Description

Penlan Uchaf is an attractive smallholding of about 32 acres (stms – subject to measured survey) enjoying stunning views over the Gwaun Valley in the famous Pembrokeshire Coast National Park. The property includes a character barn conversion (subject to an AOC – agricultural occupancy condition) offering comfortable accommodation space and an attached barn that has been used as a popular tea room café in the past. The current owner had planning in the past to change the immediate land around the house to gardens which they did for the tea room visitors to explore and enjoy. There is great potential for new owners to carry on and expand this tourism venture further. Around the traditional farmyard are a number of useful modern general purpose outbuildings suitable for livestock, horses and ponies, feed, machinery, storage and workshops etc. The majority of the land lies to the south and east of the yard, is south facing and divided into manageable fields for animals and cropping.

Accommodation
The current owner converted a traditional stone barn (former cowshed) into a residential dwelling. As mentioned the above the dwelling is subject to an AOC. Further details from the selling agents but the wording of the planning reads:

'The occupation of the dwelling hereby permitted shall be limited to a person employed, or last employed, locally in agriculture…or in forestry, or a dependent of such a person residing with him, (but including widow or widower of such a person).'

The main stable door entrance leads into a reception hall with slate floor and doors leading off to the accommodation space. A door on the left leads into the light open plan kitchen living dining room with another stable door to outside, fitted storage units, an electric fitted oven, gas hob and extractor hood over, twin Belfast sink, log burner cooker and a biomass boiler, both providing warm focal points. Steps lead down off the kitchen to a large conservatory that enjoys breath-taking views over the Gwaun Valley. Returning back to the reception hall, doors lead off to a shower room and three separate bedrooms with the main bedroom situated at the end of the hall. Attached to the property is a stone building that was converted into the tea room café for visitors. The character room features a vaulted ceiling, exposed beams and slate flagstone floor. There is the potential for future owners to look to re-instate this tourism venture or convert it into a studio/ extra living accommodation (stp – subject to planning).

Externally
The property is approached by a concrete drive that leads up to a large courtyard with ample parking and turning area for several vehicles. As mentioned above, the current owner had planning permission to change some of the immediate agricultural land into show gardens for public visitors to enjoy when the tea room café was in use. The gardens enjoy mature trees, hedges, bushes, shrubs and flower borders with numerous seating areas to sit and take in the countryside views.

The Outbuildings
Set around the farmyard are four modern general purpose open span outbuildings with concrete yards. The buildings are ideal for the keeping of any livestock, horses, ponies, feed, machinery, workshop purposes and general storage.

The Land
The land is divided into manageable enclosures for livestock and adjoins the farmyard for ease of access. The pastureland is south to south-east facing and gently sloping to sloping in nature as it nears the southern boundary. In all, the property extends to about 32 acres (stms) as marked within the yellow boundary on the land plan.

Option: There is an option to purchase extra pastureland that adjoins the property to the north by separate negotiation. This block of land also extends to about 32 acres (stms) and is marked by a red boundary on the land plan. Guide Price for the whole farm with about 66 acres £850,000.
