Description

A fantastic opportunity to purchase a large block of approximately 249.44 acres (100.94 hectares) of agricultural land laid to permanent pasture situated near Cwmtwrch, Swansea for sale as a whole, or in two lots, by Private Treaty.

The Land

The land comprises a parcel of agricultural land extending to 249.44 acres (100.94 hectares) laid to permanent pastureland. The property is split into two large blocks of land, bound by livestock-proof fencing and mature hedgerows in part. The land benefits from mature trees that intercept the property and provide good overhead cover. The property is located approximately 1 mile west of Cwmtwrch and 15 miles north-east of the city of Swansea, with good road links to the A4068 and A4067.

.

The land extends to a versatile block of grazing ground, classified as Grade 4 and 5, with multiple natural water sources and convenient access through several gateways. The land also features roadside frontage to a council-maintained road and further access via a private track that enhances its practicality for agricultural use. The topography of the land differs throughout, with parts being gently sloping to level in areas, the land is situated at 150 metres to 191 metres above sea level.

.

In addition to its current use for livestock grazing, the property includes a concrete yard and two agricultural outbuildings in reasonable condition, as well as a traditional outbuilding offering potential for restoration (subject to planning). With some improvement works, the land would lend itself to a range of agricultural, equestrian, or lifestyle opportunities.

.

The topography and nature of the land may offer additional biodiversity and natural capital opportunities and subsequently provide possible income generation and capital growth in future. The land benefits from a plethora of biodiversity in the form of permanent pasture, mature trees, woodland, hedgerows, and natural water which may provide opportunities including mitigating carbon in the future.

.

It is believed that the land was formally subject to surface coal mining, where coal was historically extracted via open excavations. Additionally, the land is believed to feature a number of historic mine entries The property also features two livestock outbuildings: Livestock outbuilding (44ft x 29 ft): Of steel portal frame construction and concrete flooring, x14 steel cattle cubicles and concrete walls.
