Lampeter, Carmarthenshire. SA48 8EA

A 20 acre secluded Smallholding, with up to 3 dwellings - large main house with adaptability for up to 10 bedrooms if so desired, 3 bedroom Swiss style dormer bungalow and 2 bedroom Timber Frame Chalet (in need of attention/possible replacement) together with outbuildings used for storage purposes and set in spacious grounds with mature pastures and woodland, and suited for possible Guest House/Outdoor Pursuits Centre etc, (subject to necessary consents).The House is approached via a hardcore shared access track some ½ mile long, and with good views of open countryside and beyond to the fore of the main residence, within easy driving distance of the local market and University towns of Aberaeron and Lampeter, and known as:
DIRECTIONS
On leaving Lampeter due South, on the A482 towards Llandovery, turn right after the bridge onto the A485 for Llanybydder/Carmarthen. Carry on for some ½ mile until you'll see the Church on the right- hand side. Turn left opposite signposted for Parc y Rhos. Carry along this road for some 1.3 miles, crossing one stone bridge, then going through a crossroads further on, and after a second stone bridge, you'll bear left, and the entrance track will be immediately on the left-hand side with names of the 4 properties. Caeshedrem will be the end property along this track (which does narrow in some areas, and some erosion along parts of it is evident, so care to be taken when driving along it).

DESCRIPTION
The property is an upland 20 acre Smallholding with a mixture of grazable and more overgrown pastures and mature woodland, with the Homestead set on the approach to the property, with sizable level garden area lying to its fore, and access dividing off to both the main dwelling and dormer bungalow. The Main House has been extended over the years on both sides, and one side could be used as a self-contained disabled unit annexe if so desired. The dwelling had prior to the current owners been used as a home for residents with disabilities. Potential buyers could consider this property either for single home, multi-generational living, guest house or business / B&B opportunity. The house does offer the added benefit of the bungalow for owner's/manager's purposes or as a separate Let. The Timber Chalet bungalow is in need of major renovation works or even replacing with a similar structure/lodge type unit if desired (subject to any necessary consents), but again would provide extra accommodation if so desired.

The Hardcore Track leads up to the boundary of Caeshedrem, with part worn tarmac drive thereon leading up to the curtilage of the main house. (The drive also branches off and takes you over to the Bungalow) and there is a large tarmac base parking area bounding with the large lawned area.

Externally
Grassed area around the building on two aspects and tarmac base off road parking area. Set away is a 24' x 12' mainly Corrugated Iron Clad (with part rear block wall) single Garage with Lean-tos of 20' x 10' adjoining. Access to the stream behind this structure.

The Land lies mainly behind the Homestead (due South), but with one enclosure on the left-hand side of the drive, and one further bounding with the separate drive leading up to the Bungalow. Both down to mature pasture, level, but with areas of rush present.

As noted, the field where the polytunnel is larger and again level, and subject to some drainage and rejuvenation works, could provide a decent field for grazing of livestock/equines. The location of the polytunnel could provide a potential site for the erection of a small shed/stable block.

The field behind the House is slightly more wettish, and has established areas of overgrowth/scrub, but again with hard work and perseverance, could be returned into a more usable enclosure.

The land beyond this area appears from our aerial photos to be a mixture of established mature woodland and overgrown pasture fields, with the small river running down along the Eastern aspect together with a drainage ditch running along the centre of the block, before joining up with the river nearer to the Homestead. The land appears level, and clearance works would be needed to gain access onto it, but again it is down to individual tastes, and could be suitable for any future Welsh Government environmental Scheme/s that may be introduced within their Sustainable Farming Scheme starting in 2026 (tbc).

IACS
We would assume that the land is not registered for this purpose. Prospective purchasers to satisfy themselves to for future eligibility of registration.
