The farmhouse enjoys a peaceful and private position, set a short distance from the main farmstead and conveniently accessed directly from the holding's hardstanding track.

To the front, a generous parking area provides ample space for multiple vehicles.

Land-
This expansive 1,190 acre holding presents a rare opportunity to acquire a highly successful livestock enterprise with clear potential for diversification into conservation or leisure pursuits. The land comprises a rich mosaic of pasture, woodland, and moorland, with selected areas designated as a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI), reflecting its environmental significance.

The holding occupies an elevated position, with the farmstead situated at approximately 200 metres above sea level. Its highest points-Cipyn Du, Tarren Bwlch Gwyn, and Tarren y Gesail-rise to around 470 metres, offering dramatic upland scenery. The unimproved mountain land along the western boundary benefits from convenient access via the Dylife Road.

Although classified as Grade 4 and 5 agricultural land, the majority of the lower enclosures have been extensively improved and are now laid to clean permanent pasture. The in bye fields are well suited to silage and hay production, further enhancing the holding's versatility.

The land is broken down to the following classes:
* c. 252 acres of Productive Pastureland
* c. 199 acres of Ffriddland
* c. 695 acres of Rough Grazing and Enclosed Mountain Land
* c. 44 acres of Woodland

The land has been carefully and consistently managed and is in excellent heart. Boundaries are defined by a combination of well maintained stock fencing and mature hedgerows, and the entire holding is ring fenced. A strategically positioned internal track provides practical access to the more distant enclosures, supporting efficient day to day management. A generous natural water supply runs throughout the property, and a 33kV electricity line crosses the land.
