Whitterleys Cottage, a three bedroom house in Knighton, is currently on the market looking for offers in the region of £525,000.

Describing the property, Holters said: “Originally built circa 1800's, this spacious cottage has been extended and upgraded overtime creating what is now a sizeable, three double bedroomed dwelling which also includes three reception rooms and two bathrooms.
“Improved and lovingly maintained by the current owners over recent years, Whitterleys Cottage offers a pleasant blend of traditional and contemporary features from an inglenook fireplace with original bread oven, flagstone flooring and exposed timber beams to double glazed windows, a fully equipped kitchen complete with granite worktops.
“In addition, the current owners have further improved the efficiency of the property by insulating and re-rendering a number of external walls, as well as re-roofing all flat roofs in 2022.
“In 2020 they purchased more land from the neighbouring farmer, extending the rear garden, while in the same year also constructed the unique, detached, timber clad garden studio, which offers a variety of purposes and enjoys stunning countryside views.
“The garden studio has power and lighting, panel heaters, water, a W.C and a wood-burning stove and is perfect for those with a hobby or wishing to work from home.
“Inside, the ground floor accommodation is made of a porch, open-plan kitchen diner, living room, sitting room, hallway with stairs rising to the first floor, a downstairs shower room, separate W.C and a useful utility room.
“Upstairs, a landing area gives way to three double bedrooms, while bedroom one also boasts a private en-suite.
“The encompassing gardens would be a haven for any horticultural enthusiasts while enjoying the scenic backdrop over the surrounding fields and down the Teme Valley and across to Kinsley Wood and Panpwnton.”
