Under Offer
A characterful detached three/four bedroom cottage set in approx. 10.6 acres with a range of outbuildings and barns, excellent quality pasture paddocks and a bank of mature deciduous woodland.
The cottage is believed to date back to the early 1800’s and the current owners have lived there for nearly thirty years. We understand that it was formerly a dairy farm, and the land has been used more recently for grazing sheep and hay cropping. We understand that no chemical fertilisers or sprays have been used on the land for at least 20 years.
The property lies just to the south of the village of Llanpumsaint which has a mobile Post Office twice a week and there is a popular filling station with a local shop and Post Office in nearby Rhydargaeau. Cynwyl Elfed also has a village shop with Post Office and a primary school, and nearby Carmarthen provides a full range of shops, amenities and access onto the A48 dual carriageway, which provides a fast link to the M4 motorway, Swansea and Cardiff.
