Hay-on-Wye boasts beautiful scenery and great walks, with the Black Mountains, Brecon Beacons

Neighbouring towns of Abergavenny, Brecon and
Crickhowell provide further amenities. The Brecon
Beacons National Park is one of three national parks in Wales. It has a stunning landscape and
natural beauty. There are a range of educational
establishments within the area with several local
primary schools within the vicinity as well as two
good state secondary schools.

The grounds are a particular feature of the property having been landscaped by the current
owner to create year round interest and intrigue,
with a beautiful walled garden with well-stocked
flower borders, a variety of fruit trees and the
essential potting sheds. The manicured lawn to the front aspect is bordered by mature trees and enjoys spectacular views over the adjacent farmland. The house is approached over a delightful sweeping drive, flanked to either side
by beautiful mature trees, which leads you to a
generous parking area.
