Follow the long driveway and instantly feel the stress fall away as you approach this quirky, completely off-grid hideaway - even the electricity is from a generator. Open the original door, lift the latch, and explore the creatively designed kitchen on the ground floor. This perfectly appointed kitchen boasts all the essentials for whipping up Welsh rarebits or experimenting with the ingredients you sourced on your travels. Upstairs, the open-plan lounge/diner is the ideal setting for a romantic meal for two or for unwinding in front of the wood burner with the Smart TV. Above, the open-plan bedroom overlooks the lovely lounge area and provides attractive decor with a super-king-size bed. Enjoy a rejuvenating shower in the ground-floor shower room in the morning.
Surrounding this charming home are 3 acres of magical woodland with streams, a Roman bridge, and an abundance of visiting wildlife. Stunning mountain views can be seen while you drink your first coffee of the day, while the evenings are ideally set up for cosy chats around the fire pit or tipples underneath glowing starlight. Parking is available for 2 cars, and the property boasts handy storage for bikes and paddleboards.
