A fine example of a west Carmarthenshire stock farm, occupying a delightful rural setting and including an appealing residence that offers flexible accommodation that perhaps is suitable for two generations of the same family. Set in stunning grounds and enjoying a very pleasant aspect and including traditionally constructed farm buildings, that may have conversion potential, subject to the necessary Planning Consents being obtained and extending to 130 acres or thereabouts in total. This is a property that requires personal inspection in order to be fully appreciated. Viewing is highly recommended. N.B OFFERS ON THE LAND WOULD ALSO BE CONSIDERED PRIOR TO THE SALE OF THE HOUSE.
Castell Mawr occupies a pleasant and private rural setting in the west Carmarthenshire countryside in a location that will no doubt appeal to those looking for a character home that whilst in a countryside location, lies within easy car driving distance of all the major towns of the area, being within some 10 miles or so of the large town of Carmarthen, which as the principal administrative centre of Carmarthenshire benefits from an extensive range of facilities and amenities and has transport links to the M4 etc. The smaller towns of St. Clears, Crymych, Newcastle Emlyn and Cardigan, which between them provide an excellent range of local services are also within easy reach, as are several villages.
Situation: - Castell Mawr occupies a pleasant and private rural setting in the west Carmarthenshire countryside in a location that will no doubt appeal to those looking for a character home in a countryside location that lies within easy driving distance of all the major towns of the area, being within some 10 miles or so of the large town of Carmarthen, which as the principal administrative centre of Carmarthenshire benefits from an extensive range of facilities and amenities and has transport links to the M4 etc. The smaller towns of St. Clears, Crymych, Newcastle Emlyn and Cardigan, which between them provide an excellent range of local services, are also within easy reach, as are several villages.
Directions: - From Carmarthen take the A40 dual carriageway west, turn off the dual carriageway onto the B4298 roadway to Meidrim (this route crosses the dual carriageway). Continue on this road to Meidrim itself, cross over the bridge and take the turning right immediately behind the ‘Fountain Inn’. Continue on this road for approximately 5½ miles or so and after passing ‘Madox Farm' a layby will be seen on the right hand side with an ‘Enfys’ sign, turn left. Continue to the end of this lane and take the next left and continue for about a mile or so and the farmhouse will be on the left hand side. A location plan is attached. The property is located at postcode SA33 6DX.
Description: - Castell Mawr briefly comprises a highly productive stock farm in a pleasant rural setting, including a useful range of buildings and attractive farmhouse, which enjoys a very pleasant aspect.
The farmhouse enjoys a delightful aspect, with front bedrooms enjoying views over the grounds to the rolling west Carmarthenshire countryside in the distance. The residence is traditionally constructed and benefits from full oil fired central heating and uPVC double glazing. It boasts a wealth of character features and offers flexible accommodation that we feel could well be adapted to offer a main residence, together with an annexe if required, and therefore is suitable for two generations of the same family, or even for Bed and Breakfast purposes etc.
Two of the five bedrooms have en-suite facilities with dressing areas and there are log burners in both principal reception rooms, stripped pine doors and in several rooms the original tongue and grove partition walls are still apparent. The kitchen has been extended in a sun room style and overlooks the kitchen garden and has a very contemporary feel. The farmhouse itself stands in delightful grounds that include an attractive patio area to the fore, which is the ideal location from which to enjoy the rural views.
The residential part of this property includes two large traditionally constructed farm buildings, that may well have potential for conversion to further accommodation, subject to the necessary Planning Consents being obtained, but the farm also benefits from a useful range of buildings suitable for livestock production. The land extends to 130 acres or thereabouts in total, divided by a minor roadway, but being suitable for grazing or indeed arable purposes:

Externally: - The gardens and grounds are a particularly attractive feature including several domestic outbuildings. A rear porch off the kitchen has doors that open to the front patio and to the kitchen garden to the side. A door also leads to a:
Tack Room: - 5.51m x 3.38m (18'1 x 11'1) - This is a particularly useful area having a loft over and including base storage cupboards with a sink unit and being ideally suited as an area for freezers or a boot room etc.
Adjoining the house is a:
Garage: - 5.56m x 3.63m (18'3 x 11'11) - With up and over door with log shed off this being 18’3” x 12’11” having two up and over doors. There is a lawn to the rear and to the side is a good sized kitchen garden with several raised beds and fruit trees. There is a useful building in this area (35’ x 15”) of block walls under a corrugated sheet roof that could be used for a variety of purposes.
Immediately to the fore of the residence is an attractive patio area with shrub borders and steps leading down to lawned area – the perfect place to sit and relax!
A further building of stone walls under a slate roof is used as a garage, but could well have conversion potential.
The grounds require a personal inspection in order to be fully appreciated. The farmhouse is approached by a curved driveway that passes a pond and established shrub borders and leads to an ample car parking area and there is also the intriguing feature of a small 'secret garden'.
The Farm Buildings: - 22.86m x 6.10m (75' x 20') - The farm buildings are typical of a progressive farmstead development including traditional buildings and a range of more modern buildings. Within the lawned area to the fore of the residence are two substantial traditionally constructed former cow sheds that we feel have the potential for conversion to further accommodation - subject of course to the necessary Planning Consents being obtained. One building measures approximately 58' x 14'5" (17.68m x 4.39m) and is principally of solid stone walls under a slate roof and has a former bull pen of block walls adjoining. The building opposite is approximately 67' x 18'5 (26.52m x 5.61m).
Further buildings are predominantly set around concrete yards and there is a further access off the road and to the rear of the farmhouse leading to these buildings, which include:
Lambing Shed: 95' x 45' (28.96m x 13.72m) of steel portal framed construction with corrugated iron cladding to the elevations and a roof of similar construction and compacted earth floor.
Isolation Box: 30' x 15' (9.14m x 4.57m) of timber construction clad with corrugated iron under a similar roof and with a concrete floor.
General Purpose Shed: 58' x 45' (17.68m x 13.72m) Fronting onto a feed yard and internally divided into section being a steel portal framed with part Yorkshire board elevations under a sheet and corrugated iron clade roof and with part concrete floor.
'Atcost' Shed: 75' x 32' (22.86m x 9.75m) with concrete floor and suitable for a silage clamp or livestock housing, having a concrete floor with
Lean To: 75' x 20' (22.86m x 6.10m) of similar construction, having 40 cubicles and leading onto a yard and weeping wall slurry pit.
There is a substantial hardstanding areathat could be used for silage bales or machinery storage and a former piggery.
The Land: - A plan is attached for identification purposes only. The land is predominantly level or gently sloping good quality pasture land with very little waste and suitable for grazing, cropping or arable purposes and is all conveniently located to the farmstead, being divided by a minor road. There is excellent roadside access to the majority of the fields and the land is reasonably well fenced and gated.
Services: - Mains water and electricity are connected. Drainage from the farmhouse is to a private means and the farmhouse benefits from full oil fired central heating and is principally uPVC double glazed.
TENURE:
Freehold with vacant possession upon completion.
LOCAL AUTHORITY:
