A stunning five bedroom farmhouse in a truly magical location, set in approx. 19 acres of mainly wooded grounds, with a separate barn conversion and good range of useful outbuildings
Ffynnon Felin is steeped in history and believed to be around 250 years old. It has been comprehensively refurbished by the present owners in recent years and for part of the year it has been let on Airbnb as a luxury holiday home which has produced an excellent income. Additionally there is a bio-mass heating system and photo-voltaic solar panels which also produce additional income. The grounds are a particular feature of the property with beautiful landscaped gardens leading on to an extensive area of mature deciduous woodland.
The property is set close to the small village of Cwmbach, equidistant from St Clears and Whitland, which provide ranges of local amenities and access onto the A40, which provides a fast link to Carmarthen and the M4 to the east. Carmarthen offers a full range of shops and amenities.
