GENERAL REMARKS

The sale of Millbanks offer a rare opportunity to purchase a small farm in a pleasant rural setting that lies within easy reach of both Haverfordwest and Milford Haven. Situated at the end of a lane that also provides access to nearby properties. This is a traditional Pembrokeshire farmstead that includes a variety of buildings that may suit a variety of uses subject to any necessary planning consents being obtained. The farmhouse does now require updating but enjoys a most pleasant aspect and no doubt could be modernised to offer a most comfortable family home. The farm is located in an area of highly productive farmland and is suitable for grazing and cropping with woodland areas around the stream boundary providing natural shelter. We believe that the property may be eligible for an improvement grant or similar and that the land may be eligible for government subsidiaries. Interested parties should make their own enquiries.
