Mill Bungalow Knucklas, Knighton, Powys, LD7 1PN

Property Description

Location
Knucklas is a village with a strong sense of community and is renowned for its iconic Grade II listed viaduct. The village benefits from a railway station on the Heart of Wales Line, which connects Swansea to Shrewsbury, and is also served by a regular bus route to Kington via Knighton.

The market town of Knighton, approximately 2.5 miles from Knucklas, offers a comprehensive range of shopping facilities, healthcare services, a primary school and leisure centre, as well as road and rail connections.

The area is celebrated for its beautiful countryside and offers abundant opportunities for outdoor pursuits.

The larger towns of Ludlow and Leominster are both approximately 18 miles away, whilst the cathedral city of Hereford is approximately 35 miles away.

Accommodation
Entering through the enclosed front porch, a great practical storage space, an additional door leads through to the kitchen.

The open-plan kitchen and dining room is a particularly great feature of the home, being a large, well-equipped space comprising a good range of base and wall cupboards and drawers. A large central island houses the range cooker, with extractor fan over, creating a really sociable kitchen finished to a good standard. With a window to the side and two windows to the front, this is a room filled with natural light.

.
The dining area is carpeted and includes a small storage cupboard, with a door from the kitchen leading out to the side and a further door through to the living room. This is a spacious and characterful living room, centred around an impressive exposed brick fireplace with a wood-burning stove, creating a lovely focal point to the room. Again, the room is filled with natural light, benefiting from three-panel sliding uPVC glazed doors, with lovely outlooks over the rolling hills beyond.

.
Moving back through to the kitchen and into the central hallway, to your left is the family bathroom. This is a well-appointed room, complete with a shower unit with glass surround and fully tiled walls. There is also a built-in vanity unit housing a wash hand basin and WC, along with an obscure window to the side.

Moving along, as per the floorplan, are bedrooms two and three. These are very similar in size, being well-proportioned double bedrooms, with windows to the side looking out towards the viaduct.

.
The principal bedroom is located to the rear of the bungalow and is a good-sized double room, with a window to the rear offering lovely outlooks over the surrounding countryside.

Also to the rear is a further reception room, which would make an ideal hobby room or home office. From here, access is given to the conservatory, a fantastic addition with uPVC construction and French doors leading out to the gardens. The conservatory makes full use of the property's lovely, slightly elevated position, overlooking the surrounding village rooftops and hills beyond, along with views towards the viaduct.

Parking
Wooden vehicular gate providing access to a gravelled parking area.

Garden
The property occupies a good-sized plot, with a gravelled parking area to the front, together with a small lawn and mature shrubs and bushes to the boundaries. The gardens benefit from pedestrian access to both sides of the property.
A particular feature of the property is its exceptional position immediately alongside the historic Knucklas Viaduct, which forms a distinctive backdrop to the home. To the rear, a patio area directly in front of the conservatory provides an ideal seating area, with sections of lawn, inset flower beds and gravelled pathways leading through the garden, all making the most of this unusual setting.
The Grade II* listed viaduct dates from the 1860s and forms part of the historic Heart of Wales railway line, having this impressive piece of local history immediately alongside the property gives the gardens a particularly special character.
To the side of the property is a useful amenity area with a shed and further gravelled seating area, providing additional space to sit and enjoy this distinctive setting.
