**Introduction**
The Bank House is situated just off the B4362 Road from Mortimers Cross
through to Shobdon and beyond to Presteigne.
The house is within 2 miles of Presteigne and 10 miles of Ludlow and
Leominster. The County Cities of Hereford lie within 25 miles and Shrewsbury
30 miles.
There are the usual range of facilities and amenities at Presteigne, Ludlow
and Leominster and railway stations at Leominster, Hereford, Ludlow and
Shrewsbury.
**Description**
The Bank House presents a rare opportunity to purchase a property as a “blank
canvas” for complete renovation, redevelopment, or reinstatement to create
whatever the purchaser requires subject to the necessary permissions. The
house is predominantly of stone with some brick under pitched grey slate roof
elevations. The property stands in an area of approx. 4. 1 acres of woodland
and overgrown pastureland with coniferous and deciduous trees throughout the
property. The land is quite steeply sloping and requires complete clearance.
The views to the north of the house are elevated and spectacular.
**The House**
As stated, the house is predominantly of stone construction with an external
width of approx. 15ft and length of approx. 45ft.
Ground Floor
Scullery/Pantry
Kitchen with Rayburn
Living Room
First Floor
2 Bedrooms
(Please note that the first floor has not been inspected due to the poor
condition of the floor)
**Outbuildings**
The outbuildings are also in very poor condition and have not been emptied as
emptying them would probably collapse the buildings. Anyone viewing should not
enter the buildings under any circumstances, as they are not structurally
sound.
**The Land**
Beyond the house to the west are the enclosures which have become overgrown
and will need clearance and fencing before any livestock could be introduced.
**Services**
Mains Electricity was connected but has been disconnected and we understand
that there was a spring water supply to the house, but prospective purchasers
would have to make their own investigations with Welsh Water for a mains
supply. We are not aware of any drainage system.
**Mode Of Sale**
The property is being offered for sale by Private Treaty.
**Legal Pack**
The Executor’s Solicitors have prepared a legal pack for The Bank House, which
can be distributed to Prospective Purchasers upon request or accessed via the
following link:
**Money Laundering**
As a result of anti - laundering legislation Prospective Purchasers will need to
show proof of id (Photo id for example passport or driving licence and
Residential id for example current utility bill).
**Access**
The first part of the track leading from the B4362 edged blue on the enclosed
site plan is not owned with the property. However, the Bank House has
exercised pedestrian and vehicular access via this part of the track, it is
believed since the Cottage was built. It may be possible to create a new
access off the B4362 with a graduated private driveway with sweeping curves
leading up to the property subject to obtaining the necessary Planning
Permission and Highway Authority Consent.
**Tenure**
The property is offered as freehold and is being sold with vacant possession
upon completion.
**Directions**
From Presteigne take the B4362 east for Shobdon, Mortimers Cross, Ludlow and
Leominster. Approx 2 miles out of Presteigne the property will be indicated on
the righthand side.
From Mortimers Cross take the B4362 west for Shobdon and Presteigne, the

strongly advised that potential viewers do not drive vehicles up the drive but
park just off the main road. Do not enter the house or outbuildings under any
circumstances.
**Health & Safety**
