The property is situated at the end of a long driveway, in a secluded position surrounded by its own land, which altogether amounts to approximately 96.78 acres. The accommodation is generous in size with lots of character, offering 7 bedrooms, 5 reception rooms and 4 bathrooms, making this an ideal home for a large family. Part of the upstairs has been utilised as a self-contained 2 bedroom flat with an external independent staircase for access, ideal for extended family and friends to use and have their own space. There is a lovely mature large garden with sunny patio, vegetable patch, extensive lawns and pergola with colourful scented wisteria and clematis climbing plants. To the far side of the house is a good size yard with a range of useful outbuildings to include a traditional stone barn ripe for conversion (subject to planning) and much larger steel framed agricultural sheds, ideal for livestock, machinery and general storage.

There is a further small strip of land which is leased to the farm on a peppercorn rent, from a local Laugharne Corporation. The seller understands the lease can continue with a new owner if desired. The land amounts to approximately 5 acres of woodland on the northern boundary and includes a boating slipway onto the estuary water.
