For Sale By Private Treaty -

A most desirable country residence comprising a modernised 5/6 bedroomed farmhouse together with a tasteful 4 bedroomed barn conversion, a barn suitable for conversation together with 12 acres of land.



This property has one of the finest panoramic views over Cardigan Bay and is well worthy of inspection. Pen Y Castell is approached via a quiet adopted road and is within 2 miles of Llanrhystud which provides for a good range of amenities and access to the main A487 Coastal trunk road. Aberystwyth is but 10 miles to the North and the Georgian Harbour town of Aberaeron is a similar distance to the South. Both the aforementioned towns are popular tourist attractions with a good range of facilities to include secondary schools. Pen Y Castell Farm enjoys an elevated position with uninterrupted views over cardigan bay and inland towards Plynmlimon and seldom does this type of property become available on the market.

The barn is a successful holiday let and attains a high occupancy rate (over 182 days) to qualify for business rates achieving good income but also unrestricted use as a separate dwelling if preferred. An excellent set up for multigenerational living etc. Another traditional stone barn on the homestead (see photograph) is ripe for conversion subject to obtaining the necessary consents.

The land which amounts to 11.3 acres is highlighted in red on the attached plan. The land borders the adopted road on the Southern boundary and is suitable and accessible for diversification such as camping, shepherd huts/pods or for horticultural, equestrian or agricultural use. The property also benefits from it's own wildlife conservation lake to the front.
