The Property
No.57 Seven Acres is a delightful, detached bungalow located within a popular residential area in the market town of Knighton (Tref-Y-Clawdd), found directly on the Welsh/English border.
Enjoying distant rearward views towards Kinsley Wood, No.57 Seven Acres has been significantly improved, extended and lovingly maintained by the present owner occupiers over recent years. The property now offers 3 double bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, including an ensuite shower room to bedroom one, a stunning open-plan reception room, a high-spec kitchen, landscaped gardens, a detached garage and ample off road parking. Conveniently positioned approximately 0.75 miles from Knighton's vibrant town centre with its many independently owned shops and facilities, the bungalow is also found approximately 450 yards from Knighton Nursery/Primary School and Leisure Centre/Swimming Pool.
Originally built circa 1990, the property has undergone a comprehensive refurbishment since 2019. Most notably, the current owners have extended the bungalow in 2022/23, creating the impressive principal bedroom suite and spacious lounge/diner which now forms the heart of the home. Further improvements include the installation of a modern fitted kitchen and bathroom suite, a new 'Ideal' central heating boiler controlled with a 'Nest' thermostat, a replacement electrical consumer unit and new flooring and redecoration throughout. As a result, the accommodation is beautifully presented and ready to move straight into.
Inside, an L-shaped hallway gives way to all accommodation. The principal bedroom is a particularly impressive room, benefitting from fitted wardrobes and a stylish ensuite shower room. There are 2 further double bedrooms, both enjoying pleasant rear outlooks and offering flexibility for use as guest accommodation, children's bedrooms or a home office if required. The modern family bathroom is fitted with a contemporary suite including a bath with shower over, while an airing cupboard off houses the combi boiler. The kitchen is fitted with an attractive range of storage units complete with solid wood worktops and integrated appliances and opens seamlessly into the extended lounge/diner. A fantastic social and entertaining space, the lounge/diner enjoys a triple aspect, ample room for both seating and dining furniture and French doors leading directly out to the garden, allowing the outside space to become a natural extension of the accommodation during the warmer months of the year. The property further benefits from UPVC double glazed windows and external doors throughout.
Outside, a private driveway provides ample off road parking and leads to the detached garage, which is installed with power and lighting. The frontage is designed for ease of maintenance, whilst gated access leads into the landscaped side and rear gardens. A real feature of the property, the gardens have been thoughtfully designed to provide a variety of seating and entertaining areas. Immediately to the rear of the bungalow is a paved patio ideal for outdoor dining, whilst a raised seating terrace enjoys pleasant views towards Kinsley Wood and the surrounding hills. There is also a lawned section, raised planted beds, a useful timber built storage shed and a superb outdoor kitchen/pizza oven area which is perfect for entertaining family and friends throughout the year. Overall, the gardens have well-defined fenced boundaries and offer an excellent balance of practicality and enjoyment.
No.57 Seven Acres could be an ideal dwelling for a variety of buyer types including a family seeking a spacious home, relocating purchasers wishing to enjoy all that Knighton and the surrounding countryside has to offer, or downsizing buyers searching for a single-storey property within close proximity to the town centre facilities. Either way, you can be sure that whoever the lucky new owners are, would have acquired a truly splendid bungalow, finished to a high standard and ready to start proudly calling "home".
The Location
No.57 Seven Acres is situated approximately 0.75 miles from the vibrant town centre with its many independently owned shops and facilities and train station, while closer to home, the nursery, primary school and leisure centre are all within approximately 450 yards.
The town features a large community centre which has a strong volunteer network attached to it. The centre holds a monthly community market and in addition a number of charities, organisations and clubs use the centre for their activities. 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, 18 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.
