Set within an acre of private land, this fabulous barn conversion is full of original features and offers canal and countryside walks from the doorstep. Pet- and family-friendly, it has an open-plan living space with a wood burner, two sumptuous bedrooms and, for the ultimate laid-back break, a hot tub.
Named after the farmer who once worked the surrounding land, this delightful retreat combines all the charm of an old property with every contemporary essential. Surrounded by countryside, oak beams, exposed stonework and a wood burner welcome you into the open-plan living space, where four can cook, dine and chill out in supreme comfort. A cloakroom and utility room complete the convenience of the ground floor. When it’s time to retire, settle the dogs – two are welcome – and head to your choice of two blissful bedrooms; one has a king-size bed, the other has twins, and there’s a modern family bathroom close by. Your whole party will love letting off steam in the outside space here. The enclosed garden has a safely-fenced duck pond and there’s a pretty terrace set within the ruins of the old barn; enjoy food and drinks while your pets play, then unwind with a soak in the hot tub – the starscapes can be stunning.
The Brecon and Monmouth Canal is close by – enjoy towpath walks and visit Goytre Wharf, where there’s a wealth of historic features and activities for all, including boating, fishing, cycling and woodland walks. Less than 7 miles from your doorstep, Abergavenny is a paradise for foodies, nestled in the Usk Valley with a backdrop of the Brecon Beacons and Black Mountains.
