Description

Nestled in the picturesque market town of Knighton, Holly Cottage presents an appealing two-bedroom residence with ample renovation potential. Ideally situated within walking distance of local shops and essential amenities, this property is further enhanced by a garden and an outbuilding, which add to its functionality and charm. The home requires updating, making it an excellent opportunity for those looking to personalize a space or invest in a property with considerable upside. The location is particularly advantageous, set in a tranquil residential area that provides easy access to the town center. Knighton offers a variety of services, including healthcare facilities and leisure options, while its beautiful rural backdrop caters to outdoor enthusiasts. Larger market towns such as Ludlow and Leominster are approximately 17 and 20 miles away respectively, with Hereford city just about 30 miles distant. Upon entering the cottage through a UPVC front door, you are welcomed into a small hallway that leads to various living spaces. The living room is notably spacious and benefits from natural light with windows on either side. A prominent brick fireplace with an inset gas fire serves as a charming focal point. This versatile area lends itself not only as a comfortable living space but also has the potential for dining. The kitchen is compact yet functional, featuring windows that overlook the front and side gardens. Fitted units allow for generous worktop space alongside a sink and drainer, while plumbing provisions are available for both washing machines and cookers. Accessed via a staircase from the living room, the first floor comprises two double bedrooms: the first bedroom spans the width of the house providing ample space; while the second includes convenient fitted cupboard storage. Externally, you'll find a quaint front garden accessed through a wicket gate leading to both the entrance door and rear yard. The side garden features established hedging alongside level lawn areas surrounded by shrubs—this low-maintenance outdoor space presents opportunities for enhancement, complemented by the soothing sounds of a nearby brook. An outbuilding located near the property—which was previously utilized as a workshop—offers substantial additional space that could be repurposed or expanded upon with appropriate permissions. Currently obscured from view and reached via a wooden pedestrian door, this structure holds potential for further development or creative use. While there is no direct parking available at Holly Cottage, nearby public parking options exist along with on-street availability where applicable. It is important to note that access to the cottage is primarily on foot. With its combination of location benefits and renovation possibilities, Holly Cottage stands out as an intriguing option
