Location

It offers both primary and secondary schools, a leisure centre with a swimming pool, a selection of pubs and takeaway restaurants, independent shops, a GP surgery, and many other everyday conveniences. Just 4 miles to the north, across Offa’s Dyke, lies the market town of Knighton, home to a railway station on the Heart of Wales Line, providing connections to Shrewsbury and Swansea. The attractive market town of Kington is 6 miles away, while the cathedral city of Hereford, approximately 20 miles to the east, offers a wide array of shopping, dining, and recreational facilities, along with strong transport links. The area is surrounded by rolling hills and picturesque walking routes, including Offa’s Dyke and Hergest Ridge.

Ground Floor

Entering through the front door with a porch canopy above, you step into a welcoming hallway with a staircase rising to the first floor and a useful understairs storage cupboard. To your right, a door leads to what is currently used as a generously sized office with a front-facing window and fitted shelving. This room is ideally set up as a home office but could equally serve as a hobby room or playroom, depending on requirements. Off the hallway, a ground-floor cloakroom is fitted with a low-level WC, a wash hand basin set into a vanity unit, a towel radiator, and a window.

Moving back towards the front of the property and into the large living room, you’ll find a fantastic space filled with natural light from a large bay window to the front and two additional side windows. There is also a feature fireplace with an inset wood-burning stove, a superb focal point. From here, a square-framed archway opens into the dining room—another well-proportioned space benefitting from patio doors out to the rear garden and a door through to the kitchen. The kitchen is a good-sized and practical room, featuring laminate tile effect floor, a range of fitted base and wall units, stainless steel sink, built-in high-level electric oven and grill, gas hob with extractor fan above, and two windows overlooking the rear garden. A door leads through to a very useful utility room, fitted with further wall and base units, stainless steel sink and drainer, plumbing for a washing machine, continuation of the laminate tile effect floor and a door to the rear garden.

First Floor

Moving to the first floor, the landing features a window, an airing cupboard, and access to the loft hatch. All four bedrooms are good-sized doubles. The principal bedroom, Bedroom One, is located at the front of the house and benefits from a front-facing window, a large walk-in wardrobe, and an en-suite shower room comprising a low-level WC, wash hand basin, double shower unit, fully tiled walls, heated towel rail, and a side window. Bedroom Two is positioned at the rear, and Bedroom Three at the front. Bedroom Four, also a double, has a window overlooking the rear. Completing the first floor is the family bathroom, fitted with a white suite comprising a panelled bath, WC, and pedestal wash hand basin, with a rear-facing window.

Outside

The property is approached via a tarmacadam estate road, with a generous gravelled driveway leading to a turning and parking area adjacent to the double garage. The gardens have been extensively improved over the past 12 months and now offer an attractive, low-maintenance space enclosed by perimeter fencing. The front and side garden is laid to lawn with a gravel pathway along the house and a designated area for children’s play equipment. To the rear, a spacious, recently laid patio is bordered by raised beds, providing an ideal space for keen gardeners. French doors from the dining room lead directly onto the patio, with convenient access to the utility room and pedestrian entry to the double garage. To the side of the property, a gated and fenced area includes a generous wood store and ample space for the needs of a family home. A timber outbuilding has been insulated and fitted with double entry doors offering versatile additional space.

Double Garage

The double garage features two up-and-over doors, ceiling lighting, power points, and a cloakroom comprising a WC, wash hand basin, and a unit with sink and drainer. For those wishing to further increase the accommodation within the main home, the conversion of the garage presents an excellent opportunity, subject to the necessary checks and permissions.
