Registered smallholding comprising 2 bed cottage together with range of useful outbuildings, polytunnel and approx 2.5 acres land including young willow plantation. Rural location with fine views over open countryside, yet with easy access to Newcastle Emlyn and to Carmarthen.

Ffynnon Wen is a charming working smallholding. The vendors currently grow plenty of fruit and vegetables for their own use. They have a chicken house and enclosure and make a useful income from gate sales of eggs. They also have a young willow plantation of some 2000 plants, which is beginning to provide an income through sales for hurdles and for living sculptures. This is an area which can expand over the next few years as the plants reach maturity. There is also a paddock area that is currently unused and could be used for livestock, for more willows, for an extended vegetable garden etc. as desired by the purchaser.

The original property dates back to the early twentieth century and was extended in the 1990s. It benefits from double glazed windows throughout and has solid-fuel central heating and a wood burning stove on the ground floor.

EXTERNALLY

Ffynnon Wen has a gated entrance from the road leading to ample parking and turning space for several vehicles. There are mature flower borders to the front of the parking area and an archway through a mature hedge leads to a secluded garden with trees, seating area, lawn, bulbs and shrubs and two GREENHOUSES.

To the rear of the house is a delightful cottage garden with central pathway. This is a riot of colour with a wide variety of shrubs, flowers and trees.

The Buildings

Adjoining the house is a LEAN-TO, which currently comprises:

• UTILITY ROOM 2.76m x 2.5m (9’ x 8’2”) with plumbing for washing machine; stainless steel sink; quarry tiled floor
• POTTING SHED 4.92m x 2.5m (16’2” x 8’2”) with electricity connected; glazed to front and side

Behind the house is a block built OUTHOUSE 3.4m x 2m externally (11’2” x 6’7”) which is divided into two and serves as a STORE and a COALHOUSE.

The remaining buildings lie to the side of the house and comprise:

• BARN 13.5m x 5.25m (44’3” x 17’3”) open Dutch barn to the front with enclosed storage space to the rear; electricity connected
• TOOL SHED 3.1m x 2.6m externally (10’2” x 8’6”) block built
• ANIMAL HOUSE 8.63m x 4.42m (28’4” x 14’6”) of block and corrugated construction with a door to each end; concrete floor with central drainage channel; 6 pens

The Land

The land lies beyond the outbuildings and the rear garden. There is a spring-fed duck pond; a CHICKEN HOUSE with large chicken run; a good-sized vegetable garden, a soft fruit area with gooseberries, currants and raspberries, and a POLYTUNNEL.

One part of the land has been planted with approximately 2000 willow trees. These have started to crop and supply hurdle/fence makers and living sculptures. By the time the trees are four years old, they will provide an abundant crop and be a useful source of income. Alongside this area is an uncultivated area of approximately equal size. This could be used to extend the willow plantation if desired. However, it could equally be used for livestock or for additional growing. There is also a small area of woodland to the end of the property.

The entire property extends to just under 2.5 acres and is a compact Registered Smallholding. It enjoys far-reaching views over open countryside.
