Property Details

Located in the hamlet of Cusop Dingle, just 1 mile from the market town of Hay-on-Wye, is this renovated and extended detached barn conversion, offering a unique blend of character, comfort, and self-sufficiency.
The ground floor is centred around an open-plan kitchen, featuring a central island and a traditional wood-fired Esse range, which can be used to heat the thermal store —ideal for those looking to reduce their reliance on mains utilities. A rear single-storey extension, complete with underfloor heating, opens onto a full-length veranda and also provides access to the conservatory. Off from the kitchen, the utility room includes a walk-in pantry and leads directly to the garden, adding to the home’s practical appeal.
Three additional reception rooms offer flexible use, with the potential to serve as ground-floor bedrooms or home office spaces. These have all been lined with sheep’s wool to help further insulate them. The main living room boasts a log burner and doors leading out to a stone patio. Completing the ground floor is a convenient WC with a walk-in shower.
Upstairs, you will find the three bedrooms and family bathroom. The main bedroom benefits from built-in wardrobes and its own ensuite bathroom. The second bedroom retains plumbing from a former ensuite, now repurposed as additional storage space, while the third is served by a well-appointed family bathroom with both a bath and a separate shower. A flat roof above the extension can be accessed from this level, offering a potential seating area overlooking the garden. There's also an open attic space ideal for storage.
Externally, the property is equally well-equipped. There is off-road parking for multiple vehicles and a double carport, along with several useful outbuildings including a stone built workshop, shed, wood store, and additional storage spaces. A detached studio with its own plumbing and wood burner offers great potential for alternative use, subject to any necessary permissions.
The garden is a highlight, with mature planting, established trees, and a range of sustainable features. A wood-fired pizza oven and a separate outdoor sauna provide unique lifestyle touches, while the productive vegetable garden, polytunnel, three-bay compost system, potting shed, and chicken coop support a semi self-sufficient way of life.
Services include a private water supply and drainage system, solar thermal panels for hot water, and heating via both oil and wood-fired systems. It is worth noting also that the extension is a straw bale build (timber framed) so is very well insulated and the roof is filled with about a foot of blown paper insulation, further adding to the energy efficiency.
Altogether, this is a rare opportunity to enjoy flexible, rural living in a location that combines seclusion with convenience.
