HAFOD HIR ISAF
Hafod Hir Isaf provides a rare opportunity to purchase a former dairy farm set within its ring-fenced boundary located in the agricultural heart of West Wales. Extending to approximately 184.6 acres in total, the land provides a mix of productive grassland and environmentally enhanced land suitable for future scheme applications, including woodland and ponds. The traditional courtyard farm yard, accessed via a tree-lined entrance driveway, is 11,000 sq ft providing extensive hardstanding for bales, implements and parked machinery.

HOUSE
The house is a true asset to the farm, offering spacious and well-designed living accommodation. A particular feature is the large farmhouse-style kitchen with a Rayburn stove. The house also includes a separate farm office and utility room accessed through a secondary door, distinct from the main living areas.

On the ground floor, you will find the kitchen and three reception rooms, one of which can be used as a ground-floor bedroom. The formal entrance hallway, accessed from the front door, boasts an original pine staircase leading to a spacious landing. This landing connects to the en-suite master bedroom, four additional double bedrooms and a family bathroom.

The house is heated by an oil-fired central heating system and has UPVC and aluminium-framed double-glazed windows throughout.

THE LAND
The holding extends to approximately 184.6 acres in total. The parcels to the southern and western parts of the farm provide productive silage and grazing land. These fields are flat and well traversable with far reaching views per the elevated position. There are some small areas of woodland and shelter belts providing useful cover. The lower land is grazeable in its current condition and improvable for more commercial operations. Alternatively, these areas might lend well to future conservation measures, tree planting or compliance with eligibility criteria for future support schemes, subject to the necessary consents. The fields have access to either a private water network or multiple natural water sources.

The land is serviced by a network of stone tracks which provide good vehicular access from the farmyard to many of the field parcels. The land is subject to a single Public Footpath (34/32) which commences from the entrance drive, avoiding the farmstead, leading north east along the vehicular track.

SERVICES
Mains electricity is connected to the property. The farm benefits from a private water supply from borehole which serves the land, buildings and farm office section of the farmhouse. A mains water supply feeds is connected to the living part of the farmhouse. Foul drainage is provided by a septic tank.
