its name from the Bechan Brook which rises at Gregynog Hall (Tregynon) and
joins the River Severn a mile to the East (“Aber” means confluence), where
there was also a wharf on the Shropshire Union Canal. This smallholding is set
between a b - class road and the Bechan brook, and has a Southerly aspect. The
house is set well back from the road and is approached over a tarmac and
concrete drive, via a gated cattle grid. At the top of the garden there is a
