New Invention, Bucknell, Shropshire, SY7

The Forge is an impressive country residence that has undergone extensive renovations by the current owner, blending modern enhancements with original and character-rich features, preserving numerous period elements such as stone roof tiles, exposed stone walls, and timber beams throughout the property. Whilst a proportion of the dwelling maintains original, it has been expanded to include the benefits of a spacious living room, dining kitchen, and two additional bedrooms. It offers generous accommodation over three floors to provide a spacious country home of approximately 3,022 sq ft / 280.7 sq metres. Externally, the property is surrounded by a blank canvas lawned garden featuring a lean too greenhouse and vegetable patch. With the above in mind, although the majoirty of the hard work has been completed, the finer details and cosmetic effects needs to be completed, such fitting of wall lights, and the completion of the single storey addition to the side of the property, which leads itself to a utility area, or a separate home office, studio or annexe. The property is located in the idyllic countryside close to the Welsh Border, 4 miles north of Knighton (Tref y Clawdd) which is in Mid Wales. The market town of Knighton lies within the historic county boundary of Radnorshire, sited on the River Teme, with a railway station on the Heart of Wales line. The Offas Dyke footpath is a 177-mile National Trail footpath that closely follows the England/Wales border. It opened in 1971 from Prestatyn to Chepstow with Knighton sitting at the halfway point with a visitors’ centre. Knighton has a primary school, supermarket, leisure centre and many other smaller independent shops. The larger market town of Ludlow, 16 miles has a wider variety of facilities and hosts the famous Ludlow Food Festival. The larger Spa town of Llandrindod Wells, 18 miles offers a further wider range of facilities.
