The Property
Golden Oak House is a detached, period property located towards the edge of the extremely popular and world famous town of Hay-on-Wye, found directly on the Welsh/English border within the picturesque Wye Valley and Brecon Beacon National Park.
Offering beautifully presented and spacious accommodation, Golden Oak House is a Grade II Listed dwelling, which dates back circa early 1800's with some parts of the original house believed to date back even further. History-wise, Golden Oak House was formally part of a row of turnpike cottages and is referenced in the book ‘history of hay‘ by Fairs on page 237. It is understood that at one point the property was also used as an inn. Skip forward a couple of centuries and the property was extended and lovingly refurbished to an extremely high standard by the current owners between 2007-2010. Nowadays, Golden Oak House offers a wonderful blend of contemporary and character features from underfloor heating in the newer rear extension and roof solar thermal panels, to exposed timbers and stonework, oak finishings and inglenook fireplaces, all just to mention a select few.
Available to purchase with no upward chain, Golden Oak House is set over 2 floors and is made up of 4 bedrooms, 3 reception rooms and 3 bathrooms. Inside, the ground floor accommodation has an entrance hall, sitting room, living room, hallway, rear entrance lobby, fully equipped kitchen and a dining room. There is also a useful utility room and a downstairs W.C, which already has services in place ready to be converted into a downstairs wet room if required. On the first floor, a landing area gives way to the 4 good-sized bedrooms and the house bathroom. 2 of the 4 bedrooms benefit from their own private en-suite shower rooms, while 1 of the rear bedrooms enjoys distant countryside views. The attic space had new floor joists installed when the refurbishment works were carried out and offers a possibility of further uses. The attic is partially boarded, has lighting and power and is accessed via a ladder.
The positives do not just stop inside at Golden Oak House, as outside the property has its own private driveway, which provides off street parking for 2 cars to the rear, while to the right side of the house is a low maintenance, south-west facing courtyard garden, which has direct access back inside to the dining room via French doors. To left side of the house is a decorative flowered bed area.
Location-wise, Golden Oak House offers the best of both town and country living by being conveniently situated approximately 450 yards from the vibrant town centre with its many independently owned shops and facilities, while in contrast and within a few minutes walk, you will find yourself roaming the surrounding beautiful countryside. For new owners with children or grandchildren, the property is suitably situated just a mere stones throw away from the towns playing/sports fields, including the bowling club, football club, cricket club and tennis club.
A truly magnificent property, Golden House Oak is simply ready for the new occupiers to move in their belongings, put their feet up and start proudly calling "home"!
