An exclusive development situated on the edge of Hay-on-Wye, which nestles at the Northeast point of the Brecon Beacons National Park. Bookers Edge features a collection of twenty-five 2, 3 and 4 bedroom homes, perfectly positioned to make the most of this stunning countryside setting.

The new homes have been sympathetically designed to complement its environment, with many homes enjoying views across the dramatic landscape of the Black Mountains. Terraced and semi-detached houses have been influenced by the town’s Victorian architecture, whilst the detached barn-style homes are a real testament to contemporary rural living.

Bookers Edge presents the ideal place to relax and retreat while enjoying all that the spectacular surrounding landscape has to offer.

HAY FESTIVAL

H AY- O N -W Y E

World-renowned for its annual literary festival, the historic market town of Hay-on-Wye (Y Gelli) has a magical allure that exceeds its international reputation.

Vibrantly independent, quaint and unassuming, Hay-on-Wye offers easy access to the very best of Wales and England; situated along one of the most idyllic stretches of the River Wye and surrounded by striking hills and charming countryside - perfect for exploring.

Presided over by the town’s 12th century castle, along with the myriad of second-hand and specialist book shops, the bustling streets are awash with history and heritage, boasting a variety of independent galleries, antique shops, artisan delis and independent cafes.

A rich cultural calendar of activities and events is enjoyed throughout the year, both in and around the surrounding area.

With thriving weekly markets, Hay-on-Wye comes to life with a wide range of local produce, arts and crafts on offer.

WIDER AREA

The Great Outdoors - take a walk, take to two wheels or take to the water – whatever you desire is right on the doorstep in and around the beautiful Hay-on-Wye countryside.

Embark on an energetic trek following the Offa’s Dyke path south of the town towards the rocks and ridges of the dramatic Black Mountains and the striking summit of Hay Bluff.

Carry on exploring to ascend the tip of Twmpa and enjoy the magical views of the Brecon Beacons stretching across to Pen y Fan, the highest peak in South Wales.

Explore the outstanding outdoors and be spoiled for choice on the trails and road routes that embrace the rolling Herefordshire countryside or kayak the leisurely stretch from Glasbury to Hay-on-Wye and onward taking in its popular pit stops along the way.

Further down the River Wye, the lively Cathedral city of Hereford, a little over 30 minutes away, enjoys a flourishing cultural scene. Take in a show at the County Theatre, soak up the local history and stroll streets full of charm, bursting with independent shops and galleries.

Continue along the beautiful Wye Valley and you will reach the spectacular 12th century ruins of the Cistercian Abbey at Tintern.

Hailed as the ‘Gateway to Wales’, Abergavenny’s food scene has placed it firmly on the map, around 25 miles away. Regular markets feature quality locally grown produce and its annual food festival draws thousands to the area. Closer to home, multiple award-winning The Felin Fach Griffin has been named dining pub of the year and is definitely worth a visit for some mouthwatering home grown food.

THE VISION

Inspired by the idyllic countryside setting, Bookers Edge homes are designed to make the most of the views. Generous windows and large patio doors look out towards the stunning landscape of the Black Mountains beyond.

The historic and rural setting has also influenced the exterior style of these homes. The combination of waney edge timber boarding with a traditional brick and soft render colours means they sit comfortably within picturesque Hay-on-Wye as well as its rural, agricultural setting.

Inside, modern design means you have the flexibility of both open plan family/kitchen/dining spaces and more intimate living rooms.

Interiors have been carefully selected to combine comfort with high quality, to make these homes a pleasure to live in long into the future.
