Pencyrn Farm - Whole

Pencyrn Farm is an attractive small holding comprising typical late 19th century detached farmhouse in need of substantial improvement throughout together with a stone built former cowshed, former piggery as well as a further range of stone and breeze block sheds and outbuildings. Set in just over 45 acres of long term pasture land, this unique smallholding offers an abundance of potential. Pencyrn Farm was previously a working farm until the early 1980s with the farm house offering accommodation briefly comprising; entrance porch, drawing room, kitchen, dairy, sitting room, living room and rear porch to the ground floor. There are stairs leading out from the drawing room to a lower first floor level where the bathroom is situated and further stairs to five bedrooms, four to the front of the property and one to the rear. The land surrounding is of good quality pasture and is free draining. Whilst the land has not been farmed for some time the quality of the under soil is good and could easily be restored to create long term pasture relatively easily. There are a range of outbuildings of various construction types which are in need of works but do provide opportunity to provide garages, stabling or something similar.
