Tucked away amid the rolling hills of Mid Wales, this slick, contemporary home is perfect for those looking for a rural retreat in the countryside, as well as those seeking something more active. The Snowdonia National Park is just fifteen minutes away, making this cosy barn a great base for hiking and cycling amongst its beautiful natural surroundings. Unwind by the modern log-burner after a busy day exploring, enjoy your very own games room or rustle up a feast in the bespoke, hand-crafted kitchen. The large French doors lining the ground floor allow plenty of sunshine to flood through its open-plan living areas, seamlessly connecting the indoors to the garden. Thanks to the fusion of traditional charm and modern comforts, each room feels grand yet stylish. The bathroom’s underfloor heating and sweeping rural vistas are a real treat when it’s finally time for bed.
