The Property

Silia View Cottage is a superb, detached modern house, located on a corner plot on the edge of the popular border town of Presteigne, less than 0.25 miles from the vibrant town centre and within walking distance of both the primary school and the high school/leisure centre.

Offering the best of both worlds, Silia View Cottage enjoys the convenience of the town centre facilities close by, while also backing directly onto an open meadow
ature reserve offering uninterrupted views across the green and towards the woodland and countryside beyond. The perfect place for children to explore and play in!

Built in 2006 with quality in mind, including a solid block construction with brick skin, rather than the more common and cheaper timber framed alternative, Silia View Cottage is beautifully presented and offers ample insulation, as well as double glazing throughout, making it a very efficient and warm home.

Inside, the house is made up of an entrance hall with stairs rising off to the first floor accommodation and seperate doors opening into the downstairs W.C, useful utility which houses the boiler, the impressive kitchen, the dining room and the living room. Both the dining room and living room have French doors leading out to the rear garden, while a door from the utility also provides access outside. Upstairs, the landing area has doors leading off into the modern bathroom, a large linen/storage cupboard and the 3 bedrooms which all enjoy similar rear views over the adjoining meadow.

Outside, a gravelled drive provides off road parking for numerous vehicles. Although there is no garage, there is more than enough space to build one to the right of the property where a concrete base already exists and currently accommodates the wood store and garden shed. Overall, the gardens are low maintenance and largely gravelled and paved. A perfect spot to relax or entertain, the gardens have well-defined fenced and brick walled boundaries, as well as a small wicket gate which opens out to the meadow behind.
