Intro

This quintessential cottage sits within a substantial plot in a highly desirable location, perfectly blending character, comfort, and versatility.

Location

Mill Road, located in The Cwm, is regarded as a desirable area of Knighton. It offers convenient access to the town’s facilities and is made up predominantly of charming character homes. Knighton is a traditional market town in Mid Wales, benefiting from a welcoming community and excellent local amenities. The town boasts a range of facilities including a primary school, supermarket, leisure centre, and a variety of independent shops. The larger market town of Ludlow, approximately 16 miles away, offers a broader selection of services. The spa town of Llandrindod Wells, about 18 miles distant, provides additional amenities. For more extensive shopping, educational opportunities, and comprehensive transport links, the city of Hereford is approximately 28 miles away, making it easily accessible for residents. Steeped in history, Knighton—known in Welsh as Tref-y-Clawdd, meaning “town on the dyke”—stands on the famous Offa’s Dyke. Just a short walk from the property leads (truncated)

Accommodation

An open-front porch leads into an open-plan kitchen and living room—a sociable space where you’re immediately met with the charm and character of this beautifully well-presented cottage. The living area features flagstone flooring, exposed stonework, and a central stone fireplace with an inset wood burner and window, creating a warm and welcoming place to relax. The kitchen is fitted with quality painted wooden cupboards and drawers, oak work surfaces, tiled flooring, a Belfast sink with a window to the front, and space for a gas cooker with extractor over.

From the living area, a door leads into the shower room, located within the full-height side extension. This striking room includes a large enclosed shower, low-level WC, vanity wash hand basin unit, and full-width wooden shelving—offering a smart blend of practicality and style. Stairs from the kitchen lead to the first floor, where the layout includes a walk-through room currently used as a dressing room. This space could also serve well as a study or occasional second bedroom, featuring painted ceiling timbers and exposed stonework. It provides access to the principal bedroom—a good-sized room that continues the cottage’s character with painted beams, exposed stone walls, and the original fireplace opening. Back downstairs, a door from the kitchen leads to a practical utility room with space for a washing machine, tumble dryer, and fridge/freezer.

Outbuildings

Beyond the utility room, a door opens to the rear of the cottage, where there is a large covered space with black brick flooring—ideal for storing outdoor gear, bikes, or tools. This area leads to the original enclosed outdoor working WC, which offers both practicality and a nod to the cottage’s heritage. A full-height wooden pedestrian gate provides access from here to the side and around to the front of the property. To the rear right-hand side of the cottage is an additional room currently used for dry storage. This space offers excellent potential to be converted into a hobby room, studio, or home office. Adjacent to this is a good-sized woodshed. Together, these spaces significantly increase the usable footprint of the cottage. Subject to the necessary consents, the outbuildings and lean-to areas present a fantastic opportunity to extend or adapt the property to suit a range of needs.

.

Further up the garden path, you’ll find a detached building currently used by the vendor as a retreat/relaxation room. This generous space includes windows to the front and side, power and lighting, and a wood-burning stove. It offers excellent potential for conversion into additional accommodation—such as a guest suite or Airbnb rental—especially when used in conjunction with the nearby outdoor WC, again subject to the necessary consents.

Gardens

The cottage is approached via a short footpath off Mill Road, which leads to the front porch and also continues around to the rear of the property. The garden, accessed from both the rear pedestrian gate and the cottage itself, lies mainly to the right and features dedicated seating areas, flowering shrubs, and planted borders, along with a sloping lawn. It is bordered by mature hedging—creating a lovely, private spot with elevated views.

Parking

There is no dedicated parking with the property, although parking spaces may be available nearby, depending on availability. The garden to the side of the property may offer potential to create parking, subject to the necessary permissions.

Agents Note

The property is situated within the Conservation Area. Please note, a public footpath runs to the front of the property but lies outside the property boundaries.
