A few miles west of Newtown, lying in the heart of the Severn Valley, is the vibrant village of Caersws. Caer is Welsh for fort and Swsen was a queen in Roman times. Two hundred years ago, farming was the dominant occupation and served the woollen mills in the three storey houses that line Main Street and Manthrig Lane. Today, the 1,500 residents of Caersws are surrounded by beautiful countryside and enjoy a good quality of life.
Estate agents in Caersws represent a mix of terraced and semi-detached cottages and houses, stylish modern bungalows, and a variety of larger residences including detached white-walled cottages. Property for sale in Caersws also includes stone-built Victorian houses, some stunning converted period buildings, and a wide choice of post-war family-sized houses.
In the 19th century, to combat poverty in Caersws and the local villages, a massive workhouse was built. Ironically, the impressive building has recently been converted into luxury flats and maisonettes.
