Hundred House Inn, Bleddfa, Knighton, Powys

The village of Bleddfa stands in the Ithon Valley on the A488 route which links the town of Ludlow with the A44 at Penybont. The village is a very attractive community arranged around an ancient church and surrounded by some of the UK's most stunning natural countryside.

At its very heart is the subject property, The Hundred House Inn.

A 'hundred' was an administrative area within a county and often at its centre was an inn which also was often a shop and, more importantly, a courthouse. They were without doubt the centre of the community. This is from which the pub takes its name.

The building is two adjoining but separate buildings, all of which at one time had been public house and inn/hotel. It now offers bar and restaurant with excellent service facilities including a comprehensively equipped catering kitchen.

In addition, there is a separate four bedroom, three reception room high quality residential home has been created in the oldest part of the building which retains all of the property's original period charm and features. Despite its age, the property is surprisingly not listed.
