This traditional cottage is perfect for couples and small families, located in the heart of the ancient market town of Hay-on-Wye – famous around the world as the ‘Town of Books'. Hay-on-Wye boasts more than 20 bookstores, an international Festival of Arts and Literature, a wide range of cafes and restaurants and quirky independent shops. The Globe in Hay runs arts events throughout the year and the magnificent 12th-century castle has recently opened its doors to the public after a 10-year restoration project. Just 0.5 miles from the cottage is the Warren, a beautiful riverside meadow where you can go swimming. Hay-on-Wye is a popular place to canoe and kayak along the River Wye, while walkers and cyclists can enjoy the Wye Valley Walk, the Offa’s Dyke Path and the Black Mountains – including the spectacular Hay Bluff where the intrepid can explore Lord Hereford’s Knob.
The cottage is perfectly located to appeal to both the nature and the culture lover. The living area is open-plan, light and spacious with wood flooring, hand-picked artwork on the walls, a large rug and a stunning wood burner. There is a Smart TV, a comfortable sofa and armchair in the lounge area, and a table with four chairs for dining. There is a separate snug with a well-stocked bookcase from the owner’s personal collection, a large selection of board games and a sofa and accent chair. The kitchen has been newly updated and is equipped with everything you may need, from microwave to milk frother. The open staircase leads to the first floor where guests have the choice of two bedrooms: a king-size bedroom complete with an Emma mattress and a twin bedroom. The bathroom, which features a shower over the bath, completes the property.
Take the steps up to a small enclosed garden with a table and chairs where you can enjoy open views. Being part of a terrace, the garden is open aspect and accessed from the rear of the cottage taking a narrow path along the edge of the neighbours garden and into the private enclosed garden area.
