Chalgrove

Walking trails and cycle routes fan out across the Usk Valley from this converted barn, with the Brecon Beacons visible across open farmland. The 1822 stone building sits on high ground above the valley, making it a practical base for outdoor exploration in Powys without the constant need to return to a town. The enclosed garden and gravelled courtyard provide space to decompress between adventures.

Chalgrove sleeps 8 across four bedrooms, with two en-suite double rooms and a family bathroom serving the other two. The ground floor opens into a large beamed living space with dining table for eight, a separate snug with sofas and television, and a kitchen equipped for proper cooking rather than makeshift meals. Electricity and bed linen are included; oil central heating and a woodburner keep the barn warm. On-site parking accommodates four cars, and there's a barbecue in the courtyard for evening meals. Two steps lead to the entrance.

The property suits families or groups wanting a self-contained rural retreat. No smoking throughout.
