In addition, located in neighbouring West Street, finds the famous Offa's Dyke centre, which directly behind has a large play park and playing field and of course the Offa's Dyke footpath, which within a short 5 minute walk leads you straight into the picturesque countryside and alongside the River Teme. Lovingly maintained over the years, The Manse does now require modernisation in certain areas.

Outside there are front, side and rear gardens, which are laid to lawn, along with flowered beds and a mixture of mature shrubs. A path leads from the front gate to the front door and along the side of the house to the rear garden. The south-west facing rear garden has the addition of 2 useful storage/potting sheds and a vegetable patch. Parking-wise, there is no designated parking, however, unrestricted parking is located directly out front.

Inside, the front door opens into the impressive hallway, which has stairs rising up to the first floor and separate doors leading into the sitting room, living room and dining room. A further door leads down the hobby room/fourth bedroom on the lower ground floor. Both the sitting room and living room have feature fireplaces and bay windows. From the dining room a door accesses the kitchen, while a further door leads into the rear utility. A door from the kitchen opens out to the garden. Upstairs, a landing area gives way to the 3 double bedrooms and the house bathroom. Distant countryside views over neighbouring rooftops are enjoyed from the first floor.

The town features a large community centre which has a strong volunteer network attached to it. The centre holds a monthly community market and in addition a number of charities, organisations and clubs use the centre for their activities. Still a thriving market town spearheaded by local organisations, Knighton is a peaceful town offering breath taking, picturesque scenery and fully accommodates the laid back, relaxed lifestyle that many potential purchasers will be looking for. Described as the ‘The Gateway to Wales’ this market town is situated on the English/Welsh border. Mostly in Powys, partly in Shropshire it lies on the River Teme and is surrounded by hills giving the traveller a glimpse of the more remote areas accessible nearby.

The town's Welsh name is Tref-Y-Clawdd meaning “Town on the Dyke”. This is a reference to Offa’s Dyke, which runs through the town, built by the Saxon King of Mercia to define his border with Wales. Every year hundreds of tourists and walkers visit the Dyke (which in its entirety runs from Prestatyn to Chepstow) and the Offa’s Dyke Centre adding a real vibe to the town during the Spring, Summer and Autumn months. While here, other attractions that visitors to the town often call upon is the famous Space Guard Centre, which offers people the chance to view the wonders of the universe in a fun and understandable way while also raising public awareness of the threat of asteroid and comet impacts and the ways in which they can predict and prevent them. Larger towns near to Knighton are the medieval market town of Ludlow, 18 miles East, and the Victorian Spa town Llandrindod Wells, 19 Miles South West. Both are easily accessible via road or rail links and offer further recreational, educational and leisure facilities.
