The Property
52 Castle Road is a deceptively spacious, semi-detached, 3 bedroom house located within a popular cul-se-sac towards the edge 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.
Well maintained over the years, but requiring modernisation in certain areas, 52 Castle Road is available to buy with vacant possession and no onward chain and neighbours a number of other similarly designed, semi-detached properties built circa 1950's. Castle Road is conveniently situated approximately 500 yards from the town centre with its many independently owned shops and facilities and the primary school, while slightly further afield finds the secondary school and leisure centre/swimming pool. For those who enjoy walking in the great outdoors, the property is suitably positioned close to the edge of town and within a blink of an eye you will find yourself roaming along a winding footpath through the beautiful Mid Wales countryside.
Inside, the accommodation spans across 2 floors and is made up on the ground floor of an entrance porch, hallway, lounge/diner, living room, kitchen, side lobby and a useful utility/W.C. Both reception rooms offer feature fireplaces, while the living room has French doors opening out to the rear garden. The hallway has stairs rising off to the first floor, as well as a useful understairs storage area. Subject to all necessary permissions, walls could potentially be removed to open up the kitchen area or extended to the side or rear like other neighbouring properties. On the first floor, a landing area gives way to the modern shower room and the 3 generously-sized bedrooms. Both bedrooms 1 & 2 have feature fireplaces, while an airing cupboard in the shower room houses a water cylinder.
Outside, the property is approached from the roadside, where there is unrestricted parking and through an entrance gate and the lawned front garden, which could potentially be altered to provide off road parking, subject to all necessary permissions. A paved pathway continues through a further gate alongside the property, passing the side entrance door and out to the rear garden. Directly south-facing, the sizeable rear garden is largely laid to lawn and planted with mature shrubs and has well-defined hedged and fenced borders. At the back of the rear garden finds a useful, block-built shed.
Overall this superb dwelling is open to variety of buyer types, from first time buyers looking to make that all important step onto the property ladder, to downsizing purchasers seeking to be nearer to everyday facilities, or perhaps a young family looking for more space inside and outside and close to the local primary school for their children.
The Town
Presteigne sits alongside the river Lugg, at the corner of the three counties of Shropshire, Herefordshire and Powys, within a short drive to Hay-On-Wye, Hereford, Ludlow and Shrewsbury, surrounded by beautiful, unspoilt countryside, perfect for walking and cycle rides and was named again as one of the best small towns to live in by the Sunday Times in 2018. Just to the west are Radnor Forest and Offa's Dyke. Go slightly south west and you can browse the book shops of Hay-On-Wye, and to the east you can sample the renowned culinary delights of Ludlow. Hereford, with its Cathedral, is 26 miles away and in between there are activities and visits to satisfy a whole variety of tastes. The High Street has a good range of individual shops, restaurants, pubs, hotels and services. There’s even a Michelin starred restaurant five miles outside Presteigne. Throughout the year the senses are served with a range of musical and arts based events; The Presteigne Music Festival is a prestigious and internationally renowned regular event and throughout the year other musical events provide a rich and eclectic menu. There is a calendar of high quality art exhibitions throughout the year, whilst the Church of St Andrew's permanently houses its own treasure, a 16th century Flemish Tapestry.
The Judge's Lodging museum, a Georgian Court House complete with cells, courtroom and living quarters has been classed as Britain’s Best Hidden Gem. The town is home to educational facilities to suit all ages, Presteigne Primary School is under a mile away and the newly reformed John Beddoes Campus provides secondary education up to gcse level, acting as a campus of Newtown High School.
