Bryn Tanat
Shrewsbury

Situated on the border of Shropshire and Powys, Bryn Tanat sits on the banks of the River Tanat overlooking the Breidden Hills to the south and west to the Meifod valley, offering stunning panoramic views of the picturesque countryside. Providing superb country living in this impressive estate house with oak framed rooms dating back to the late 17th century, but with enigmatic evidence suggesting a dwelling on the land going further back to the early Bronze Age, Bryn Tanat and surrounding estate is an area steeped in history and grandeur. Bryn Tanat offers an unrivalled location for a perfect country holiday getaway - its south-facing sunny position overlooks the sloping terraced gardens which are magnificently landscaped and ideal for outside entertaining. Owned since 1967 by the family, the property has been lovingly restored with the retention of many original features, exposed timbers and open fires which all help to create a truly amazing atmosphere. <br />Locally there are a number of good restaurants, two convenience stores, a petrol station and a post office. Its geographical position makes it ideal for the exploration of mid and north Wales, Shropshire and Cheshire. The market towns of Oswestry and Welshpool are less than a 20-minute drive and the medieval town of Shrewsbury and walled city of Chester are less than 40 minutes away. Days out locally may include visiting three great NT properties, Powis Castle, Chirk Castle and Erddig, a day at Bangor-on-Dee or Chester races, a trip on a steam train or canal boat. A little further afield are Snowdon or the west Wales coastline with its fabulous sandy beaches. Walking, horseriding, clay pigeon shooting and golf available locally, and Bryn Tanat has rights to 1 mile of fishing on the River Tanat from its riverside lawn and woodland. Pub 1&frac12; miles.<br />Bryn Tanat offers fine dining with full chef and maid service. For a romantic evening dine and dance in the elegant garden room overlooking the south-facing terrace, perhaps to a pianist or swing band. Celebration cakes and a florist are available.
