Location

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 via a small canopy porch, you are welcomed into the entrance hallway, a pleasant space offering useful practical storage. A staircase rises to the first floor, while a door opens into the main living accommodation. To the right, the kitchen/dining room spans the full width of the cottage. This lovely, well-appointed space features base units with oak work surfaces over, an inset Belfast sink, built-in open shelving, a decorative Rayburn, and a range cooker with extractor over. The character of the property shines through with quarry tiled flooring, exposed beams, and stonework. There is ample space for a family dining table and chairs, with windows to each end taking full advantage of the splendid views.

A farmhouse door leads into a highly practical utility room, fitted with built-in shelving, granite work surfaces over, a Belfast sink, and space and plumbing for laundry appliances. There is also room for hanging outdoor gear, quarry tiled flooring, and a wooden stable door to the front—an ideal space perfectly suited to a village or rural lifestyle. To the rear is the boiler room.

Continuing through the hallway, you reach the secondary reception room, a versatile space featuring beautiful oak flooring, exposed stonework, and an inset woodburning stove set on a brick hearth with an oak mantle. Currently utilised as a home office and family dining room, it benefits from a window to the front. A door leads into a room presently used as a bedroom, though it could serve a variety of purposes depending on the owner’s requirements. If used as a bedroom, it offers a good-sized double room with a window to the front and access to the family bathroom. The bathroom comprises a white suite, including a panelled bath with shower over and tiled surround, pedestal wash hand basin, and WC, with further access to a good-sized store room.

The bedroom also provides access into the UPVC conservatory, with doors at both ends—an excellent space to sit and enjoy the surrounding views. This end of the property could easily be arranged as a self-contained annexe, offering excellent potential for multigenerational living.

First Floor

Moving to the first floor, the landing benefits from a window to the rear. At the far end is a beautiful living room, enjoying two large windows to the front and a central woodburning stove. This space fully takes advantage of the village setting and long-distance hilltop views—an idyllic spot to sit and watch the weather roll in across the valleys. Returning along the landing, there are three bedrooms. The principal bedroom is a luxurious room spanning the full width of the cottage, with good-sized built-in wardrobes and windows to both the front and rear. The second bedroom is another well-proportioned double, featuring built-in cupboard space and a window to the front. The third/fourth bedroom (depending on how the ground floor room is utilised) is a single room, again with a window to the front. Completing the first floor is the family bathroom, a well-appointed space fitted with a large corner shower with glass screen and tiled splashback, WC, and a useful vanity unit (truncated)
