Description

Pwll Yr Heirn is a delightful country property in west Wales that comprises a large traditional farmhouse (thought to originally date c.1600s – 1700s) that has been extended over the years. The property has had a complete overhaul by the current owners to produce a spacious and comfortable home blending its character features with modern touches. The large scale of the house living accommodation offers the potential to divide to provide a self-contained annexe/cottage if required – stp – subject to planning. Arranged around the house is a traditional courtyard with a garden area, outdoor dining area, stables and further useful outbuildings. The magical feature of this property is its land that extends to about 44 acres (as identified by the yellow boundary on the aerial land plan) and includes an interesting mix of productive pastureland and a stunning woodland valley bordering a stream with idyllic woodland walks to appreciate the wildlife and habitats. The property makes for a special home but also has potential to explore tourism uses to diversify income streams (stp).
