“Merrimede” is an individual architect designed split

level house with a large garden in a commanding

position enjoying fine uninterrupted southerly views

over surrounding countryside. The property was

built in 1963 for a former mayor of Kington, with

quality materials by a renown local builder (original

drawings are available). There is a terrace to the

south side of the property which extends the full

width of the site from which a series of paths and

steps descend to the lower garden laid out partly

to lawn with fruit trees and a vegetable garden

beyond.

The kitchen has been refitted and the property has

been improved with new double-glazed windows

and doors, cavity wall and loft insulation. The gas

boiler has recently been replaced and interior

redecorated.

The property offers considerable potential for

development with plans available from the selling

agents. This could include conversion of the garage

into a bedroom/study/office and the addition of a

conservatory/garden room. The southerly aspect

allows for the installation of energy saving solar roof

panels to be an attractive prospect

Ground Floor: Hall, Lower Hall, Lounge, Dining Room/Bedroom 3, Kitchen, WC, and First Floor: Landing, Bedroom 1, Bedroom 2, Bathroom and Integrated single garage capable of conversion into more accommodation. Large South facing garden with orchard.

Kington is an historic market town on the

English/Welsh border north-west of Hereford

situated on the River Arrow on the English side

of Offa’s Dyke. It has been an English town for

a thousand years. The place name Kington is

recorded in the Domesday Book as “Chingtune”,

its meaning commemorates a Royal Manor.

The town still has a livestock market and regular

county market, food and craft markets. Kington

caters for a wide range of cultural and leisure

activities. This includes an attractive riverside

cricket ground, and on Bradnor Hill an 18 holes

golf course which is said to be the highest golf

course in England.

There is a local Primary School in the town

centre, together with the Lady Hawkins

Secondary School, both of which are rated

“Good” by OFSTED. The Parish church of St.

Mary’s is within 200 yards of the property and

the local amenities are within walking distance.
