Description
Nestled in a picturesque village in the heart of the Wye Valley, this architect-designed modern family home blends contemporary style with traditional comforts. With four bedrooms and an innovative inverted layout, the main living areas are set on the upper floor, opening onto a large veranda that offers sweeping views towards the River Wye. Floor-to-ceiling windows flood the space with natural light, creating a seamless connection to the stunning scenery. The top floor features a circular living space ideal as a home office or children’s play area.

Excellent road networks provide easy access to quaint market towns and for commuting to a number of major cities. Hay-on-Wye, Brecon and Builth Wells, offer great amenities. Hay-on-Wye is known for the annual literary festival and countless book shops. Brecon, which lies in the foothills of the Brecon Beacons Mountain range, is the perfect base for those wishing to explore breathtaking walks and the mountain panoramas.
