The Property
Ivy Cottage is a superb, semi-detached Victorian house found on the outskirts of the market town of Knighton (Tref-y-Clawdd) directly on the Welsh/English border within the picturesque Teme Valley.
Available with no upward chain, Ivy Cottage was originally built circa 1890's and offers well presented accommodation set over 4 storeys, which has been tastefully upgraded and beautifully maintained by the current owner over the past 20 years to include a side extension creating now the signature kitchen diner, the conversion of the top floor/attic room into the master suite and the renovation of the useful cellar, just to mention a select few. Ivy Cottage offers a pleasant blend of contemporary and traditional features from UPVC double windows and a 'Worcester' combination boiler, to exposed timber beams and brickwork and cast iron fireplaces. The ground floor is made up of an entrance hall, W.C, kitchen/diner, hallway, sitting room and living room, while on the second floor, a landing area gives way to 2 double bedrooms and the modern bathroom. Accessed off the landing, a stairwell rises up to a fantastic attic room, which accommodates the master suite boasting a private shower room and ample storage cupboards. Distant rear views are enjoyed from the second and third floors. Accessed from the ground floor hallway, a stairwell leads down to the useful cellar, which is presents an ideal storage area.
Located right on the very edge of Knighton and fronting onto Kinsley Wood, Kinsley Road is a popular lane which leads directly into the beautiful countryside surrounding the town and is conveniently found 0.5 miles from the main high street and its many independently owned shops and facilities. A mere stones throw from the property are a number of walks including the famous Offa's Dyke National Path, the town's local rugby side (Tref-y-Clawdd RFC) and the railway station which services four trains a day in each direction from Monday to Saturday on the Heart of Wales Railway Line that runs between Shrewsbury and Swansea, along with two services on a Sunday. Kinsley Road is actually part of the Ancient Civil Parish Of Stowe in England, but does have a Welsh address.
Outside, the property offers a low maintenance, south-facing, largely paved and gravelled rear courtyard garden with flowered beds, an artificial lawned area and well-defined fenced, walled and hedged borders. This delightful garden poses as a perfect spot to relax/entertain in within the warmer months of the year and has a useful side passageway, which leads to a gate opening out to the roadside frontage. Adjacent the front of the property is an incredibly useful detached garage, which in front of offers private off road parking for certainly 1 and possibly 2 cars.
The Location
Ivy Cottage is found approximately half a mile from the main street which 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 primary school, a railway station, a post office, a variety of sports clubs which includes a golf course, a builders merchants, regular bus routes, a selection of public houses, cafés and restaurants, a leisure centre, a livestock market, bakeries and a library.
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.
