This house on the Wales-England border is surely the most popular place to celebrate the summer solstice, since the magnificent Stonehenge does not allow you to skip around the stones on the longest day of the year, in June.
There's plenty of space to do all the skipping you want at this mini version of the prehistoric monument, hidden away in the huge garden of this very attractive stone country house.
And anyway, Stonehenge is many miles away and you will share the experience with thousands of people, with the stones in the far distance, so owning your own version is a better option as well as being truly unique.

Of course, it's not a full-size circle of stones. There's no 13 foot high, 25-ton bluestones lugged from west Wales here.
And there's no history dating back to probably the Druids, but it does make an awesome place for a picnic and a guaranteed talking point with any visitor.
The stone circle can be found hiding within a private, enchanting woodland and is thought to have been built in 1840, so it is over 150 years old if not many thousands.
The quirky garden feature is actually called The Temple, but don't worry, no-one has been sacrificed at the stones, as far as anyone knows.
It is thought it was built using limestone from Llanymynech quarry as a folly for the Quinta estate, a sprawling local mansion described by website Quinta as being a 'gentleman's seat' during the 17th century and owned by the West family in the 18th century.
It is thought the surviving stone temple was built by Frederick West during his time at Quinta Hall as indeed a 'mock Stonehenge' in a field behind the mansion.
It was intended to be a half-scale replica of Stonehenge and positioned on a grassy mound next to Temple Wood to ensure prominence.
The past owner bought the woodland, that included the stone temple, in 1996 after buying the house in 1980, and grew to be very fond of the structure, thinking it has a unique beauty.
In the past, the stone temple has been used for marriage blessings, BBQs and family parties, so it has become almost an integrated member of the family, albeit a stone one.
It's no surprise to discover that the temple has been described as ‘one of the most eccentric park structures in Shropshire’ and now you have the chance to own it, as well as the delightful house that comes with it.
The gorgeous garden and land that comes with the house and the temple has so much to offer a new owner, who will be lucky to secure this property package as it has been in the same family for almost 40 years.
No wonder the current owners have lived here for many decades at this spot, surrounded by spectacular rural views on all sides of the house and site.
The property comes with a very attractive garden boasting majestic trees, mature shrubs and a riot of flowerbeds and planting around the formal lawns.
The garden has a calming yet visually stimulating parkland feel, so as well as your own homage to an ancient monument to visit, each day you will feel like you're wandering around your own area of outstanding natural beauty.
There's a vegetable garden supported by a greenhouse and shed too, and numerous paddocks within the land, which comes in at just under 13 acres.
Nestled within the grounds is a separate stone coach house that has already been the subject of a renovation project.
The charming building has been converted into two studio apartments that could, subject to planning consent and tweaking, become a holiday let or a home for another generational layer of the family, an office or occasional guest accommodation.
The house is called Temple Garth and is located on the edge of a rural village called Bronygarth, which sounds Welsh but is actually just inside the English side of the border.
The home itself is a handsome period property with a wealth of character features including exposed timbers, a wine cellar and stone fireplaces.
The kitchen is a particular highlight, boasting a vaulted, high ceiling with exposed beams which adds to the charm established by wood and cream painted units and a huge island unit below.
There is a Rayburn and an integrated oven and hob, as well as space for free-standing furniture and a separate pantry.
The formal dining room can boast not only dual aspect windows that frame staggering rural views across the countryside, but direct access to a sunny terrace via French doors for a seamless exit to continue eating in the sunshine alfresco style, when the weather allows.
The library is a charming room with inset log burner and fitted bookshelves, but arguably the most impressive social space is the spectacular dual aspect drawing room, perfect for entertaining, with ceiling beams and period stone fireplace the internal focal point.
All good country houses should have a cellar and Temple Garth can offer a new owner a decent sized basement with so much space for so much stuff, including wine.
Help with your hunt for a home here:
On the first floor there are four bedrooms, with the master having an ensuite as well three windows, and all spaces having pretty, pastel shade and country-style interior design.
There are two further bathrooms on this first floor, as well as access to an unconverted loft that, subject to planning and budget constraints, could create an even more breath-taking master suite.
Temple Garth enjoys a peaceful rural location twelve miles outside Wrexham, with superb views of the Ceiriog Valley and Welsh borderlands, perfect for relaxing and watching the sunrise on June 21, sitting amongst your own Stonehenge, or any other day of the year.
The house, land and special temple, is on the market for £1,150,000 with estate agent Strutt & Parker, call their Shrewsbury branch on 01743 817865 to find out more.
