About this property
Bursting with charm, this homely cottage boasting a wonderful, enclosed garden nestled in the heart of Hay-on-Wye is the perfect base to explore everything that Powys and Herefordshire has to offer. The quaint market town of Hay-on-Wye is famed for its bookshops and together with the stunning scenery of the River Wye, offers opportunities for canoeing and plenty of picnic spots beside the river. Explore Hay-on-Wye’s myriad new and second-hand bookshops, unique local shops, cafes, bars, and restaurants, or the weekly farmers' market, which showcases some of the area’s best seasonal local produce and crafts. From Hay-on-Wye, keen walkers can join wonderful walks including Offa's Dyke at the foot of the Black Mountains and the Wye Valley Walk, cyclists can enjoy mountain biking, whilst those who love life on the water can hire canoes locally or find a range of other water sports at Llangorse Lake 13 miles away.
Beneath the traditional stone exterior, you’ll discover a welcoming rustic charm in the cosy lounge that leads off the entrance hallway; the crackling wood burner and charming exposed brick and stone work fireplace create the perfect atmosphere for complete relaxation. Adjoining the lounge via a set of glass doors is the dining room, an ideal spot to savour your fabulous local produce or to plan tomorrow’s adventure around the dining table. Flooded with ample natural sunlight from a set of patio doors leading to the garden, the contemporary kitchen radiates style and sophistication, equipped with everything needed to enjoy culinary creativity. Upstairs, you’ll find two light and airy double bedrooms that offer a sanctuary of serenity to retreat to at the end of a long day’s exploration. The contemporary family bathroom upstairs provides everything necessary to feel revitalised from sunrise to sunset.
Outside, the lower level patio is a beautiful suntrap, the perfect spot for your morning coffee. The enclosed garden features a lawn, some lush mature planting, and a raised patio, ideal for a glass of something chilled at sundown.
