EXTERNALLY

The property is approached over a long track of approx ½ mile. This leads up to the side of the house and round into the yard. There is plenty of parking and turning for cars and machinery.

To the rear of the house there is a small but sheltered garden, laid to lawn. This provides plenty of space to sit out and enjoy the environment. To the front of the house is the yard. The property lies on the route of an old Roman road which is still very clearly in evidence to the rear.

The Buildings

The buildings are set around a yard close to the house and include:

Large OPEN BARN providing storage or shelter for animals, 17m x 6.1m (55’ x 30’)

LEAN-TO to rear of barn 5.8m x 4.3m (19’ x 14’)

DUTCH BARN at right angles to and attached to the open barn 7.9m x 8m (26’ x 26’4)

A corrugated building consisting of :

GARAGE 5.5m x 5.5m (18’ x 18’)
WOOD SHED / HAY STORE 8.9m x 5.7m (30’ x 18’9)
WORKSHOP with power and water connected 8m x 7.1m (26’ x 23’3)
Further BARN of stone and steel construction 5.9m x 4.35m (19’4 x 14’3). This currently houses 3 kennels. The barn is built utilising the walls of what was probably the original cottage. Only part of the length has been re-roofed to form the barn. The barn could be extended if required.

The Land

The land surrounds the house and yard and unusually is virtually all flat. It is all down to pasture.

The land is divided into a number of enclosures. A large shelter belt has been planted on two sides of the land, this has been carried out under a grant, and consists of a 10m wide strip planted up with indigenous species. There has also been re-fencing work carried out under the same scheme.

In total, the land extends to some 60 acres.

At present, the owner lets out a large proportion of the land. The land is also in the Tir Gofal scheme run by the Welsh Assembly. Together, these two bring in approx £5000 per annum.

SERVICES

Mains electricity is connected. Private water and drainage.
