Tregaron, WalesSitting peacefully in a rural location, this superb example of a detached, very spacious, threshing barn conversion dating back 200 years, bursts with original features including cast-iron driving wheels, stone walls and exposed beams. It has ground source underfloor heating throughout and nestles within 17 acres, including a paddock if guests would like to bring their horse (by arrangement with owner). This includes 5 acres of woodland to enjoy, bordered by the River Teifi, known for its fishing with panoramic views towards the foothills of the Cambrian Mountains.
Don’t underestimate the luxury of space and the scale of the barn. Comfortably accommodating up to 8 guests, there are seven spaces to sit and relax or play. The holiday property has been tastefully decorated with oak furnishings, a contemporary-style kitchen, two living areas (one with a wood burner), large vaulted dining area and two fantastic balconies, ideal for watching red kites and buzzards soar over the magnificent scenery.

Moving outside, the patio area features dining furniture for the 8 guests, while bedroom 1 has a balcony with outdoor furniture to sit and watch the sunrise, the sunset at it sheds it light on the mountain, or the stars in this designated Dark Skies area.
150 yards from the property is a beautiful area by the river and the owner has put a picnic bench, a firepit and some garden furniture for you to sit and watch the children playing in the river and enjoy the sounds and sights of the local wildlife.
