House For Sale £175,000
At Holters we believe Townend is an incorrectly named address and really this property should be renamed No.68 Handyend! The reasons behind our theory owes to the handy convenience in which this refurbished, well maintained, 3 bedroom, end-of-terrace house offers to a number of useful facilities including the town centre, schools, leisure centre and playing fields! No.68 Handyend also features a good-sized garden, views and off road parking.

The Property
Introducing No.68 Townend, which is a well maintained, end-of-terraced house situated in the heart of the popular market town of Presteigne (Llanandras) found close to the Welsh/English border, which in 2018 was once again named as one of the best small towns to live in by the Sunday Times.
Originally built circa late 1960's and refurbished between 2018-20 by the current owners, 68 Townend has seen improvements such as a new kitchen, utility, bathroom, installation of a combi boiler, new flooring (downstairs), radiators, electrics, UPVC fascias, barge boards and guttering, as well as a complete re-decoration. The property is ready to move straight into without a finger needing to be lifted.
The accommodation is made up on the ground floor of an entrance hall with stairs rising off to the first floor, a light and airy living room, an open-plan kitchen diner and a useful utility room fitted with a W.C. There is also a handy understairs storage cupboard accessed from the kitchen diner, as well as a further door leading outside to the rear garden. On the first floor a landing area gives way to modern bathroom, complete with a p-shaped bath, a storage cupboard and the 3 bedrooms, to include 2 double-sized rooms and a single. From the front bedrooms and the landing area, distant views towards the picturesque countryside are on offer beyond the neighbouring rooftops. Improved since the last EPC was recorded having had a new 'Worcester' combi boiler installed approx. 2 years ago, 68 Townend is relatively efficient to heat and also benefits UPVC double glazed windows, external doors and UPVC soffits, barge and fascia boards for ease of maintenance.
Outside, a front driveway offers private, off road parking for 2 vehicles, which is a real novelty in the cul-de-sac, while to the side of the house is an enclosed, good-sized lawned garden with wooden summer house. At the rear of the property, there is a paved and decked courtyard garden, which has a fitted seating area and poses a great spot to relax/entertain on within the warmer months of the year. There is also a useful, brick-built storage shed as well as outside power points and lighting.
The property is conveniently situated just a mere stones throw from the town centre with its many independently owned shops and facilities as well as the Secondary School and Leisure Centre/Swimming Pool.
