Dolbantau, Llanfihangel-Ar-Arth, Carms. SA39 9JD

AGENT'S COMMENTS

Dolbantau (the home of alphabeds) is a well-established property being originally a substantial 19th century Woollen Mill and now comprising of 2 residential properties, the former mill and associated manufacturing buildings together with renewable/hydro energy workings to include 10KwH solar panel system and 20KwH batteries and surrounding 9 acres of land. This unique property/business opportunity, that has come for sale due to bereavement, is available to continue as a manufacturer of Beds and Mattresses, known as "alphabeds", to include the existing machinery and equipment or as a delightful location to expand/relocate an alternative light industrial business. Please note that the extensive nature of the factory space also lends itself to a variety of businesses being able to operate from the same site with the Factory being located on a mainly level site with access directly from a council roadway and the mill house and bungalow set in an elevated position above the site. The factories themselves are generally open spaces that have been partitioned to provide separate workspaces however this could easily be adapted to alternative business use. Directly in front of the properties there is a tarmac yard/parking area with easy access to all buildings for collection and deliveries and of particular note there is a second large yard suitable for turning long wheel base HGV vehicles. The whole is surrounded by 9 acres of land, a solar station and being bordered by the River Clettwr with an abstraction licence in perpetuity (subject to compliance) and a water wheel and turbine which are not operational for clean green energy which was providing payments of in the region of £20,000 per annum with the FIT agreement ending March 2030
