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.
