Location
Pool Quay, located in Powys, Wales, is a historic village and ecclesiastical parish. Its name comes from being the highest navigable point on the river near Welshpool, originally called Pool or Poole. The village served as a quay for Pool and was also on the Montgomery Canal, facilitating trans shipment between the canal and river. The town of Welshpool and Oswestry are both just a ten - fifteen minute drive away whilst the town of Shrewsbury is also easily accessible. Good road links provide easy access to the coast whilst motorways link the area to larger cities and airports.

Some History
Pool Quay was once a key location for trade and transportation, with the Severn River and the Montgomery Canal passing through. The village was served by the Cambrian Railways and its successors until 1965, although the station was some distance from the main village. the grounds of the property lay testament to this with lots of railway artefacts and remnants being found within the gardens. The village is near the site of Strata Marcella Abbey where a lot of the building materials for the adjoining barn have originated from. The word Bastel comes from the meaning for a fortified farmhouse, with accommodation for livestock on the vaulted ground-floor, usually found in the Border counties of Scotland and England. The word byre relates to the building where cows are kept.

A new deep trech foundation has been formed and a cavity brick wall rebuilt ontop replicating the previous English Garden wall bond. Rafters have also been replaced in their entirey and the time framing tied back to the newly built rear wall.
