Overview
Property code: 77381

This architect designed home finished with a contemporary style enjoys views across the countryside and is within walking distance of the vibrant market town of Hay-on-Wye.

Boasting a brilliant location for book lovers and adventurers, escape to the literary hub of Hay-on-Wye which sits on the tip of the Brecon Beacons National Park. The garden is treated to verdant views and is the perfect spot to spend sunny evenings with a glass of something cold in hand. Inside, contemporary style underpins the interior, whisking you right into holiday mode from the moment you step foot inside.

Cosy and stylish, this home is great for enjoying moments of relaxation and for planning adventures in the magical Brecon Beacons. The large corner sofa welcomes you to sink down and switch off in front of the TV for cosy film nights or liven things up and dance along to your favourite song on the Sonos soundbar with the open patio doors keeping you cool. A trio of Alexas will help you keep the good tunes flowing as you head into the kitchen/diner to rustle up a feast. Here, sleek lines and fresh tones create a calm environment in which to exert your culinary skills. With light flooding in, you can admire the green hues of the scenery through the glass as you cook. Plate up before sipping al fresco tipples outside and heading to bed in one of three first-floor bedrooms with charming style.

Roam the characterful streets of Hay-on-Wye which are dotted with bookshops, eateries and galleries for you to peruse. Time your trip to coincide with the annual literary festival or make a splash and paddle at the beautiful riverside meadow known as The Warren or hire kayaks in nearby Glasbury (4.5 miles). Venturing into the Brecon Beacons, peaks, lakes and bustling villages await. The activity centre at Llangorse (13.5 miles) is great for adrenaline seekers whilst the highest peak in South Wales, Pen-y-Fan commands breathtaking vistas from its summit, 24 miles from home.

This is a beautiful house in a great location. It is very well equipped for humans & their furry friends. The views across the garden to the hills are lovely.

Although equipped excellently there is no provision other than a drying rack ( and no heating as not on yet) to dry wet clothes or towels etc. It was coolish some evenings. A comfortable, clean house, well equipped a short walk into Hay and close to an excellent Coop store. We would though most certainly want to return to HayHouse.
