Exciting opportunity to purchase an old farm with development potential near the coast.

Description

Honey Corse farm was once a working farm but now offers an exciting opportunity to new owners to acquire a property with potential for other uses. The property includes a large traditional farmhouse that has been extended over the years. Set around a traditional farmyard are a collection of stone barns (including old coach and cart houses) and old agricultural sheds. These stone barns offer development potential into holiday cottages etc (stp – subject to planning) while some of the old agricultural sheds offer storage space and footprints for replacement etc. In all, the site extends to about 2.49 acres (stms – subject to measured survey).

Accommodation Ground Floor
The main house is currently let out and offers generous accommodation space for a family. The front entrance door leads into a reception hall with doors leading off to the principal reception rooms. On the right is the living room with parquet floor and a wood burning stove providing a warm focal point. On the left of the hall is the reception room, again with parquet floor and an old fireplace. A door leads off to the large dining room with tiled floor at the rear of the house with utility room off. Adjacent to the dining room is the kitchen with fitted units, door to outside and another large utility room leading off.

First Floor
Stairs rise up from the reception hall to the first floor accommodation that includes five good size bedrooms, two overlooking the front of the house, two the side and one the rear. The floor is completed by a family bathroom.

Externally
The property enjoys extensive lawned gardens and grounds at the side and rear of the house with patio areas, pretty pond, mature trees, bushes, shrubs, flower borders and raised beds. In all, the property extends to about 2.49 acres (stms).

The Outbuildings
Set around an old traditional farmyard is a large collection of old farm buildings including attractive stone barns that offer conversion potential (stp) and more modern farms sheds in various states of repair. Some offer useful storage space and could be utilised for a variety of purposes while others offer a footprint if looking to re-instate them. The vendors have had drawings made up with proposed development ideas for the site. Please ask the selling agents for further details.

Location

Honey Corse Farm is situated near the coast only about two miles from the pretty coastal castle town of Laugharne, in the historic county of Carmarthenshire.

Laugharne is famous for being the home of the renowned Welsh poet Dylan Thomas who lived in the town from 1949 until 1953. He once said of the town that “there is nowhere like it anywhere at all” and described it as “a timeless, mild, beguiling island of a town”. The town enjoys excellent fine dining in the local restaurants, pubs and cafes that has put the town on the culinary map of Wales. The town is perfect for those that enjoy the outdoors with the famous castle overlooking the estuary together with miles of scenic trails for walking and cycling.

The town is also well connected to local towns and further afield with the larger shopping town of Carmarthen and the A48 M4 link road only about 13 miles to the north-east with national railway services and fast road connections to south Wales (Swansea about 40 miles, Cardiff about 82 miles) the Severn Bridge and into England.

Heading west along the coast from the farm, the pretty coastal resort of Pendine is also only about five miles away with its renowned eight mile sandy beach, home of the world land speed record.
