A Grade II-listed hotel that collapsed into administration last year is now set for auction.
The Knighton Hotel on Broad Street in Knighton, had been owned by mansion developers Paul and Rowena Williams.
They sold the hotel in the spring of 2018 to Keith Harvey Partridge's Coast2Coast brand to help fund the redevelopment of Plas Glynllifon mansion house near Caernarfon in North Wales.
But it immediately closed and went into administration in November of that year.
The mansion redevelopment in North Wales - where they had wanted to create a luxury hotel - has also ground to a halt.
Now the Knighton Hotel - built in 1867 - will go under the hammer with a guide price of £310,000 at an auction at Villa Park on Wednesday October 23.
Ian Tudor, managing director of Bond Wolfe Auctions, said: “This is a spacious, Grade II-listed property that would be suitable to continue as a hotel, restaurant and wedding venue, or it could be developed for a variety of alternative uses including residential, subject to planning and listed building consents.
“It really is a joy to tour this building, with its extensive lounge areas, a bar, a restaurant for approximately 80 covers, a striking function room for approximately 200 covers, 16 en suite bedrooms and a good-sized duplex flat with its own entrance."

Mr Tudor added: “This is a remarkable lot that will catch the eye of potential owners with either its original use or a completely new life in mind, and we expect some strong bidding.”
The Knighton Hotel is just one of 131 lots going under the hammer in Bond Wolfe Auctions’ next sale on Wednesday 23 October at 10.30am at the regular venue of the Holte Suite at Aston Villa FC.
