Ty Capel Llangunllo, Knighton, Powys, LD7 1SR

Property Description

Location
The cottage is situated in Llangunllo, a small rural village set within the rolling countryside of Powys, close to the borders of Herefordshire and Shropshire.
The village has a strong sense of community and benefits from a local public house. Whilst Llangunllo remains very much a rural setting, it is conveniently located for the nearby market towns of Knighton, Presteigne and Kington, all of which offer a wider range of everyday amenities, schooling, independent shops and leisure facilities.
The area is particularly well regarded for its natural beauty, with access to walking routes, bridleways and unspoilt countryside directly from the doorstep. Despite its tranquil setting, the village remains accessible for those commuting within the Welsh Marches and surrounding counties.

Ground Floor
Entering through the front door, you are welcomed into the central hallway. To the right is the living room, a well-proportioned reception room featuring a central fireplace with a wood-burning stove (please note we have been advised that although the stove works it requires repair or replacement), set on a stone hearth. The room benefits from painted timber beams, a quarry tiled floor, and windows to both the front and side elevations, allowing plenty of natural light.

Returning to the hallway, steps lead up to the kitchen. This space features exposed ceiling timbers, a window to the front elevation, a range of base and wall units, a stainless steel sink and drainer, and space for an electric oven and hob. There is also a useful storage cupboard and a door concealing the staircase rising to the first floor.

.
Beyond the kitchen is a corridor leading to the former garage. This provides a useful space to accommodate a small utility area, with exposed stonework adding further character. Leading through to the former garage, the original garage door has been infilled with stone, and the space is currently utilised for storage. Subject to any necessary consents, it offers excellent potential to create additional living accommodation.

First Floor
Returning to the kitchen, the staircase rises to a half landing, where the principal bedroom is situated. Spanning the width of the cottage, this delightful room enjoys windows to both the front and side elevations, offering lovely views across the village and surrounding countryside. The room also benefits from exposed floor timbers and a useful storage cupboard.

Returning to the landing (please note there is limited head height in places), there are two further well-proportioned bedrooms positioned to the rear of the cottage, both capable of accommodating a double bed.

.
Completing the first-floor accommodation is the family bathroom, fitted with a suite comprising a panelled bath with electric shower over, tiled splashbacks and shower curtain, pedestal wash hand basin, and WC. The room also benefits from vinyl flooring, exposed ceiling timbers, and a window to the front elevation.

Overall, this is a delightful character cottage offering immense potential for further sensitive repair. It presents an exciting opportunity for a purchaser to complete additional work on the property whilst preserving its wealth of original charm. All windows have been replaced in a traditional style, all new plastering has been done in lime and breathable paints used throughout.

Gardens
The cottage benefits from well-maintained gardens, with a detached garden area situated directly adjacent to the property across the lane.

The gardens surrounding the cottage are typical of a character home, being mainly laid to lawn with established shrub and flower borders, complemented by a mixture of hedging and wooden fencing to the boundaries.

The detached garden, extending to approximately 0.079 acres, provides a wonderfully private outdoor space. Currently enjoyed in a more natural state by the current owners, the area offers excellent potential for the keen gardener to create a beautiful garden retreat. Alternatively, it provides a peaceful haven in which to relax and enjoy, surrounded by mature trees and offering a wonderful sense of privacy and seclusion.

Parking
To the front of the cottage, there is a parking space situated in front of the former garage. The front of the property offers scope for enhancement of the existing parking arrangements.

On-street parking is also available within the village at the bottom of the hill, subject to availability.

Agents Note:
We have been advised by the current owners that the property underwent a complete electrical rewire in 2020. Further improvements include the replacement of the windows in 2023 with double-glazed wooden sash windows, the addition of sheep’s wool insulation to part of the loft in 2024, and repairs undertaken in 2025 to strengthen the front wall of the former garage.
