The Property - Introducing 1 Glebelands, which is a spacious, detached house situated in a quiet, tucked-away position on the edge of the popular village of Whitton, which lies between the market towns of Knighton and Presteigne, close to the Welsh/English border.

Built circa early 1990's as part of a small and exclusive development made up of 2 other properties, 1 Glebelands offers the best of both town and country living by being positioned in a close knit village setting backing directly onto glorious countryside with access to many walks and trails, while also being conveniently 3 miles from Knighton's vibrant town centre with its many independently owned shops and facilities and 4 miles from the market town of Presteigne. Lovingly maintained over the years, the property does now require modernisation in certain areas including the windows.

The spacious accommodation comprises a hallway with stairs rising off to the first floor and separate doors leading into the living room with a feature brick fireplace, the useful utility and subsequent W.C and the sizeable kitchen diner, which also leads into the sitting room. On the first floor, a landing area gives way to all 4 bedrooms, an airing cupboard and the bathroom. The master bedroom also boasts having a private en-suite shower room, while all 4 bedrooms enjoy views over the garden and adjoining countryside.

Outside, 1 Glebelands offers a gravelled driveway providing off road parking for a number of vehicles and leads to a detached double garage (6.3m W x 6.6m L), complete with a service pit, power and lighting. Perfect for horticultural enthusiasts to get their green fingers stuck into, the gardens encompass the house and are largely laid to lawn at the front and left sides, while the rear and right side areas of the garden are mainly paved or gravelled. The garden also offers a small orchard area, 2 useful garden sheds, a number of flowered beds, a greenhouse and direct access down to a tranquil brook where otters have been spotted before. In addition, there is a further parcel of garden situated on the opposite side of the garage which sits alongside the driveway. The gardens truly are worthy of particular note and pose as the ideal spot to relax/entertain in within the warmer months of the year. Also, found at the rear is a partly constructed pool, which is currently used as a wildlife pond, which has welcomed a Kingfisher within recent times.

The Location - 1 Glebelands occupies an idyllic setting on the edge of the small village of Whitton, which is encompassed by stunning, scenic countryside with rolling hill tops as far as the eye can see, Whitton and nearby surroundings are a haven for nature enthusiasts, ramblers and cyclists and is also close to the famous Offa's Dyke footpath.

Whitton is a friendly community which embraces a 'laid back', tranquil lifestyle. Rural, but certainly not inaccessible, the B4356 & B4357 run through the village, which lead north to the border town of Knighton (3 miles) and east to the market town of Presteigne (4 miles).

Both Knighton and Presteigne offer a wide range of independent retailers, supermarkets and regular farmers’ markets, together with a variety of cafés, restaurants and public houses. There are a number of community clubs and societies, together with many sporting and recreational facilities, including football, rugby, running and a golf club at Knighton. Both towns have excellent leisure centres and primary medical practices, while Knighton also boasts having a train station, offering daily connections to Shrewsbury and Swansea.

Educationally both towns offer pre-school groups and primary schools, while Presteigne also contains a secondary school, John Beddoes, which is part of Newtown High School. Presteigne is also recognized as a cultural centre, and has attracted many artists and musicians over the years. It is especially renowned for its nationally-famous Festival of Music and the Arts held every August and in 2018 was once again named as one of the best small towns to live in by the Sunday Times.
