The Property - Introducing Stable Cottage, a detached stone property positioned within the small, picturesque parish of Stanage, approximately 1.5 miles from the market town of Knighton on the Welsh/English border. Enjoying no direct near neighbours and stunning views across the adjoining countryside and Teme Valley, this attractive property presents a rare opportunity to acquire a home offering the best of both country and town living, enjoying a wonderful rural outlook with fields, woodland and rolling countryside found on the doorstep, yet remaining just a few minutes drive from Knighton's vibrant town centre and its many shops, cafés, public houses and everyday amenities.
Available for the first time on the open market, Stable Cottage offers purchasers an exciting opportunity to create their dream country home. While the property would benefit from refurbishment and modernisation, it provides a superb blank canvas for the next owners to put their own stamp on it and create a home tailored to their own tastes and requirements. Whether you are seeking a family home, lifestyle property or simply somewhere to escape to at weekends, Stable Cottage offers tremendous potential owing to its sizeable accommodation, generous gardens and enviable location.
The accommodation spans across two floors and is made up on the ground floor of an entrance porch, hallway with stairs rising to the first floor and useful under-stairs storage cupboard, a generously-sized living room, a kitchen/diner, utility room and bathroom. On the first floor, a landing area gives way to three double bedrooms, while bedroom one also benefits from a built-in wardrobe. In addition, there is a sizeable store room, which with reconfiguration of the upstairs layout, could be incorporated into the existing accommodation and converted into an additional bedroom or further living space, subject to all necessary consents.
Outside, the property enjoys extensive off-road parking and ample space for the construction of a garage or carport if required, subject to planning permission. The gardens themselves are worthy of particular note and surround the property and back directly onto open countryside. The grounds enjoy a variety of mature shrubs, trees and lawned areas, together with far-reaching views across the surrounding landscape. From the rear of the property, the outlook really is a delight and provides a constant reminder of just how special the setting is and poses as a beautiful backdrop when relaxing or entertaining in the garden in the warmer months of the year.
One of the many attractions of Stable Cottage is the balance it offers between privacy, countryside living and convenience. Properties for sale which enjoy no direct near neighbours, stunning rural views and such easy access to a market town are few and far between. Available with no upward chain and ready for a new owner to breathe fresh life into it and realise its full potential, Stable Cottage represents a fantastic opportunity to acquire a property where the next chapter is yet to be written.
The Location - Stable Cottage is situated approximately 1.5 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 500 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.
In addition, Bucknell is a popular village nestled within the picturesque Teme Valley, approximately 3 miles from Stable cottage, benefiting from a public house, primary school and railway station
