Duke Street, Kington, Herefordshire,

Location

The property is conveniently located on Duke Street, just a short distance from the High Street. The market town of Kington is full of character and charm, situated on the Welsh/English border in the county of Herefordshire. It offers a good range of amenities including shops, a post office, leisure centre, nursery, supermarkets, doctors’ surgery, and schools. Kington is also well placed for access to nearby towns, with Presteigne (6 miles), Hay-on-Wye (12 miles), Leominster (16 miles), and Hereford (20 miles) all within easy reach, offering an even wider variety of services and facilities.

Ground Floor

Entering through the front door into the entrance porch, a wooden door leads through to the living room, which features a sash window to the front with secondary glazing. The room is warm and inviting, with exposed timbers, an exposed stone wall, and a wood-burning stove set on a brick hearth with a brick surround. A staircase rises to the first floor, and a large archway leads through to the dining room, which also has a sash window to the front and boasts a feature stone fireplace set on a stone hearth with a wooden mantle. This versatile space could easily be arranged in reverse to suit different layouts. Beyond the dining room is a study area, a flexible space ideal for a home office or children’s play area, with a glass-paned door leading out to the courtyard. To the right, a practical ground-floor WC is located, with access to the cellar via a trap door and stone staircase.

The galleried kitchen provides a generous amount of worktop space, a range of base and wall cupboards, and space for a gas cooker. Two windows allow abundant natural light, and an archway leads into a useful utility area with space for laundry appliances, additional work surfaces, and good storage, with a door opening onto the courtyard.

First Floor

The staircase, with built-in storage, rises to the first floor, providing access to two good-sized double bedrooms, both with front-facing sash windows and secondary glazing. Completing the first floor is a family shower room with practical built-in storage, comprising a white suite with a pedestal wash hand basin with mirror over, WC, and a corner shower with glass surround, with a rear-facing window.

Second Floor

The landing, with two windows overlooking the rear, leads to the second floor, a characterful space with exposed wall and ceiling timbers. Here is a generously sized bedroom with a low-level front-facing window, with an archway into a dressing room — a great space with built-in cupboards and ample room for wardrobes and additional storage. Completing this floor is the Ensuite Bathroom with a white suite, including WC, pedestal wash hand basin, and panel bath, lit by a Velux roof light.

Courtyard and Outbuilding

Accessed from the kitchen/utility area and the study, the courtyard provides an ideal space for alfresco dining and entertaining, while also serving as a practical amenity area. Gated access leads from the courtyard to the side of Number 2 Duke Street. From the courtyard, there is access to a practical two-storey outbuilding, currently split into two areas: a shed/storage room and a generous workshop/storage space featuring a front-facing window, power, lighting, a workbench, and extensive wall-mounted shelving. A spiral staircase leads to the first floor of the outbuilding, currently used as a games room — a versatile, well-proportioned space that could easily serve as a hobby or home office, or potentially be converted into additional accommodation or even Airbnb potential.
