The Land and Outbuildings

The Land

Surrounding the central holiday complex are several fields designated for livestock grazing, offering both a pastoral ambiance and privacy to each individual cottage on the premises. Interspersed among these fields is woodland, enhancing the site’s appeal and seclusion. There’s potential to enhance revenue streams by repurposing some of the pastureland for additional leisure activities. In the past, the site has hosted weddings, utilizing a designated area for marquees. Furthermore, there’s an existing permission for the construction of two additional cottages on the premises, expanding the business’s capacity. The former farm buildings have been repurposed for various uses, primarily connected to the Renewable Heat Incentive boiler system. They’re also utilized for storage purposes, housing woodchip and other goods required for the various businesses operating on-site.

Buildings

In total they comprise around 18,465 sq ft (1,715 m2) of accommodation and could easily be utilised for further storage or business uses, or additional lettings to provide income, subject to necessary approvals. Included are: Steel portal frame buildings, under cement fibre sheeted roof partly used for garaging adjacent the Bedwgwilym farmhouse and further buildings formerly used for cattle now used for general goods storage. Adjacent steel portal frame building with concrete block walls which runs below the farmhouse containing HDG Bavaria 199kW boiler and associated water storage tanks and control system. Further 3 bay steel portal frame, open fronted building constructed of steel sheeted roof and walls used for implement storage Extensive area of parking and turning, used for log storage and fodder storage. Main range of farm buildings, formerly used for livestock accommodation, being 90’ x 40’ approximately, used for general storage with adjacent higher (truncated)

Renewable Energy

There are two 199kW Biomass Boilers, one provides the district heating for Bedw Barn and the Beauty Salon, laundry room, Bedwgwilym farmhouse and Bryn-y-Welon. The Biomass Boiler runs on woodchip, sourced from local woods. The second Biomass boiler has a drying floor adjacent and dries woodchip for the business. Both boilers benefit from substantial Feed in Tariff payments - further details are available. The Wind Turbine provides 10kW of electricity, helping to reduce energy cost to all properties (Installed in 2014) with Feed in Tariff. Solar Photovoltaic panels which provide 10kW of electricity, to again reduce costs to all properties (Installed in 2021).

Investment Potential

This is a substantial and profitable diversified business which has been developed and run by the vendors and would make an excellent business investment for the right buyer to add to their own business, or else diversify into an on-trend business which is benefitting from staycations and the move from holidaying abroad to reduce emissions, and benefitting from its situation in glorious Welsh countryside.
