Situation
The property is situated in the market town of Kington and within a short drive of the larger town of Hereford.
Kington is a popular market town which lies along the Welsh Marches Border area and provides all the main facilities and services one would expect including a range of shops, a supermarket, medical practice and both a primary school and Academy High School.
The Welsh Border town of Hay-on-Wye, world famous for its second-hand book shops and hosting the Hay Literary Festival, is also only a
short drive away. The main line train services are available at Leominster and Hereford.
The Accommodation
The property is entered through the front door with a stone and timber portico into a hallway.
Immediately to the right is a downstairs storage cupboard located under the stairs.
The sitting room has large windows facing the front and it is understood that it has recently had considerable repair work done to the floor and outer lower wall on the street side. There is also a fireplace with cupboards to either side.
From the hallway a further door leads to the kitchen and dining room. The kitchen has a range of fitted worktops and units, a stainless-steel sink, gas-fired boiler, space for an integral oven and hob and a door giving access to the rear garden.
From the kitchen an opening leads to the dining room with a tall window and a fireplace.
On the first floor there are two double bedrooms with storage cupboards either side of dormer windows and a bathroom with an airing cupboard, panel bath, close-coupled W.C and a wash basin.

There is also a stone outbuilding (2.67m x 4.35m) which is separated into three partitions, part of which has a redundant w.c.
