INTRODUCTION AND SITUATION:

Located in the heart of South Ceredigion’s renowned farming region, the area is well-known for its excellent grass-growing conditions and strong reputation for livestock and dairy production, with convenient access to local agricultural markets.

.

The farmstead features a substantial five-bedroom traditional farmhouse together with an adjoining self-contained two-bedroom cottage. A well-maintained range of both modern and traditional outbuildings complement the property, alongside productive grassland extending to approximately 131 acres.

.

Conveniently positioned just 1.1 miles from the sought-after market town of Llandysul, Tanycoed Farm sits close to the county border of Ceredigion and Carmarthenshire. Llandysul offers a good selection of local amenities including shops, cafés, primary and secondary schools, public houses, and a doctor’s surgery. The farm also benefits from excellent road connections via the council-maintained A486, allowing easy access to nearby towns such as Newcastle Emlyn (9 miles), Lampeter (13 miles), and Carmarthen (15 miles).

THE FARMHOUSE:

Tanycoed Farmhouse is an attractive semi-detached residence of stone and rendered construction, benefiting from predominantly uPVC double glazing. Centrally positioned within the farmstead and surrounded by the majority of the holding, the property offers an excellent opportunity for sympathetic modernisation. Purchasers have the scope to update the farmhouse to their own tastes while preserving its charming original features, including exposed timber beams and characterful stone fireplaces. The accommodation is generously proportioned, comprising five bedrooms; four of which are doubles on the first floor, alongside two reception rooms, a kitchen, and a utility room on the ground floor, creating a flexible and welcoming layout ideal for family living.

Y BWTHYN:

Y Bwthyn, situated adjoining Tanycoed Farmhouse, is a semi-detached two-bedroom cottage of stone construction, benefiting from uPVC double glazing throughout. The cottage offers a wealth of possibilities for the holding, including multi-generational living, rental income, or accommodation for farm workers. Although requiring some modernisation, it provides an excellent opportunity for purchasers to refurbish the property to their own tastes. The accommodation is arranged over three levels, comprising two double bedrooms on the first floor, a kitchen and bathroom on the ground floor, and a spacious living room on the lower ground floor. Externally, the cottage enjoys a rear garden laid to lawn with mature shrub borders, along with a useful storage building that may offer scope for conversion, subject to the necessary consents.

FARM BUILDINGS AND YARD:

Tanycoed Farm offers a range of both traditional and modern agricultural buildings, conveniently positioned at the heart of the holding for ease of management and access. Benefiting from roadside and yard access, these outbuildings enhance the property’s functionality and productivity. They are well-suited to a variety of uses, including livestock housing, milking, and the storage of machinery and fodder. The buildings and yard are currently suited to a dairy enterprise but could easily be adapted to support a wide range of livestock operations.

THE LAND:

Tanycoed Farm comprises an extensive and productive dairy holding extending to approximately 131 acres (53.01 hectares) of agricultural land, laid predominantly to high-quality grassland. The land is arranged in convenient, well-shaped parcels that lend themselves to efficient management, grazing rotation and fodder production. Each parcel is clearly defined, enclosed by a combination of mature hedgerows and stockproof fencing, contributing to excellent handling conditions for livestock. The holding also enjoys the significant advantage of the River Teifi forming a natural boundary along the north-western edge, offering both landscape appeal and reliable natural water sources.

.

The farm benefits from excellent access and infrastructure, with the A486 council-maintained road running through the holding and providing direct access to a substantial proportion of the fields. Further internal accessibility is ensured via a network of private gravel tracks that weave through several parcels, linking back to the main farmstead and enabling machinery and livestock movement throughout the year.

.

The land varies between approximately 124 metres and 47 metres above sea level, creating a predominantly level to gently undulating landscape well-suited to grazing and mechanised operations. Areas situated close to the A486 include some steeper gradients, offering variety in aspect and land use. According to the Agricultural Land Classification Map (Wales), the soils are categorised as Grade 3a to Grade 4, known for being fertile, freely draining and highly productive. These soil types are primarily suited to grassland but could, subject to the relevant consents, support a broader range of fodder crops or arable rotations. The land is currently utilised for livestock grazing and annual silage cropping, demonstrating its reliability and versatility for a wide range of agricultural enterprises.

.

Water availability across the holding is excellent, with multiple natural water sources stemming from the River Teifi, in addition to a series of strategically placed mains-fed water troughs. This provides both security and flexibility for livestock management.

.

Beyond its agricultural value, Tanycoed Farm presents significant potential for environmental, biodiversity and natural capital opportunities. The landscape includes permanent pasture, mature broadleaf trees, pockets of scrubland, established hedgerows, and natural water features. These elements contribute to a rich and diverse habitat that supports a wide range of flora and fauna. The varied topography and existing ecological features may offer potential for future environmental schemes, carbon sequestration programmes, or other regenerative and nature-based initiatives. Such opportunities could provide additional income streams or long-term capital enhancement, making the holding attractive not only to farmers but also to buyers seeking environmental investment potential.
