Old Orchard, Garth Lane, Knighton - Fantastic Views!

Just like the orchard that once occupied the site, Old Orchard is something truly special. Never before offered for sale, this unique home bears fruit in abundance, from its breathtaking views across Knighton and to its spacious and versatile accommodation, all tucked away within a peaceful very edge-of-town setting and available with no upward chain!

The Property - Introducing Old Orchard, which is a unique and spacious, detached bungalow found on the very edge of the popular market town of Knighton (Tref-y-Clawdd) directly on the Welsh/English border within the picturesque Teme Valley.

Available to purchase with no upward chain, Old Orchard was individually designed and constructed in 1979 by well-regarded local tradesmen/builders for the current owner. Remarkably, the property has never previously been advertised for sale, presenting a rare opportunity to acquire a truly one-of-a-kind home. Occupying the site of a former orchard, from which the property takes its name, Old Orchard has been lovingly maintained throughout its lifetime and offers well-proportioned accommodation with the added benefit of an incredibly useful lower ground floor. Extending to approximately 2,687 sq ft including the garage, the property provides far more space than first meets the eye and could appeal to a variety of buyers, including retirees seeking predominantly single-storey living or growing families looking for additional space and versatility.

If the spacious accommodation was not enough, then the setting and outlook are sure to impress. Occupying an enviable, elevated position on a quiet country lane and bordered by neighbouring fields, Old Orchard boasts what is arguably one of the finest views in Knighton. From the majority of the rooms and gardens, breathtaking panoramic views stretch across the entire town, towards Ffrydd and Kinsley Woods and down the Teme Valley beyond. The property enjoys the best of both countryside and town living, being situated approximately 0.75 miles from the town centre with its many independently owned shops and facilities, whilst countryside walks can be enjoyed virtually from the doorstep. Continue along Garth Lane and you will quickly find yourself immersed within the surrounding countryside, making the location ideal for those seeking peace and tranquillity without sacrificing convenience.

Inside, the welcoming hallway gives way to the sizeable reception room, the open-plan kitchen diner, all three double bedrooms and the family bathroom. The light and airy reception room is undoubtedly one of the highlights of the property, featuring a large picture window which perfectly frames the stunning far-reaching views across Knighton and down the Teme Valley, while a feature stone fireplace creates an attractive focal point. The adjoining dining area and kitchen combine to create a sociable space for day-to-day living and entertaining. All three bedrooms are generous doubles, while the bathroom is fitted with a modern suite. A rear porch is accessed from back of the kitchen.

From the hallway, a staircase descends to the highly versatile lower ground floor, which greatly enhances the property's appeal. Here, a large games room provides excellent additional living space and could lend itself to a variety of uses including a home office, gym or family room. There is also a useful utility room, W.C, wash/hobby room and store room, all of which provide an abundance of practical space rarely found within bungalow accommodation. In addition, the sizeable integral garage offers further storage and workshop potential if required, with the forementioned W.C handily accessed directly off.

Outside, double gates open onto a substantial driveway allowing private, off-road parking for numerous vehicles and leading to the integral garage. The south-facing front garden is largely laid to lawn and enjoys the spectacular outlook across the town and surrounding countryside, while the paved terrace, which is used to access the front entrance door, provides the perfect spot to relax within the warmer months of the year whilst taking in the ever-changing scenery. To the rear of the property is a low-maintenance gravelled and paved area, whilst overall the gardens are stocked with mature shrubs and specimen trees and well-defined hedged and fenced boundaries.

Old Orchard presents a rare opportunity to purchase a distinctive home in a peaceful yet convenient position, combining spacious accommodation, exceptional versatility and some of the most impressive views that Knighton has to offer.

While here, other attractions that visitors to the town often call upon is the famous Space Guard Centre, which offers people the chance to view the wonders of the universe in a fun and understandable way while also raising public awareness of the threat of asteroid and comet impacts and the ways in which they can predict and prevent them.
