3 Acre Smallholding
BANCFFOSFELEN,Carmarthenshire

SITUATION AND DESCRIPTION:

The property is situated on the periphery of the village of Bancffosfelen within a scenic semi-rural area and there are outstanding uninterrupted views over open countryside from all aspects of the property yet it is also within 1.5mls distance of the village of Pontyberem where local facilities include retail shops, primary school, medical centre, public houses and places of worship.

The village of Bancffosfelen is approx. 9mls south of the town of Carmarthen and approx. 6mls distance from the expanding centre of Cross Hands where wider range of facilities are available and where there are several multi-national superstores.

At Cross Hands there is ease of access on to the A48/M4 dual carriageway and directly from the property there are good road links to the towns of Carmarthen (approx. 9mls), Llanelli (approx. 9mls), Ammanford (approx.13mls) and to the City of Swansea (approx.24mls).

The property is a smallholding including superb and spacious detached house with part of the original farmhouse having been retained and incorporated within the design of this superior detached country residence of character which has internal floor area of approximately 3,800sq.ft and together with modern stable block and land extending to approximately 3 acres and abuts the gardens which surround the main residence.

The main residence is well set back from the country road with gated entrance to chipping surfaced driveway which extends to large hardstanding area directly to the front of the main residence and which also provides access to Integral Double Garage. There are part landscaped gardens to the front of the main residence with a large paved patio area and pathways lead around the side to surrounding gardens.

The vendors have carried out an excavation to the rear of the main residence to provide an open air swimming pool and although purchasers may wish to continue with the pool, the vendors are prepared to close the excavation if so desired by the purchasers.

As already mentioned, there are outstanding and uninterrupted countryside views from all aspects of the property and there are panoramic views from the front balcony over the surrounding countryside and the Gwendraeth Valley.
.
The vendors are reluctantly marketing this property due to the unexpected necessity for relocation to another part of the country. There are still some general building works to be completed to the main residence but the vendors are agreeable to completing these works or alternatively, the property can be sold without completion of these works if the purchasers so desire.
