Property Details

This delightful country cottage offers a rare opportunity to acquire a slice of rural charm just a short distance from the literary town of Hay-on-Wye. Originally constructed in the 1880s, the property was thoughtfully extended around 20 years ago and now presents a perfect blend of period features and modern convenience and is being offered with no onward chain.



The ground floor includes a welcoming entrance hallway with stairs to the first floor, a downstairs shower room and WC, and a utility room housing the oil-fired boiler with plumbing for white goods. The heart of the home is a well-appointed, cottage-style kitchen with pantry and space for a breakfast table. From the central hallway it leads through to a characterful dining room with an inglenook fireplace. From here, it opens into a generous reception room with a second inglenook fireplace, complete with a wood-burning stove and original wooden front door leading to the garden.



Upstairs, the spacious landing—with exposed stone wall and dual-aspect windows—offers the ideal nook for a reading area or home office. There are three double bedrooms (one with built-in wardrobes), a single bedroom (also with built-in wardrobes), and a family bathroom with airing cupboard. Views from this level stretch out over the common and the dramatic Black Mountains beyond.



Outside, the expansive gardens include a stone patio, lawn with mature borders, rose beds, a pond, and an orchard. A concrete garage with pergola and grapevine provides a sheltered seating spot, while a timber garage—with power and separate gated lane access—offers potential for a studio or workshop. Two sheds and a greenhouse further add to the appeal.
