An Historical noteThe 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.

situationThe 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 River Lugg, 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.

the gardenThe high brick wall of the walled garden is three sided, the open

side being on the south side along the brook and divides the

garden. Outside the wall, the drive has a mature wooded bank

of trees on one side with oak, ash, yew, cherry and lime. A pretty

chestnut has autumn crocusus near the entrance. The back garden

has a large greenhouse and lawns divided by box hedging and a

new mower shed and garden store. The grotto and bog gardens

form the edges of the garden on the north and west side. Within the

wall the expanse of lawn sweeps down to the brook. To one side is a

mature ash. Within the wall are two particularly ornate wrought iron

gates. The terrace beside the house also includes a raised pond.
