About this property
The Barn at Sunny Barn, setjust beyond the lively heart of Brecon, Powys, is an eye-catching conversion that beautifully marries original character with bold, contemporary style. Designed with gatherings in mind, it offers generous, light-filled spaces that feel both dramatic and welcoming from the moment you arrive. At the heart of the house lies an impressive vaulted living area, where soaring ceilings, barn doors and slender slit windows draw daylight deep into the space, creating an ever-changing play of light throughout the day. Nearby, the kitchen and dining area is a true statement, with rich blue cabinetry lifted by vibrant orange accents, a substantial gas range and a breakfast bar that naturally becomes the hub of the home.
Whether cooking together or lingering over long meals, it’s a space made for shared moments. A short flight of steps leads up to a mezzanine sitting room, offering a peaceful perch to settle down with a book or enjoy quiet conversation after a busy day outdoors. The sleeping quarters are thoughtfully arranged across two levels. On the ground floor, a beautifully finished king-size bedroom benefits from its own en-suite shower room, while a spacious family bathroom nearby features both a deep freestanding bath and a separate shower. On the lower level, the super-king-size bedroom opens directly onto a small, enclosed patio garden.
Here, a hot tub and outdoor seating create a private corner for evenings under the stars, with views stretching across the rooftops towards the surrounding hills. Outside, the enclosed garden and ample parking add to the ease of your stay, while the location places you perfectly for discovering the best of the area. Brecon itself is rich in history and culture, with its striking cathedral, the Regimental Museum of The Royal Welsh, independent shops and scenic canal-side walks. Nearby Talgarth offers further charm, from the carefully restored Talgarth Mill to the wooded trails of Pwll-y-Wrach Nature Reserve and a tempting selection of local cafés and eateries.
Beyond the towns, the landscapes of Bannau Brycheiniog National Park open up, inviting days spent exploring dramatic mountain paths, cascading waterfalls and some of the darkest, clearest night skies in the country. The Barn at Sunny Barn provides a memorable and characterful base from which to experience the scenery, heritage and outdoor pursuits of this remarkable part of Wales.
On the edge of the Brecon Beacons National Park lies the historic cathedral town of Brecon, boasting beautiful Georgian and Jacobean architecture, many museums, a theatre and cinema, individual shops, restaurants and inns serving real ales and local food. The Brecon Beacons National Park offers the avid walker and keen cyclist spectacular scenery at any time of the year, with rolling countryside and valleys and the wild beauty of waterfalls and caves. The park is home to traditional market towns, castles, ancient monuments and miles of canal where many pretty walks can be enjoyed. For the less energetic, pony trekking, canal cruising or the local Brecon Steam Railway are a must. Travel a little further to Hay-on-Wye with its numerous book shops, visit the craft and collectors’ fairs and the four day Royal Welsh Agricultural Show at Builth Wells, or explore the delightful medieval town of Abergavenny. A perfect base for an all-year-round family holiday.
