About this property

Brecon 4.5 miles. A wonderful detached stone barn conversion on a working livestock farm, set down a short lane in superb countryside, near the village of Battle, close to Brecon. With only the owner's own home nearby, this rural cottage offers the highest quality accommodation, boasting incredible views across the Bannau Brycheiniog (Brecon Beacons), making it the ideal base for a family or group of friends wanting to enjoy a luxurious and relaxing rural retreat. Enter Caecrwn to discover a host of stunning features, including solid oak flooring on the first floor and Italian tiling on the ground floor, and make your way along the spacious hallway, towards a bright and airy kitchen/diner, fully equipped with all of the appliances you could need to create home-cooked meals, to be enjoyed at the dining table. From here, open the French door onto the enclosed patio garden, which stretches around to the side of the property and offers wonderful views of Pen Y Fan, the highest of the peaks in the National Park, boasting a fantastic Jacuzzi hot tub, sure to provide a luxurious end to each day of your stay, as well as a seating area and barbecue, which you can take full advantage of by dining alfresco during the summer months, and a spacious lawn where pets can run freely and stretch their legs. Make your way into the inviting sitting room, relaxing on one of the leather sofas beside the warming woodburning stove as you flick through the channels on the Freeview TV, or curl up with a good book. Head upstairs to discover three unique and lovingly decorated bedrooms; the master super-king-size double offers a convenient en-suite shower room, while the double and twin rooms share access to a family shower room, while all three rooms emanate charm, with low beams and sloping ceilings adding plenty of character. Enjoy walks amidst the 23 acres of farmland surrounding the property, try your hand at salmon fishing, or maybe a hack if you've brought your horse along with you. Venture a little way to enjoy a round of golf, a bicycle ride or maybe visit the interesting town of Brecon itself, which showcases fascinating Georgian and Jacobean architecture, museums, a theatre, a cinema and many events, including an annual Jazz Festival. The unique and ancient town of Hay-on-Wye is slightly further afield, on the Welsh/English border, known for its international Literature Festival and offering a multitude of charming bookshops to peruse, as well as several antique shops, restaurants and cafés, and provides excellent walking, cycling, birdwatching, fishing and canoeing opportunities. Explore the magnificent Bannau Brycheiniog National Park (Brecon Beacons National Park), which boasts incredible walking, hiking and cycling opportunities amidst incredible rural and mountainous landscapes, including the Black Mountains, the Three Castles Walk, Eastnor Castle, the Offa's Dyke Path and the Mortimer Trail. Caecrwn is an ideal base from which to explore Brecon and the nearby national park.
