Description - South Headborough comprises a parcel of highly productive arable and pasture land, together with a useful range of adaptable buildings, extending in total to 100 acres or thereabouts, that has most recently been used for grazing and cropping. Historically the land has been cultivated for cereal and vegetables.

The farmstead is approached over a private compacted stone lane that provides excellent access to the fields, with the buildings being located in a private setting on the eastern side of the holding. The farmstead includes an attractive pond that has plenty of conservation and amenity appeal, together with the remains of the original farmhouse. There are two traditionally constructed outbuildings that have the benefit of planning consent for conversion to residential properties under reference 22/0262/PA, and the completed project will no doubt be a most desirable residential element to compliment that agricultural land.

The Traditionally Constructed Buildings - These have the benefit of planning consent for conversion to two appealing residences, affording the potential to create a most attractive homestead with accommodation for two generations of the same family or perhaps as a main residence and letting cottage.

Drawings of the redevelopment proposals are attached, with further details available from the planning portal of Pembrokeshire County Council's website under planning reference 22/0262/PA.

The Land - A plan of the Land is attached for identification purposes only.

The Land extends to 100 acres or thereabouts and is a versatile block of predominantly level, south-facing pasture land, divided by fencing and natural hedgerows into useful sized, easily worked enclosures, that are all conveniently located to the farmstead or access lane, with internal gates at strategic points that allows for livestock or machinery to be easily moved around the holding. The Land is typical of farmland in this area, being highly productive early land, enjoying a mild climate and having a good depth of top-soil and being relatively free-draining. In the past, the farm has been used for a variety of arable crops and there are two irrigation ponds which, along with an area of moorland, provide land and features that offer an opportunity for a conservation or habitat project to compliment the agricultural use of the land.

The South facing aspect of South Headborough may also be of interest to parties interested in exploring the potential for renewable energy, subject to the necessary consents being obtained as the present owners have been approached by a provider considering such a project.
