Description

The land at Cwmpadest Farm comprises of a productive parcel of land laid to permanent pasture and mature woodland. The property extends to approximately 99 acres, bound by livestock proof fencing and mature hedgerows with good overhead cover provided by mature trees.

THE LAND

The land comprises an extensive and productive parcel extending to approximately 99 acres of agricultural land, laid predominantly to permanent pasture, intercepted by areas of mature woodland. The land is arranged in convenient, well-shaped parcels that lend themselves to efficient management, grazing rotation and fodder production. Each parcel is clearly defined, enclosed by a combination of mature hedgerows and stockproof fencing, contributing to excellent handling conditions for livestock. The holding also enjoys the advantage of numerous reliable natural water sources to most parcels.

.

The land itself, benefits from access from a right of way over the adjoining property at Cwmpadest Farm with access then being provided by a council-maintained minor road, which leads from the A4067 council-maintained road. Further internal accessibility is ensured via a private gravel track that weaves through the property, linking back to the main farmstead and enabling machinery and livestock movement throughout the year to a majority of the land.

.

The land varies between approximately 292 metres and 390 metres above sea level, creating a partially level, to sloping and undulating level landscape well-suited to grazing and fodder production. Some areas of the land include some steeper gradients, offering variety in aspect and land use. According to the Agricultural Land Classification Map (Wales), the soils are categorised as Grade 4 to Grade 5. These soil types are primarily suited to pasture but could, subject to the relevant consents, support a broader range of fodder crops. The land is currently utilised for livestock grazing and annual silage cropping, demonstrating its reliability and versatility for a wide range of agricultural enterprises.

.

Water availability across the holding is reliable, with multiple natural water sources meandering throughout. This provides both security and flexibility for livestock management.

.

Beyond its agricultural value, Cwmpadest Farm presents significant potential for environmental, biodiversity and natural capital opportunities. The landscape includes permanent pasture, mature broadleaf trees, pockets of scrubland, established hedgerows, and natural water features. These elements contribute to a rich and diverse habitat that supports a wide range of flora and fauna. The varied topography and existing ecological features may offer potential for future environmental schemes, carbon sequestration programmes, or other regenerative and nature-based initiatives. Such opportunities could provide additional income streams or long-term capital enhancement, making the holding attractive not only to farmers but also to buyers seeking environmental investment potential.
