TRADITIONAL FARMBUILDINGS A particular feature of Yscirfawr are the extensive stone barns which form a u-shape to the south west of the farmhouse, being well detached from it and capable of conversion to additional living space, subject to any planning consents. All of the stone barns have had extensive improvements in recent years, including complete re-roofing with slate roofs and where appropriate, new roof timbers. This has made the barns eminently convertible into more useful space. The vendors have plans drawn of the extensive accommodation that could be created. These are available for inspection when viewing. Briefly they comprise:

TRADITIONAL STONE BARN64' (19.5m) x 21' (6.4m) (externally). This has been completely re-roofed including insulation and converted to provide a first class, first floor workshop room (10.5m x 5.05m max) with power, Neria woodburning stove with warming oven, various windows and roof lights, lighting and a staircase approach - also possible to access it from the loading bay. This building is eminently convertible and has large openings which enable ample light to be made available. Across the yard is a:

FURTHER L-SHAPED STONE RANGE39'4" (11.99m) x 19'8" (6m) approx. and 39'4" (11.99m) x 19'8" (6m). Again, this has been completely re-roofed in modern materials to a good standard so that it is easily capable of being converted into two or three cottages, studios, workrooms, etc., again subject to any planning consents.

MODERN FARMBUILDINGS Most of these date from the early 1990's and include:

STEEL FRAMED GENERAL PURPOSESHED88'7" x 45'11" (27m x 14m). with central doorways suitable for through alley, further doorways on either side for cleaning out, water, power and light, part concrete block walls with Yorkshire boarding above, galvanised roof.

LEAN-TO CATTLE SHED88'7" x 26'11" (27m x 8.2m). with feed barrier with manger, concrete block walling with Yorkshire boarding, water, power and light. To the rear, these buildings open out onto open fields providing ease of management, especially for sheep in the winter.

FURTHER LEAN-TO CATTLE SHED46'7" x 23' (14.2m x 7m). (behind stone barn) with feed manger and racks, doorways to barn, sliding door access, water tanks, etc.

LOWER BARN21'6" x 17'9" (6.55m x 5.4m). plus store room 3.65m x 5m

. On the approach to the farm, there are two TRADITIONAL FRENCH BARNS in a dilapidated condition.

THE LAND Yscirfawr is considered to be one of the finest farms in the valley with some high quality meadows surrounding the farmstead, running down to the Yscirfawr river. The farm boasts a high proportion of level or gently sloping, easily managed fields, ideal for growing grass or for cultivation, although none of the farm has been ploughed in recent years. The fields are, in the main, well fenced and hedged with water supplies provided by natural spring tanks in the river. There are some small attractive areas of deciduous woodland on the farm and the riverside habitat in particular, provides an ideal opportunity for conservation and for benefits under a Glastir scheme. The upper part of the farm is ideal for sheep grazing and has a separate, little used, council road which serves it which provides an excellent access to the property if required and enabling the land to be farmed separately, or split off.

ENTITLEMENTS The vendors were claimants on part of the farm in 2013. They are happy to use their best endeavours to assist in the transfer of any benefits this might give to the purchasers.
