Following the successful sale of two residential development sites in Gorseinon and a four-acre former barracks in the Rhondda, Cooke & Arkwright has been instructed by the Reserve Forces & Cadets Association for Wales to market its Drill Hall in Knighton.

The property extends to 4,707 sq ft and is situated in the centre of the small market town close to public parking. It provides an excellent meeting hall with a variety of potential opportunities and comprises a large hall, several offices, storage space and disabled facilities. It is being offered for sale freehold with vacant possession.

Jeremy Symons, Director at Cooke & Arkwright who is marketing the property comments, “This is a unique opportunity to purchase a well-known building within the town and which has acted as a focal point for many years. We have received strong interest locally and anticipate moving forward towards a sale in the near future.”

With a thriving livestock market, Knighton in Powys straddles each side of the border between Wales and England, alongside the Offa’s Dyke National Trail and Glyndwr’s Way in the Marches countryside. The town provides accommodation including an award-winning hotel, bed & breakfasts and self catering cottages, and offers many cycling and walking routes. It can also be accessed by the Heart of Wales railway line via the town’s railway station, which is actually located in Shropshire, England.

I have worked with Jeremy Symons over the past three years successfully leasing and buying property in support of my business. I continue to be very pleased with his knowledge of the market and expertise. Our relationship over this time has resulted in acquiring 20,000 sq ft at Capital Business Park in Cardiff, leasing 11,000 sq ft at Southpoint, and subsequently leasing an initial 42,000 sq ft at Parc Bedwas, followed by a succession of expansions of a further 11,000 and then 47,000 sq ft, enabling us to centralise all of our operations at Parc Bedwas in a single 100,000 sq ft facility. The acquisitions were completed at the perfect time for tenant purposes and the rent fixed throughout the term at very economical rates. A job well done.
