The Property
Introducing Molly's Cottage, which is a delightful, 3 storey, Grade II Listed, period townhouse occupying a central position in the very heart of the market town of Knighton (Tref-Y-Clawdd), found directly on the Welsh/English border within the picturesque Teme Valley.
Molly's Cottage retains a wealth of original and quality features including exposed timbers and stonework, an inglenook fireplace and a signature carving in one of the wooden roof A-frames, just to mention a select few. Accessed just off High Street, or as it is more locally known 'The Narrows', this 'chocolate box' style dwelling was originally built circa 1678 or earlier and offers prospective purchasers the opportunity to buy a beautifully maintained part of history found conveniently just a mere stone's throw from shops and other town centre facilities!
Run by the current and previous owners as an extremely successful holiday let, Molly's Cottage presents a pleasant blend of character and contemporary features including a modern bathroom suite and high-spec kitchen complete with granite worktops and integrated appliances. Available to purchase with no upward chain, Molly's Cottage offers 2 double bedrooms, a secret study accessed off the main bedroom, family bathroom and a landing area on the first floor, whilst on the ground floor there is a cosy sitting room with feature inglenook fireplace and a kitchen diner with stairwell off. From windows in the sitting room and bedroom two, far-reaching frontward views can be enjoyed across the town and towards Kinsley Wood.
Outside, there is a low maintenance courtyard front garden, which is rare as gold dust in such a town centre location also provides private, off road parking for a vehicle (possibly 2). There are floral beds as well as a seating area, which poses as a lovely place to sit back and relax within the warmer months of the year, whilst taking in the distant views. From the courtyard, stone steps lead down to a useful cellar, which has a log store, quarry tiled flooring, power and lighting.
Whether it be a second property in this quiet market town, a holiday let for a budding investor or a new home for a relocating, retiring couple, worlds apart from the hustle and bustle of city life. Either way, Molly's Cottage is a truly magnificent, one-of-a-kind property, which apart from adding your own stamp to, is ready for any new owner/s to move straight into. Get in touch to arrange a viewing today, but be prepared to fall in love!
The Location
Molly's Cottage is peacefully found just off High Street, which lies in the heart of the town and is locally known as 'The Narrows'. Overall, the town centre hosts a variety of local groceries, retail shops and family run businesses. Knighton offers a good amount of facilities and services including a butchers and a supermarket, a bakery, a nursery/primary school, a railway station, a post office, a builders merchants, regular bus routes, a selection of public houses, cafés and restaurants, a leisure centre/swimming pool, a livestock market and a variety of sports clubs including a golf course, rugby club and football club.
The town features a fortnightly 'farmers market' at the local community centre and also benefits from having a thriving artistic community including The Writers Group, a number of painters, art galleries, potters, craftsmen and a light entertainment society. Still a thriving market town spearheaded by local organisations, Knighton is a peaceful town offering breath taking, picturesque scenery and fully accommodates the laid back, relaxed lifestyle that many potential purchasers will be looking for. Described as the ‘The Gateway to Wales’ this market town is situated on the English/Welsh border. Mostly in Powys, partly in Shropshire it lies on the River Teme and is surrounded by hills giving the traveller a glimpse of the more remote areas accessible nearby.
The town's Welsh name is Tref-y-Clawdd meaning “Town on the Dyke”. This is a reference to Offa’s Dyke, which runs through the town, built by the Saxon King of Mercia to define his border with Wales. Every year hundreds of tourists and walkers visit the Dyke (which in its entirety runs from Prestatyn to Chepstow) and the Offa’s Dyke Centre adding a real vibe to the town during the Spring, Summer and Autumn months. 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. Larger towns near to Knighton are the medieval market town of Ludlow, 16 miles East, and the Victorian Spa town Llandrindod Wells, 19 miles South West. Both are easily accessible via road or rail links and offer further recreational, educational and leisure facilities.
