Description
Blaencwm is an attractive small farm of about 62 acres (stms – subject to
measured survey) with a character farmhouse, which has been sympathetically
renovated and extended to provide generous and flexible living accommodation.
Part of the house could be used as a self - contained annexe for an extended
family or guests. The stables and extensive general - purpose outbuildings
provide excellent space for the keeping of animals, be they livestock or
horses/ponies as well the storage of feed, machinery and workshop purposes.
The buildings could be used for a wedding barn or as the base for an internet
business, subject to planning.
Farmhouse Accommodation
The attractive farmhouse provides flexible living accommodation and can be
used as a single dwelling or as two using the annexe and has the potential for
further extension (stp).
Ground Floor
A welcoming front entrance porch leads into a reception hall with a door off
to a ground floor bedroom. Another door opens out into the large living room
with tiled floor, beamed ceiling and a wood burning stove providing a warm
focal point. A door leads off to the rear of the house and the large kitchen
dining room, again with beamed ceiling. The kitchen features fitted units,
worktops and space for appliances. Off the dining area is a ground floor
bathroom while off the kitchen is a useful utility room with door to outside.
First Floor
Stairs rise up from the dining area to the first - floor accommodation that
includes two bedrooms that overlook the front gardens, one with an en suite
shower room.
Annexe Accommodation
A modern extension was added between 2019 – 2021 that provides ether extra
living accommodation to the main house or could be utilised as a self -
contained annexe for family or guests. The annexe can be accessed via the
sunroom sliding patio doors or via internal lockable doors from the farmhouse
kitchen dining room or the living room. To the rear of sunroom is an
office/study area with a striking Dik Geurts Bora Corner 8kw wood burner,
small cloakroom with WC and door to the rear garden. Adjacent is the separate
fitted kitchen breakfast room. The annexe is completed by a large bedroom with
en suite shower room and double French doors that open out onto a patio/the
front garden.
Externally
A large garden sheltered by the stables on the east and a bank on the west,
and a Beech hedge on the north securely fenced with very good soil. The
greater part is laid to lawn with magnificent mature hydrangeas and wisteria,
aubretia, cotoneaster, berberis and pieris. The owner has recently planted in
the garden over the last four years a variety of plants including over ten
young rhododendron and 25 roses, clematis, azaleas, lupins, lavertia,
hellebore, echocordia, honeysuckle, lavender, sweet peas. Gaillardias thrive.
There is a small herb bed with bay tree, rosemary, parsley, chives, mint,
oregano, sage and thyme. There are four raised stone walled flower beds and
two outside taps conveniently located for watering.
Natural Flora & fauna
Buzzards &/or kites circle several times a week, the odd sparrowhawk appears,
Cuckoos call in the spring. Woodpeckers, tits, finches, robins and wagtails
feed on the bird tables. The odd hare and fox are found. The unspoilt
landscape provides an abundance of naturally growing primroses, foxgloves,
wild geraniums, Jacobs Ladder, Sedum, St John’s Wort and Fuchsia.
The Outbuildings
To the side and rear of the farmhouse are a range of modern farm buildings
that be used for a variety of purposes and are perfect for the keeping of
animals, feed, machinery and workshop purposes. They include a:
Wooden stable block with four loose boxes.
Four - bay enclosed implement / loose housing shed with concrete floor, water
and electricity connected.
Former milking parlour
Loose housing shed
Storage shed
Lean - to store / garage - Open front with concrete floor
Former cubicle house with concrete floor converted to sheep housing and
lambing pens.
The Farmland
The farmland, about 49 acres (stms), faces north which is less prone to
droughting in dry times. All fields are either naturally watered from streams
or watered with troughs gravity fed from a tank (fed by the borehole). Most of
the land has been limed in the last four years.
The Woodland
On the west side of the house of the house is an area of woodland extending to
about 13 acres (stms) which has recently been clear felled and replanted in
2021 with a predominantly broadleaved mix, mainly Beech with some Oak, Rowan,
Aspen and Spruce trees. The trees are now standing above the surrounding
vegetation. A stone road has been laid down to the stream at the bottom.
We have been informed by the owner that the purchaser of Blaencwm and his
family/visitors have the right to roam through and to drive down to the stream
in the middle of the adjoining woodland (about 75 acres)
The adjoining woodland owner has the right to use the access through Blaencwm
to the wood and the landing area. As there is no commercial crop left to fell
it will be about 20 – 25 years before the access would be used for timber
lorries for extraction purposes.
Location
Blaencwm (“Head of Valley” in Welsh) is located in a rural area of north
Carmarthenshire between the villages of Llanfynydd and Abergorlech (both about
three miles) and lies about six miles north of the A40 and about eight miles
from the popular market town of Llandeilo with railway station.
The property is set in an unspoilt rural location, offering great privacy
being not overlooked and is approached by a long - stoned drive. The nearest
primary school and nursery is at Dryslwyn, about five miles away.

including Carmarthen, again with railway station, (about 14. 5 miles) while
Cross Hands and the A48 M4 link road is about 14 miles with the M4 motorway
starting at Pont Abraham four miles later.
The M4 links to south Wales with Swansea about 30 miles, Cardiff about 72
miles, the Severn Bridge and into England (about 92 miles).
