The Property - Introducing Glynteg, which is a detached, sizeable property found on the very edge of the sought after market town of Presteigne (Llanandras), close to the English/Welsh border and surrounded by beautiful countryside and rolling hills as far as the eye can see.
Originally built in 1929 for a teacher at the local grammar school, Glynteg is an attractive and spacious dwelling, offering 4 double bedrooms, 2 reception rooms, 2 WCs and 1 family bathroom. In addition and following a part conversion of the garage in 2000, the property also features a 1 bedroom, self-contained annexe. Perfect for those with an elderly relative, more independent child, or for anyone wishing to generate an extra income as a standard or holiday let. The accommodation spans over 2 floors and offers a pleasant blend of contemporary and traditional features, from secondary glazing and solar panelling, to fireplaces, bay windows, brass light switches, quarry tiled and wooden flooring and wood-burning stoves, all just to mention a select few.
Location-wise, Glynteg truly offers the best of both town and country living, by being peacefully positioned on the very outskirts of Presteigne, surrounded by open countryside and wildlife, while in contrast, found approx. 1/4 of a mile away finds Presteigne's vibrant town centre with its many independently owned shops and facilities. The property also enjoys stunning countryside views to both the front and rear, as well as sideward views towards nearby Stapleton Castle.
A truly magnificent residence, which stands proud at the end of a road full of many character and individual homes, Glynteg has been lovingly maintained by the present owner over the past number of years, but now requires modernisation within certain areas, allowing buyers the ideal opportunity to add their own stamp onto this unique property. Inside, the property is made up on the ground floor of a entrance porch and hallway with stairs rising off to the first floor, a WC, a store, a living room and further reception room and the kitchen/diner. From the reception room, a door leads into an inner hall allowing access to the annexe bathroom and kitchen/diner. Stairs from the annexe kitchen/diner rise to the first floor bedroom/reception room, while a door leads out to the rear garden and provides private access into the annexe. On the first floor of the main accommodation, a light and airy landing area gives way to 4 double bedrooms, a storage cupboard, a bathroom and separate W.C.
Outside, the property is approached over a gated, gravelled driveway, allowing off road parking for at least 6 vehicles and leads to an attached garage, complete with service pit. The largely lawned gardens encompasses the dwelling and stretches to approx. 0.5 acres in total. Perfect for all horticultural enthusiasts to get their green fingers stuck into, the gardens feature a decorative pond, planted beds, a wood store, a useful garden shed, an array of mature shrubs and trees and found in the far corner of the rear garden are the ground fixed solar panels, which help significantly reduce the electricity costs and also provide a passive income.
The Town - Presteigne sits alongside the river Lugg, near to 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. 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. Sports clubs in the area are renowned after various successes across Wales, including Presteigne Saint Andrews Football Club, Presteigne Bowling Club, Cricket Club and a ladies Hockey Team.
Further educational facilities are available within the area, which include many highly regarded private primary and secondary schools including Hereford Cathedral School, Lucton School just outside Leominster, Moor Park just outside Ludlow and Christ College in Brecon. There are 6 separate colleges including Newtown College, Hereford College of Arts, Herefordshire & Ludlow College, The National School of Blacksmithing (the oldest established Blacksmithing college in the UK), Hereford Sixth Form College and The Royal National College for the Blind, which is one of the top colleges in Europe for blind and visually impaired students.
