Parking and Courtyard Area

To the front of the farmhouse is a substantial courtyard-style parking area providing ample space for numerous vehicles, agricultural machinery or visitor parking. The area is attractively enclosed by the traditional stone barns, natural stone boundary walling and the farmhouse itself, creating a sheltered and characterful setting that enhances the overall appeal of the farmstead.

THE LAND

Pencaerau Mawr extends to approximately 52.3 acres (21.17 hectares) of productive agricultural land, arranged predominantly within a convenient ring fence surrounding the farmstead. The holding comprises mainly permanent pasture together with an attractive parcel of mature woodland. The land is divided into manageable enclosures bounded by mature hedgerows and stockproof fencing, making it well suited to grazing, fodder production and general livestock management. Parts of the holding benefit from a natural water supply.

.

The holding lies between approximately 115 metres and 189 metres above sea level, with land ranging from gently sloping to more level pasture. The varying topography offers versatility for a range of agricultural uses, whilst also enjoying attractive outlooks across the surrounding countryside. According to the Agricultural Land Classification Map (Wales), the land is classified as predominantly Grade 4, comprising freely draining loamy soils principally suited to grassland and fodder cropping. Currently utilised for equestrian purposes, the land is equally well suited to livestock grazing, hay and silage production, or wider mixed agricultural and environmental enterprises, demonstrating the overall versatility and productivity of the holding.

.

The holding benefits from excellent accessibility, with frontage onto a council-maintained road providing convenient direct access to the farmhouse, traditional outbuildings and a number of the field enclosures. The arrangement of the land and buildings provides a well-connected and easily accessible holding suited to a range of agricultural and rural uses.

.

Beyond its agricultural appeal, Pencaerau Mawr also presents significant environmental and natural capital potential. The holding incorporates a diverse mix of permanent pasture, mature broadleaf trees, established hedgerows, areas of scrubland and natural water features, all of which contribute to an attractive and ecologically varied landscape supporting a wide range of wildlife and habitats.

.

The combination of existing environmental features and varied topography may offer future opportunities for biodiversity enhancement, habitat creation, carbon sequestration schemes and wider regenerative land management initiatives. Such potential may provide purchasers with opportunities for participation in sustainable land management schemes, alternative income streams and long-term capital enhancement.

OUTBUILDINGS AND YARD

Pencaerau Mawr 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, equestrian and storage purposes. The buildings and yard are currently utilised as equestrian uses but could easily be adapted to support a wide range of livestock operations. Briefly the outbuildings and yard comprise of the following:

Garden

To the rear of the farmhouse is a beautifully maintained garden, mainly laid to lawn and enhanced by a wide variety of mature shrubs and established planting. The grounds are home to over 100 mature fruit trees, producing an abundant supply of soft fruit throughout the summer months. Beyond this lies a further orchard with an additional 100 or more fruit trees. Enjoying delightful views across the surrounding countryside, the garden offers an excellent space for family life, outdoor entertaining, and relaxation. A covered patio area adjoining the rear elevation offers an excellent outdoor seating and dining space, ideally suited for entertaining, relaxation and enjoying the rural setting throughout the year.
