An Historical Note The Walled Garden once formed part of the Knill Court Estate, of which the Court no longer exists.

At the turn of the 20th Century there were probably at least three gardener’s cottages forming part of the wall of the garden. In the mid to late 1900’s these were amalgamated to create The Walled Garden as it is today. Situation The small hamlet of Knill is some 4 miles south west of Presteigne. In the most perfect of settings, tucked away and yet very accessible, this is the perfect spot for tranquil living. The house has a wonderful southerly aspect looking over its mature beautiful garden. The Hindwell Brook, which eventually flows into the , between Shobdon and Presteigne, mainly forms the southern boundary. Description The lane to Knill ends at The Walled Garden, having passed St Michael’s church. The drive crosses a gated cattle grid and sweeps around the curved wall of the garden and under an arch with a courtyard clock above, to the back of the house. The setting is special. There are three entrances into the house along this elevation, the formal one being a Porch leading into a Hall with the front staircase and cloakroom. Opposite is the Garden Room with french doors out onto the panoramic terrace. The Drawing Room has a central chimney with a wood burning stove serving both sided and French doors on the gable end. The Dining Room leads directly into the fully fitted Kitchen/ Breakfast Room with its Aga and attractive window seats. Off the rear Hall is the back staircase with a cupboard under, Pantry and Utility Room with the central heating boiler and back door. The second and larger Porch also acts as a Boot Room. The Sitting Room has an adjoining Bathroom and a glazed door out into the garden. There are five Bedrooms on the first floor, one of which is used as a Study, three have their own bathrooms and the fifth bedroom is off the rear landing.

The adjoining Cottage, called Owl Cottage, is self- contained. The small reception Hall has a cloakroom and staircase. The large Living Room adjoins the Kitchen with its back door.

There are three bedrooms and a bathroom, two of the bedrooms are above the open ended two car garage.
