Before stepping into this gorgeous home, take a moment to soak in your verdant surroundings of peaceful woodlands and dramatic Welsh hills.

Discover the social heart of the home, the open-plan lounge/diner. After days of outdoor pursuits, this is the perfect spot to relax thanks to the sumptuous furnishings, wood burner and TV with a cinema surround sound system. When you’re rested up and stomachs begin to rumble, walk through to the delightful country-style kitchen and find everything you need to cook up a Welsh feast for your loved ones.
