Trapp, Near Llandeilo, Carmarthenshire, SA19

Hengrofft
Hengrofft presents an opportunity to own an extraordinary piece of the Bannau Brycheiniog
national park, situated five miles south of Landeilo and twelve miles from the M4 connection.

Extending to approximately 183 acres (gross), the farm comprises productive grassland sensitively farmed by the past three generations of the current occupiers. The farm is accessed via a sweeping drive leading through cattle grazing pasture and to a charming set of traditional
buildings. The modern agricultural buildings are usefully separated from the house and yard. The
private farm track continues up through specimen broadleaf trees and productive mowing fields
and eventually to a gate onto the renowned Black Mountain range, on which the farm has
common hill grazing rights.

The Land
The holding extends to approximately 183 acres in total, of which approximately 156 acres of land
is identified as grassland and the remainder consisting of the farmstead, tracks and trees.
The fields have supported a mixed grazing system, allowing cattle to graze for an extended season thanks to the favourable properties of the soil. These are freely draining slightly acid loamy soils, draining through a network of ditches into the Afon Cennan at the base of the farm.

In addition to the grassland, the holding includes a number of wooded areas which provide shelter
and shade to the grassland but also particularly special settings to enjoy spectacular vistas of the
protected limestone valley and the rolling landscape beyond. These areas should align well with
future agricultural support scheme payment options such as the management of existing
woodland and natural habitat (subject to eligibility and scheme criteria).

The land is subject to Public Footpath 44/055/1.

House
The farmhouse is of local stone construction and of a symmetrical layout with three good sized
bedrooms on the first floor, two reception rooms to ground floor and kitchen and bathroom to
the rear elevation of the property. The house offers an attractive outdoor patio area and garden
to the rear and raised lawn area on limewashed retaining wall to the front.

The property is heated by an oil-fired central heating system. A coal fired aga provides
supplementary heating in the kitchen and hot water.

The house is double glazed throughout and enjoys wonderfully picturesque views across the yard
and its lower pastures along the valley.

Services
Mains electricity (single phase) is connected to the property. The farm has a private water
supply from a number of springs and holding tanks which serves the land buildings and farmhouse. The farmhouse is connected to a septic tank with field soakaway.

Location
The farm is situated to the south east of the town of Llandielo (5 miles). From Llandeilo town
centre, head south-east via the A483 over the River Tywi into Ffairfach. At the cross road traffic
lights in Ffairfach turn left (signposted for Trapp / Bethlehem) and pass under the railway
bridge. Immediately afterwards turn right onto the road marked "Trapp." Follow this road
through the hamlet of Trapp. Take the left turn (just before the bridge) signposted Gwynfe and
Castell Carreg Cennen and continue up the lane for approximately three-quarters of a mile.
