“We first came to view Fron Farmhouse on a Thursday, which is market day in Montgom-ery, and we immediately loved the vibrant and welcoming feel of the town. When we got to the beginning of the lane leading to the house, I remember we both turned to each other and said we felt we had come home. We always said the house would speak to us and so it has.”

vendor“The kitchen is the part of the house that we tend to spend the most time in,” continues Tiggy, “as it’s a lovely large sociable space, a real family

kitchen. The units were designed and handmade by a

friend of ours, and I had all the old wall units taken down

to show off the Tudor part of the house; now you can

really see how it was constructed.” “From the kitchen,

and also the music room, we have patio doors onto the

terraces outside,” adds Chris, “and that’s lovely because

you can open them up and sit out with a bottle of wine

and soak in those views; there’s really nothing better!”


insight This hugely characterful and very unique property sits in an idyllic location, enveloped by mile upon mile of stunning Welsh countryside. “The original part of the house

dates back to Tudor times,” says Chris, “and then in the Georgian

era a large extension was added. It sounds like an unusual

combination, but it’s actually very beautiful. Some renovation had

been done by previous owners” says Tiggy,” and we decided to

make our own changes to bring it up to the 21st Century, but in a

very sympathetic way.”



“Montgomery is an absolutely stunning town,” says Chris, “and although

we’re situated at the end of a single track lane (serendipitous!). It only takes around

six minutes to get there, the only traffic we encounter is the odd car and flock

of sheep.”



Montgomery has everything from the world famous Bunners hardware store, mini supermarket and other individual retail outlets, to a

Michelin Star restaurant, it’s a fabulous place.”
