This beautiful detached property in a remote location where you can experience life off-grid is ideal for families, friends, and up to two lucky pups. Surrounded by the rugged scenery of the Bannau Brycheiniog (Brecon Beacons) National Park, your pups can lead you along the well-waymarked footpaths up onto the ridges of the Black Mountains. By car, you can follow the mountain pass onto the base of Hay Bluff (3.5 miles) and from the top enjoy breathtaking views across the countryside. Access to this characterful property is via a gated farm track that can be bumpy. Enter via a heavy wooden door through the porchway into the open-plan living area, full of rustic charm and picture windows. Relax on the comfortable lounge seating with your canine companions snoozing and head to the dining area for meals. The kitchen runs along the rear of the open-plan space and is in the old farmhouse part of the property, offering everything you need to rustle up a hearty meal. You can access the barn section with vaulted ceilings, a table tennis table and other games from here. A staircase leads to the first floor with a shower room and three bedrooms within the eaves: two double rooms and a single room. Outside, the gardens are open to the adjoining farmland and walking trails. Enjoy a small walled area with seating, a secluded pond area with seating and great views to the front of the property. Explore the area’s history, nature and culture and head to the vibrant market town of Hay-on-Wye (8 miles), located on the banks of the River Wye and known as the ‘Town of Books’.
