The Property
Peacefully located in a rural setting, close to the English/Welsh border and surrounded by glorious countryside, it is hard to believe the popular, Welsh, market towns of Knighton and Presteigne are both conveniently found within approximately 2 miles & 5 miles of the property. That is one of the many attractions of Tiled House! You can have your own slice of 'the good life' with no one to bother you apart from the tweeting birds, bleating sheep, mooing cows and occasional passing tractor or vehicle, yet if you run out of milk for your morning coffee, you can pop to the local shop and be back before the kettle has finished boiling. Well, perhaps not quite, but close anyway.
If ever there was a property which was more about the lifestyle it offers, than the stone, timber, bricks and mortar it has been built with, then this is it! While the property itself is a well maintained, detached, 3 bedroom, traditional Welsh longhouse, it is the rural yet convenient location, the stunning encompassing scenery, the large, landscaped gardens, adjacent paddock totalling approximately 1 acre and the versatile out-buildings, which will really sparks your imagination. The possibilities this property offers are endless, whatever your passion in life! If you need space, peace or inspiration then Tiled House can accommodate you. With an old stone, 2 storey workshop/out-building, a sizeable, 3 bay, open-fronted barn, a hard-standing parking area, potential for stabling, a sizeable paddock for a horse to run around in and easy access to an adjoining bridleway, this property could be ideal for equestrian enthusiast. Maybe you have dreamed about moving to the countryside and becoming a smallholder, well with the barn and good grazing ground, Tiled House could also allow that dream become a reality! For those of an active disposition, especially walkers, the property is just a field away from the famous Offas Dyke footpath.
Originally built circa 17th Century as 2 separate farm workers cottages apart of the Gwernafel Estate, Tiled House is a Grade II Listed building, which has been extended over the years with the most recent rear garden/dining room and study added by the previous owner approximately 25 years ago. In addition, the property has been meticulously refurbished over the past number of years to its current condition, while making sure the property retains its original character throughout. As a result, Tiled House offers a pleasant blend of contemporary and traditional features, including an inglenook fireplace, exposed timbers, original flagstone flooring and oak finishings, just to mention a select few. Within the last few years, the property has also had a new boiler and septic tank installed, as well as a new downstairs shower room suite.
Approached from the parking area, a entrance door to the right side of the cottage leads into an entrance hall, which has stairs rising up to the third bedroom and doors leading into the sitting room, a downstairs W.C and a shower room. The sitting room features an inglenook fireplace with inset 'Clearview' wood-burning stove and has separate doors leading outside to the rear patio area and into the reception hall, where a further staircase rises to the first floor and doors lead into the kitchen diner and the study, which could also be used as a fourth/downstairs bedroom. The kitchen diner is installed with a matching range of base and wall cupboards, while a door at the front of the kitchen leads into a small hall/cloak area, which provides access to the 'official' oak front door, while a further door to the rear leads into the light and airy, glass vaulted garden/dining room, which provides access out to the rear garden/patio and also into a useful larder and utility area. Upstairs, the rooms enjoy vaulted ceilings, exposed timbers and stunning views. A landing area gives way to a useful storage cupboard, the house bathroom and the 2 double bedrooms, which both offer built-in wardrobes.
Outside, Tiled House has off road parking for a number of vehicles, while adjacent the cottage is the open-fronted barn, which also poses as a useful carport/garage. Also at the front and right side of the property are decorative gardens planted with low-lined hedges and flowered beds. To the rear of the cottage is a large, beautifully landscaped patio area with stone facade walls, flowered beds and stone steps leading to the garden, which is split between an orchard, pond, vegetable plot and wild garden areas, as well as large lawned sections, shrubs and mature trees.. At the top of the rear garden is where you will find the best views the property has on offer. From here it really is the most idyllic place to watch a sunset on a warm summers evening. To the right side of the property is the versatile, 2 storey workshop/out-building, which is installed with power and lighting, while adjacent the front of the property finds the paddock, complete with a pond. Access to the paddock is via a gateway next to the open-fronted barn.
Offering the tranquillity so many of us desire, a million miles from the hustle and bustle of city living, Tiled House could be just what you are looking for if distant views, natural wildlife, beautiful countryside and rolling hill tops as far as the eye can see is what you are after. An attractive property with plenty of history, Tiled House is ready for the new occupiers to simply move in the furniture and personal belongings, sit back and enjoy the laid back lifestyle this truly magnificent dwelling offers. A must view in our eyes!

Presteigne sits alongside the river Lugg, at the corner of the three counties of Shropshire, Herefordshire and Powys, within a short drive to Hay-On-Wye, Hereford, Ludlow and Shrewsbury, surrounded by beautiful, unspoilt countryside, perfect for walking and cycle rides and was named again as one of the best small towns to live in by the Sunday Times in 2018. Just to the west are Radnor Forest and Offa's Dyke. Go slightly south west and you can browse the book shops of Hay-On-Wye, and to the east you can sample the renowned culinary delights of Ludlow. Hereford, with its Cathedral, is 26 miles away and in between there are activities and visits to satisfy a whole variety of tastes. The High Street has a good range of individual shops, restaurants, pubs, hotels and services. There’s even a Michelin starred restaurant five miles outside Presteigne.
