An attractive smallholding of about 23 acres with a large farmhouse, indoor heated swimming pool and numerous modern outbuildings suiting a variety of uses.

Description

Nestled within the picturesque countryside on the edge of the village of Felindre, a truly remarkable 23-acre smallholding that offers an idyllic retreat. As you meander down the tree-lined driveway, you are immediately enveloped by a sense of tranquillity and natural beauty that permeates the entire property.

This three bedroom farmhouse which dates back to 1759 offers a wealth of original features, character and charm. The property boasts an array of outbuildings that add both charm and character. The property offers two outbuildings that were used as showrooms, offering a unique opportunity to run your own business right on your own doorstep. Indulge in the luxury of an indoor swimming pool, where you can enjoy a refreshing swim regardless of the season.

For the eco-conscious homeowner, Penfedy Farm is equipped with biomass central heating, a sustainable and efficient heating system, benefiting from the RHI scheme with approximately 11-12 years left to run (as at 2024), this generates and heats the farm house, swimming pool and outbuildings.

This exceptional property is ideally located, offering a perfect balance between seclusion and convenience. While enjoying this setting, you are just a short drive away from local amenities and excellent links for the M4 Motorway and good access to Swansea and Carmarthen.

There are seven individual fields that surround the farmhouse and outbuildings that are fenced and gated with access to water troughs. This allows the owner to graze individual fields and keep fields closed for hay and silage making. There is a woodland and other wooded areas, together with a river boundary providing fresh water supply for animals. There are many mature trees offering habitat for much wildlife and also a wood supply for the household.
