Located within the grounds of Grade II-listed Norton Mill, this one-bedroomed abode sits beside a brook and looks across wooded grounds. Just 2 miles to the south, Presteigne is a lively little town with a wealth of historic buildings, a thriving artistic scene, and a choice of welcoming inns and eateries offering an authentic taste of local life. Make time to visit living-history attraction The Judge’s Lodging, and enjoy a wander around Withybeds, an island of woodland alongside the River Lugg. In the opposite direction, Knighton (5 miles) is the midway point and the only town to lie on the line of Offa’s Dyke National Trail, offering the opportunity for longer walks. Other must-see sights include Ludlow and Hay-on-Wye (both within 22 miles), and Leominster (16 miles). Further afield, Rhyader (25 miles) is on the Cambrian Way and edges the Elan Valley, famous for its spectacular dams and scenery.
A tree-lined lane announces your approach to this romantic retreat; park and pause to appreciate the peaceful setting before you begin the ascent to your brookside balcony. Step through the French doors and pop your self-catering supplies straight into the fridge and cupboards – the kitchen/diner is the first room you’ll enter, and full of light thanks to those doors to one end. Adjacent, the sitting room showcases the building’s sturdy structural beams and features a choice of soft seating where you can stretch out before a Smart TV for home-style entertainment. When it’s time to sleep, the sanctuary-like double bedroom and en-suite shower room are just a few steps beyond.
Birdsong and the babbling brook create a soothing backing track as you sit out on the balcony. Outdoor dining furniture allows you to enjoy food and drinks in the fresh air whenever the mood suits – in the right conditions, you can expect some lovely starry nights too. Parking for two cars is provided.
