The Property

Ferndale is a characterful, mid-terraced, well maintained house located in the heart of the pretty market town of Knighton (Tref-y-Clawdd), found directly on the Welsh/English border surrounded by picturesque countryside and rolling hills.

Offering period features to include original doors, floor boards, sash windows and a cellar, this well presented, deceptively spacious, 3 bedroom property is conveniently located approximately 300 yards from Knighton's vibrant town centre with its many independently owned shops and facilities, public houses and restaurants. Further afield finds the nursery & primary school, leisure centre and train station, which are all within approximately 0.5 miles. In addition, located in neighbouring West Street, finds the famous Offa's Dyke centre, which directly behind has a large play park and playing field and of course the Offa's Dyke footpath, which within a short 5 minute walk leads you straight into the picturesque countryside and alongside the River Teme.

Outside and yet another quality feature to this delightful property is the good-sized rear garden, which is perfect for horticultural enthusiasts to get their green fingers stuck into and enjoys panoramic views across Kinsley Wood, making it a delightful place to sit and relax within the warmer months of the year! At the front of the house there is a small, planted garden area, while at the bottom of the rear garden there is a sizeable (6.8m x 3.8m) detached garage offering useful first floor storage and a tarmacadam off road parking area at the front of the garage for one vehicle. There is potential for the parking area to be slightly widened to create a second car parking space if required. The parking area/garage is accessed off neighbouring Cemetery Road.

Inside, the front door opens into the hallway, which has stairs rising up to the first floor and separate doors leading right into the living room and frontwards into the kitchen diner. The living room has ample space for a seating suite and has a feature fireplace and bay window to front. The kitchen diner is installed with a matching array of wall and base units with fitted worktops over, an inset sink and an integrated cooker and gas hob with extractor above. There is a gas fire with back boiler behind, 2 built-in cupboards, space for a dishwasher and ample space for a set of dining table and chairs. Separate doors from the kitchen diner lead into the rear utility room, which has space for a washing machine, a door leading outside and a further door into the handy downstairs W.C, while the other door from the kitchen diner opens to a stairwell, which leads down to the useful cellar area. Primed for conversion, the cellar area offers a variety of possibilities, but if nothing else, poses as an excellent storage area, Upstairs, the landing area has doors off leading to the 3 good-sized bedrooms and the bathroom. All 3 bedrooms offers distant front or rear views.

Ready to move straight into, Ferndale could be an ideal first step onto the property ladder for first time buyers, relocating purchasers seeking to be close to shops and facilities or even a holiday-let for budding investors in this beautiful town found directly on the Offas Dyke footpath.

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.
