An idyllic house at Britain’s tallest waterfall is up for sale for £950,000 – and comes with its own tearoom and campsite.
Tan-y-Pistyll – or little house under the waterfall – sits at the 240 feet-high Pistyll Rhaeadr falls in the Berwyn Mountains in Wales, west of Oswestry.
But prospective buyers will get more than just a quaint detached three-bedroom home featuring its own private garden and parking area.
The property is also a business venture and includes a camping field, 25 acres of land and a tearoom featuring a two-bedroom apartment and showman’s caravan. The site also includes a prayer lodge used for ceremonies, customer car park and public toilets.

Estate agents say the beauty spot business is the perfect spot for walkers taking on the three-mile circuit to cross the fall and reach the car park via an old quarry.
