** 200 Acre Farm ** Coastal Frontage onto Cardigan Bay **
1½ Miles to Aberystwyth Town Centre ** Great Redevelopment
Opportunity ** Productive Pastureland in Early Growing Region **
Walking Distance to Aberystwyth South Beach ** One of the most
renowned farms in the region to come to market in recent times
**
In a favoured location on the edge of town, a
productive 200 acre farm comprising of a substantial former
farmhouse (currently in two dwellings) together with mainly
traditional outbuildings ripe for development.
The land is within short walking distance of the south beach,
Aberystwyth. Aberystwyth is an important Mid Wales university
and market town with employment opportunities at the university,
Nation Library of Wales and Bronglais hospital. There is a
good range of both local and national retailers at Aberystwyth in
addition to all the major banks and secondary schools.
Mains electricity and private water source. A mains supply
is nearby. Private drainage.
The farm is freehold with vacant possession on completion.
Council Tax Band D (per property).
GENERAL
The farm is located 1½ miles from the university and coastal resort
of Aberystwyth in a delightful sheltered valley setting set off a
private drive with extensive frontage to a council maintained road
and just a short distance from the main A487 trunk road.
Seldom do farms become available on the early growing coastal belt.
Part of the land at Tan y Bwlch is immediately adjacent to
Aberystwyth south beach. The farm is easily accessible to the cycle
path along the river Ystwyth and the popular All Wales coastal path
(see plan).
The imposing and substantial stone and slate Georgian style
farmhouse has a sheltered south facing location and is currently
two separate dwellings, but can easily be converted back to a six
bedroom farmhouse with its own grounds slightly isolated from the
outbuildings.
The outbuildings are mainly traditional in nature (see photographs)
and are ripe for development subject to the necessary consents
being obtained.
The majority of the land is level, highly prolific and all land to
pasture is capable of sustaining high stock levels throughout the
year. Approximately 63 aces on the southern boundary is gently
sloping Sheepwalk as highlighted on the plan.
