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.

Mansford has expanded its investment portfolio over the last few years. Over this time Andrew West has provided us with a full rating valuation service which has involved giving a view on liabilities prior to acquisitions, as well as conducting negotiations with Valuation Officers on our UK estate. The portfolio includes a wide range of properties from shops, offices and pubs to major leisure schemes. He has been particularly successful in mitigating our liabilities to empty property rate, which has been an issue on acquisition prior to implementing our development and letting strategy. I have no hesitation in recommending Andrew's expertise in rating valuation for all property types. The profile of property within his portfolio and the successes achieved are testament to his position as an extremely accomplished rating practitioner.
