THE VRON

is in an elevated position with a South East aspect set amidst beautiful farming countryside and the spectacular hills of the Powys/Herefordshire border. It is just a mile from New Radnor with its local services, 8 miles Kington, 24 Leominster and 25 Hereford.

The property comprises a period stone built residence dating back to the 17th century bounded on one side by a period stone barn to form a sheltered courtyard with a Southerly aspect having views over the garden area to picturesque hills. To the East of the house there are three further stone barns all having potential for a variety of uses. The house and barns are bounded by paddocks, two small copses and a Dutch barn.

From the property there is a bridle way over Fron Hill to a vast area of common hill land ideal for equestrian purposes.
