Almost hidden behind the hedge in Castle Road is White House. Probably built in the 18th century but incorporating parts of an earlier building to the rear which is within the castle bailey. Constructed of roughcast rendered brick under a slate roof. Under the rear garden is a late 16th or early 17th century barrel-vaulted undercroft. Listed, grade II, with details at: https://cadwpublic-api.azurewebsites.net/reports/listedbuilding/FullReport?lang=&id=8975 Knighton is a somewhat remote market town gaining its charter in 1203. It is sited on the River Teme some 60 miles north of Cardiff. It lies on the Welsh/English border, with a small part in Shropshire, including its railway station. Originally an Anglo-Saxon settlement, Knighton is located on Offa's Dyke, the ancient earthwork that divided the two countries. It later became a Norman defensive border town.
