sitting room, believed to have once been the original kitchen, and a refined front-facing library offering a contemplative retreat. The breakfast kitchen forms the practical heart of the home complete with a range of wall and base units, double sink and drainer, space for dishwasher and striking Aga.

Further ground floor amenities include a utility room, pantry, shower room, and separate WC, ensuring everyday living is as functional as it is elegant.

The second floor continues to impress, offering three further bedrooms, a versatile attic room, a second kitchen, and a shower room—perfectly suited to multi-generational living, guest accommodation, or independent use.

Gardens & Grounds

The gardens and grounds are a defining feature of the property, offering both beauty and seclusion. Mature planting creates a sense of privacy, while carefully designed spaces invite exploration and enjoyment.

Stone steps lead to a formal box-hedged parterre, once used for vegetables and cutting flowers, now a charming feature that reflects the property’s heritage. From elevated positions, the grounds enjoy far-reaching views across the surrounding landscape, changing beautifully with the seasons.

A walled carriage driveway provides an impressive approach, with ample parking and direct access to the detached coach house. Extending to approximately 3.65 acres, the grounds represent a rare and valuable asset within such a central setting.

The Coach House

The detached stone coach house is a particularly noteworthy addition, rich in character and offering exceptional flexibility. The Coach House has previously been granted full planning permission for conversion into a 3 bedroom dwelling offer huge potential. Arranged over two storeys in part and benefiting from its own electricity supply, it presents exciting potential for a variety of uses.

An Insight to Life at Plas Trefladwyn

“Plas Trefaldwyn has long been a place where our large family came together to celebrate special occasions and enjoy the tranquility of country life. Our parents first “discovered” Montgomery in the early 1970s and were immediately captivated by what felt like a hidden gem of a town. The unusual Georgian square, together with its many iconic and historic buildings, gave the town a unique charm that stayed with them.

What made Plas Trefaldwyn especially appealing was the rare combination of being a historic house set within private grounds, whilst still being only a few minutes’ walk from the square and the vibrant life of the town. The superb outlook towards Corndon Hill made it even more alluring.

There has always been a very warm and welcoming feeling on arriving home to Plas Trefaldwyn. Whether returning after a busy day or after time away, the house immediately offers a sense of calm, comfort and familiarity. The private bedroom balcony overlooking the surrounding landscape and the quiet beauty of the grounds only add to that feeling of retreat and sanctuary.

Plas Trefaldwyn is ideally suited to those who value family life, entertaining, history and community. It is a house that naturally brings people together and offers space for both lively gatherings and peaceful retreat.

There is also exciting potential for future enhancement, including the original barn and yard which previously obtained planning permission for conversion into a dwelling, alongside opportunities to restore the courtyard garden, kitchen garden and orchard areas.

Montgomery offers a rare combination of history, beauty and community spirit. The town itself is rich in architectural character, centred around its remarkable Georgian square and supported by a welcoming and active local community.

Longstanding residents and newcomers alike are encouraged to become part of local life and share in its strong sense of camaraderie.”
