SITUATION
Cwmwr Uchaf is nestled within the quiet, unspoilt hills of Hirnant, a rural hamlet in the Tanat Valley, near the edge of Eryri (Snowdonia) National Park. Surrounded by sweeping moorland, rolling farmland, and forested hills, it offers a truly tranquil setting with miles of scenic trails and cycling routes right from the doorstep.

Despite its seclusion, the property is just a 5 minute drive from Penybontfawr, which provides local amenities including a community shop, pub, and primary school. The historic border town of Oswestry lies approximately 30 minutes away and offers a wider range of shops, restaurants, schools, and healthcare. Lake Vyrnwy and Bala are within easy reach for watersports and day trips, while the coastal towns of North Wales are accessible for extended excursions.

The location is ideal for buyers seeking a restorative escape with lifestyle potential — be it walking, birdwatching, dark skies stargazing, or simply retreating from the pace of modern life.
