4+ bedroom extended traditional semi-detached stone cottage, 2.5 acres & equestrian / livestock facilities near Knighton, Powys

Agincourt House, Llangunllo, Knighton, Powys LD7 1SU

Sold Subject to Contract

This was our dream home and pony stud but we need to sell and return to Australia for personal / family reasons. We would also consider a lease, or lease with option to purchase.

• The original part of the cottage is cosy and comfortable, but the extension, particularly downstairs, needs some finishing off (as described below), most materials have been purchased and are on site
• It is a 4+ bedroom extended traditional semi-detached stone cottage, with approx. 2.5 acres of gardens and paddocks, and equestrian / livestock facilities comprising 7 looseboxes, a small manège area and large barn (60’ x 80’)

The views from all windows are fabulous and it is on a quiet road.

The barn and manège area would also be eminently suitable for use as a mechanic's or craft workshop (planning permission for this was apparently granted some years ago).

Location
