The Old Stables at Wakefield Green

About this property

Nestled within hundreds of acres of open moorland is The Old Stables at Wakefield Green, a wonderful base for outdoor activity lovers to explore the beautiful countryside of Mid Wales or just to get away from it all and relax. The Old Stables is a two bedroom cottage converted from stables and a hay barn in 1997, adjoining the owners’ own farmhouse, all located on a 10 acre smallholding, and it is perfectly situated for outdoor pursuits, such as walking, golf, cycling, clay pigeon shooting, rally driving and horse riding or alternatively unwinding with that book you always wanted to read!

Perfect for a small family or a couple, you’ll never be far from delights in this area of Wales. Step inside to be greeted by the traditionally styled kitchen, holding a wide array of appliances to tend to your self-catering requirements including a washing machine, electric oven and hob and a large fridge/freezer, so you can enjoy all of your home comforts including your home-cooked treats. Following through from the kitchen you will find the living/dining area, making a great spot for formal dining experiences as well as unwinding in the evenings in front of the television with a bag of popcorn and a film for a relaxing night in.

When your evening draws to a close, retire to the first floor where you can find two bedrooms in the form of a double and a twin room, separated by a shared bathroom including a bath with electric shower over, offering bright and airy spaces perfect for four to snuggle up and catch up on your rest ahead of your next adventure-filled day. To the front of the property is a communal lawned area shared with the owner, making a lovely spot to appreciate your natural surroundings, or spend a minute within the private seating area to the rear of the property with a coffee in hand to energise you before your day of excitement, take in the moorland views and perhaps see a kite or buzzard flying high!
