About this property
Capel Llani is a magnificent converted chapel resting in Llanidloes, Powys. Originally dating from the early nineteenth century and thoughtfully transformed with great care for a building long cherished by the town, this remarkable holiday home blends historic character with relaxed grandeur. Featuring designated parking for two cars, beautiful stained glass windows, an enclosed garden, and generous social spaces, it is an exceptional choice for larger families and groups looking to gather beneath soaring ceilings in a truly distinctive setting.
From the moment you approach its striking exterior, reminiscent of a miniature castle, the sense of occasion is unmistakable. Enter through the paved garden and discover interiors filled with light filtering through colourful stained glass, creating a wonderful atmosphere throughout the day. William Morris curtains complement the building's heritage, while the sympathetic renovation preserves the chapel's original spirit without sacrificing practicality. At the heart of the home is an expansive open-plan living space, where a large dining area sits alongside a well-equipped kitchen centred around a range electric oven and hob. Nearby, the sitting area provides ample room for conversation, shared meals, and evenings spent together. Entertainment comes in abundance, with a projector, pool table, table tennis, table football, darts, and even a piano adding to the experience. Upstairs, four beautifully presented bedrooms include two king-size rooms with en-suite shower rooms, alongside a double room and a super-king-size four-poster bedroom. A family bathroom with a freestanding bath and walk-in shower completes the accommodation, while the first-floor lounge, framed by stunning stained-glass windows, offers a memorable place to gather as evening falls.
The centre of Llanidloes is moments away, where timber-framed buildings and the historic Market Hall showcase the town's rich heritage. Venture to Clywedog Reservoir for waterside walks, dramatic scenery, and wildlife spotting opportunities. Explore Newtown and discover Oriel Davies Gallery, the Robert Owen Museum, and the riverside setting of Dolerw Park. Alternatively, head to Machynlleth, home to the Museum of Modern Art, Y Plas, and the Dyfi Osprey Project. Rich in character and designed for memorable gatherings, Capel Llani offers a truly remarkable Powys escape.
The market town of Llanidloes nestles on the eastern slopes of the Cambrian Mountains, with access to some of the most unspoilt and undiscovered scenery both Wales and the Welsh/Shropshire Borders have to offer. Locally, there are plenty of activities to enjoy, with walking, cycling, riding, fishing, tennis, golf, swimming and shooting all available within 10 miles. Further afield, but still within easy touring distance, are a host of attractions: Powis Castle (National Trust), with its world famous gardens, is just 20 miles away; the Welsh Coast, with its fine beaches, is less than an hour’s drive; Rhayader and the Elan Valley are 40 minutes away; the Shropshire towns of Ludlow and Shrewsbury are within easy reach, as are the popular North Wales destinations of Llangollen and Snowdonia. A picturesque region, ideal for an action packed holiday or a relaxing break.
