Property Details

Situated in the very heart of Hay-on-Wye, this well presented, three-storey stone-built townhouse offers a blend of period character and contemporary living. Dating back over 200 years and believed to feature the last remaining horse step in Hay, the property is steeped in history and retains a wealth of original features, including exposed beams, wooden floorboards, bay windows, and wooden staircase.
The ground floor offers practicality, with two reception rooms to the front, each with bay windows and one boasting a stone fireplace with a log burner. To the rear, the kitchen is the true heart of the home—featuring a central island and opening into a glass extension, with sliding doors, that frame views of the landscaped garden, creating a seamless flow between inside and out. There’s also a boot room, a cloakroom/WC, and a separate utility room with plumbing for white goods.
On the first floor, you'll find a double bedroom with an ensuite shower room, a study, and a master suite complete with walk-in dressing area and a few steps leading to an ensuite bathroom with a separate bath and walk-in shower.
The second floor benefits from its own heating and hot water supply and offers two further double bedrooms, making it an ideal space for guests or older children. A fully boarded attic provides additional storage. The converted cellar, currently used as a gym, adds further versatility to this impressive home.
Outside, the south-facing garden—designed by the award-winning Rich Brothers—is a true feature. Enclosed by mature hedgerows and stone walls, it offers complete privacy despite its central location. A stone patio leads to mature flower beds, ornamental shrubs, trees, and a wildflower area, with raised beds for growing herbs and vegetables. Steps lead up to the heated swimming pool, powered by its own dedicated gas supply, with a surrounding seating area perfect for entertaining or relaxing in total seclusion. From here, there is access to a private driveway with electric gated entry.
