Description

An exciting opportunity to acquire a versatile plot of mature native woodland measuring approximately 2 acres, situated in the village of Ponthenri, Carmarthenshire.
Key Features & Highlights:
Size & Shape: Just under 2 acres of mature woodland featuring a distinctive, extended shape. Its long, meandering layout creates a wonderfully private stretch of land, ideal for private nature walks, woodland trails, or creating personal leisure zones along the plot.
Access & Road Frontage: Direct roadside access located conveniently opposite Ysgol Gynradd Ponthenri (Primary School) witha dropped kerb.

Versatile Recreational Potential: A brilliant blank canvas for personal off-grid leisure, weekend camping/retreats (under 28-day temporary use rules in Wales), conservation projects, rewilding, bushcraft, or smallholder grazing.
Fencing & Boundaries: Currently unfenced, allowing the new owner full freedom to enclose and secure their private slice of the Welsh countryside.

The plot comprises a distinct parcel of land located within Ponthenri, a village well positioned between Llanelli and Cross Hands. The land benefits from a clearly identifiable site with boundaries to be verified by the purchaser and details set out within the legal pack.
Access is understood to be via Main Road, and interested parties should rely solely on their own inspections and legal enquiries.

Potential & Investment Opportunity
Although no planning permission is currently in place, the site may be of interest to:

Land and strategic investors
Developers seeking future potential (subject to consent)
Buyers looking for long-term land holding or amenity land

Any change of use or development will be strictly subject to the necessary planning permissions and statutory consents.

Ponthenri is a well-established village in Carmarthenshire, offering a semi-rural setting while remaining conveniently located for access to Llanelli town centre, Cross Hands retail park, and the A48/M4 corridor. The surrounding area includes a mix of residential properties and open countryside, making it an appealing location for a variety of potential uses,

We would urge you to register a couple of days in advance as we cannot guarantee you will be registered on time to bid if we only receive your documents on the day of the auction.

It is imperative that you register to bid in the name you wish the property to be registered with Land Registry on completion. If buying in a company name, please ensure to detail the company name on the registration. Once the property is exchanged, the vendor could decline to accept any change.

Buyers should review the legal pack with their solicitor and ensure they do their own due diligence before deciding to purchase.

All property offered at auction is under an unconditional contract, requiring the successful buyer to pay a 10% non-refundable deposit and complete within the terms of the contract, which will normally be 14 or 28 days. For these reasons, it is suitable for cash buyers only.
