For families and friends looking to explore the wonderful walking paths, outdoor pursuits and market towns of the Brecon Beacons, this enchanting former apple store is a perfect base. The River Wye runs right past the bookshop town of Hay-on-Wye where the property is located, offering up a wealth of interesting independent shops, and picturesque scenery right on your doorstep. After a day of adventure, the open-air cinema and pizza oven are the ultimate way to unwind with loved ones in the garden.

Upon entering the property you’ll find an entrance hall where you can store your belongings out of the way of the main living spaces. The living room is a cosy space, warmed by a modern wood burner and filled with a lovely sofa and armchairs ensuring space for the family to sprawl out in front of the TV. For a little quiet time, head through to the suntrap conservatory where you can enjoy afternoon tea and cake with views out to the garden. Moving on, the kitchen has the wow factor, with a wraparound workshop and stylish cabinets adding an elegant twist to the characterful original features of the beamed ceiling. This space is sure to inspire creativity in your cooking, with four breakfast bar stools for those keen to help out with preparations. When it’s time to serve up a hearty meal, the dining table is beautifully finished with mismatched chairs and a feature light fitting adding something special to every occasion. The first floor is home to the three bedrooms, all of which enjoy en-suites for added privacy. Tasteful decor can be found throughout the sleeping arrangements, with king-size, double and twin beds across the rooms. The enclosed garden is equally as impressive as the interiors, with a 3m x 2m open-air cinema available upon prior arrangement, as well as a pizza oven for al fresco dining.

Pack a picnic and take a day trip to Llangorse Lake (13 miles) and you’ll find a wealth of activity for all the family. From pedalos and stand-up paddleboards available to hire to leisurely walks beside the water, this lovely location is a great place to bond with your loved ones. Further south, you could challenge yourself to a walk up to the summit of Sugar Loaf mountain (25 miles), standing at 596 metres tall with awe-inspiring views seen on both the ascent and descent.
