Description: The property is a typical Welsh family upland stock farm, with the homestead lying at around 500', and the land's highest point reaching some 700' above sea level. The hardcore track is owned from the entrance, but with a neighbouring farm having access to its land along the first stretch. The homestead is located near to the centre of the holding, and is located in a secluded and quite sheltered location. The stone and slate 2 storey house has been kept in good order, and provides the potential for various modernisation purposes, if so desired. Two stone and part block ranges of outbuildings flank the house on both sides, and these provide the potential for conversion if so desired (subject to consents). Other ancillary outbuildings provide ample storage for fodder/livestock/machinery, with scope for replacement and erection of further buildings if desired. The land comprises of a number of small and larger, healthy enclosures and easily manageable as a one man unit.

The detached house stands at the head of the yard dressed in attractive stone, and comprises of original double fronted building with added on extension to one side.
