MAIN HOUSE
Powis House is a fine baronial country house steeped in history and set in stunning mature policy gardens and grounds.

The Main House has an attractive porch which is flanked by two stone columns leading into the entrance hall which has a cloak cupboard. The well proportioned dining room sits off the hall and has an ornate cornice, log burning stove with marble mantel, two presses and windows with working shutters, including a large south facing bay window overlooking the garden. There is a sitting room with log burner, and a study with fitted bookshelves overlooking the front of the house. The kitchen also overlooks the front garden and has a two oven AGA. The ground floor is completed by a WC, store room and boiler room with door leading outside.

The spectacular first floor drawing room sits off the landing. It has the same stunning proportions and aspects as the dining room below, including the large bay window. Characterful features include an open fireplace with marble mantel, a decorative cornice and hand painted panels above the doors.

The second floor has three further bedrooms, two of which have en suite bathrooms, and a further bathroom.
