The Property - Foresters House as the name suggests is a former Forestry Commission property which is situated on the very edge of the popular, semi-rural village of Whitton, which lies between the market towns of Knighton and Presteigne, close to the Welsh/English border.

Built in 1960, Foresters House offers the best of both town and country living by being positioned in a close knit village setting directly neighbouring 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.

Well maintained by the current owners including adding a new roof to the main property in 2021, this spacious accommodation comprises a hall, downstairs W.C, boiler room, a useful utility room, a kitchen, dining room, hallway, living room and conservatory on the ground floor. On the first floor, a landing area gives way to all 3 bedrooms, a cupboard, bathroom and the seperate W.C. All 3 bedrooms enjoy distant views over the garden and countryside.

Outside, the secure gardens are worthy of particular note and an ideal space for kids or pets to run around and play in. To the rear is a parking area provides ample off road parking for numerous vehicles and leads to the attached garage. A gate from the parking area leads into the largely paved rear garden area, which is stocked with a variety of shrubs and planted beds. The front garden is mainly laid to lawn, but like the rear is stocked with an array of flowered beds, shrubs, specimen trees and planted borders. In addition, there is a also a gravelled/paved seating area, which poses as the ideal spot to relax/entertain in within the warmer months of the year.
