Farm for sale in Bancyffordd, Llandysul SA44

A 30.81 acre Smallholding with the added benefit of three separate living units, (two being a barn conversion and the other described as a ‘Gentleman’s Residence’) and one of them with planning consent as a Holiday Let Cottage, and set on the yard of a former larger farm, but still used for cattle rearing, with all units providing scope for various improvement works. The Land which surrounds the Homestead is a mixture of clean grazable/croppable pastures and balance of mainly mature woodland/rough grazing, and suited for agricultural/equestrian/amenity purposes. The Holding is suited for either multi-generational living or investment purposes, and conveniently located to the Cardigan Bay Coastline at Aberporth/Llangrannog/New Quay.

As previously noted, the property benefits from having three dwellings, two of which are free from any occupancy restrictions. All of these are of traditional stone/slate construction and all provide scope for various upgrading/finishing works if so desired for multi-generational purposes/holiday let etc.

The outbuildings are currently suited for either agricultural/equestrian purposes and the usable land is used for grazing/cropping together with the areas of mature woodland. The Bridleway runs down through the yard, along the hardcore/grassed track and then turns down in a Southerly direction along one side of the wooded areas.

The Main Dwelling – Brookfield House, is set in its own plot at the bottom of the yard, and as noted, is a former Gentleman’s residence, and was the home to the doctor that served the former Bronwydd Estate.
