London Road, Knighton, Market Drayton, Shropshire

WE ALL KNOW THAT FAMOUS SAYING, LOCATION-LOCATION-LOCATION AND SET IN THE SOUGHT-AFTER HAMLET OF KNIGHTON, IS THIS CHARMING GRADE II LISTED COTTAGE, OFFERING A WEALTH OR CHARACTER AND CHARM THROUGHOUT, AN ATTRACTIVE GARDEN AND A USEFUL BRICK-BUILT OUTBUILDING.

Knighton is a rural hamlet situated within the Staffordshire countryside, surrounded by attractive farmland and rolling countryside. The hamlet enjoys a peaceful rural setting whilst remaining conveniently placed for the access to the neighbouring village of Woore, just a short distance away.

Woore is a popular and well-established village offering a range of everyday amenities, including a village shop, public houses, primary school and community facilities. The surrounding countryside provides excellent opportunities for walking and outdoor pursuits, whilst the nearby A51 and A525 provide good road connections towards Market Drayton, Newcastle-under-Lyme, Nantwich and the wider road network.

The combination of quiet rural surroundings and convenient access to Woore and nearby towns makes Knighton an appealing location for those seeking a country lifestyle without being too remote.

Outside, the property benefits from an attractive and generously proportioned garden. A brick wall forms the front boundary, with a paved pathway leading to the entrance and continuing alongside the house. To the rear is a paved patio, shaped lawn and useful garden storage.

Of particular interest is the characterful brick-built garden outbuilding which, subject to any necessary consents, may offer potential for renovation as a summer room, home office or hobby space. A rear pedestrian gate provides access onto Chapel Lane.

The generous rear garden may also offer potential for a sympathetic extension to the cottage, subject to planning permission and Listed Building Consent. Prospective purchasers should make their own enquiries with the local planning authority.

This is a particularly appealing Grade ll listed period cottage would make an excellent permanent home, weekend retreat or investment property. Full of traditional charm, the accommodation includes a cosy sitting room with wood-burning stove, cottage-style kitchen, double bedroom and bathroom, together with attractive period-style features in keeping with the age and character of the property.

Condition and Remedial Works

The property is being offered at a revised guide price of £145,000 to reflect its current condition and the remedial works identified following investigations undertaken during the previous sale.

Specialist reports and quotations have been obtained in relation to moisture and damp-related matters and can be made available to prospective purchasers.

The vendor has chosen to offer the property for sale in its present condition rather than undertake works prior to sale, allowing a purchaser to carry out remedial works to their own specification and timescale.

These matters affected the previous purchaser’s mortgage application and the property may therefore be particularly suited to cash purchasers or buyers able to take appropriate advice regarding mortgage lending and any remedial works required.

Prospective purchasers are encouraged to obtain their own independent survey and

specialist advice.
