LAND AT PANT HILL, SARN, NEWTOWN, POWYS, SY16 4EN

The land comprises an impressive block of undulating upland pasture and hill grazing land situated in an elevated, yet accessible position known as ‘Pant Hill’, extending to approximately 135.39 acres (54.76 hectares) within five enclosures, as shown delineated red on the attached plan. Enjoying far-reaching panoramic views across the surrounding Mid Wales and Shropshire countryside, the holding offers a combination of productive grazing and mowing land, areas of rough pasture, established habitat, mature hedgerows and scattered trees, creating an attractive balance between agricultural productivity and environmental value.

.

The land and enclosures are bound by stockproof fenced boundaries and mature hedgerows, providing practical livestock management whilst enhancing biodiversity throughout the holding. A great asset to the land is the hardcore track that runs through the land, connecting the council-maintained highways on the north and southern boundaries, whilst providing excellent internal access with all vehicles, a significant benefit for livestock husbandry, maintenance and general land management. The holding benefits from natural water supplies derived from a stream and spring, with part of the boundary extending to a stream.

..

The land has been currently used for livestock production, capable of producing good quality livestock with excellent stocking capabilities, within this renowned farming area on the Welsh border. The land can support an agricultural enterprise whilst also offering considerable environmental and conservation appeal, leading itself to a variety of uses including agriculture, amenity, environmental, and offers future opportunities for investment in natural capital, carbon sequestration and biodiversity.

...

Situated within Wales, the holding is particularly well suited to the objectives of the new Sustainable Farming Scheme (SFS). The extensive areas of permanent grassland, together with established habitat features, mature boundary hedgerows, trees, scrub and natural watercourses, provide significant environmental value and may offer opportunities for purchasers seeking to combine agricultural production with environmental land management and natural capital objectives.

....

In addition to its agricultural and environmental appeal, the land offers exceptional amenity value, enjoying an unspoilt rural setting and commanding views over the surrounding countryside. The land is likely to appeal to farmers, conservation-minded purchasers, environmental investors and those seeking a substantial block of countryside in a highly scenic location. The village of Sarn is situated in Powys, on the Welsh Border, adjacent to the A489, approximately six and half miles east of the larger town of Newtown with a more extensive range of facilities.
