The Property

Introducing Oak View, which is a beautifully presented, detached modern cottage situated in the heart of the popular market town of Presteigne (Llanandras) found close to the Welsh/English border, which in 2018 was again named as one of the best small towns to live in by the Sunday Times.

Built circa 2007, Oak View is available with no upward chain and is conveniently situated a mere stones throw from the main High Street with its many independently owned shops and facilities. The property could be an ideal home for a variety of buyer types to include first time buyers who are looking to make that all important first step onto the property ladder, or downsizing purchasers seeking to be close to the town centre. Alternatively and for budding investors, the property is currently run as a successful holiday-let.

The accommodation itself has been maintained to a very high standard by the current owner and is arranged over 2 floors. The ground floor is made of an entrance hall with stairs rising off to the first floor, a useful downstairs W.C, a living room with space for a 3 piece suite and the kitchen/diner, which has a door leading out to the rear garden. The kitchen diner has ample space for a table and chairs and houses the newly installed (2022) Worcester combination boiler. On the first floor, a landing area gives way to the modern shower room, a useful storage cupboard and the 2 double bedrooms. Bedroom one enjoys far reaching views across the surrounding countryside and has a door leading into a useful walk-in wardrobe/store, which potentially could be converted into a private en-suite, subject to all necessary permissions.

Outside, at the front of the property a tarmacadam driveway provides off road parking for 2 vehicles. Steps from the driveway lead to the paved frontage, which continues around to both sides and the rear of the house. At the back, the south-west facing garden is terraced with flowered beds and has raised decked seating area, which poses as delightful spot to relax/entertain on within the warmer months of the year. Below the decking area is a useful storage space, while overall the low maintenance gardens have well-defined hedged and stone walled borders. A door from the right side opens back into the kitchen/diner.
