The Buildings

The buildings lie relatively close to the house, but to one side and include:

• DUTCH BARN approx 60’ deep, housing an inspection pit; full length loft over; lean-to WORKSHOP to one side; double doors giving access to barn and workshop to front and side; lean-to STORE to other side. This building alone provides plenty of dry space for the smallholding, for storage, livestock and maintenance requirements.
• Further lean-to IMPLEMENT SHED to side of Store currently used as garage.
• COW SHED of stone and slate construction, ideal for conversion subject to the necessary consents; currently divided into two parts: 8m x 4.7m (26’3 x 15’5) and 2.2m x 4.7m (7’3 x 15’5).

• 3 bay open fronted BUILDING 11.35m x 3.85m (37’3 x 12’8) providing additional equipment storage, or could be used to provide stabling if required.

The Land

About 7.5 acres has been set aside as protected habitat land. This includes a number of wildlife ponds and stream boundary. It is species rich unimproved grassland and the home to snipe, woodcock, reed buntings, grasshopper warblers, orchids, dragonflies to name a small part of the rich variety of wildlife to be found there. This provides an annual income of approx £340.

The remaining land is predominantly sloping pasture (not steep), and there is a very sizeable vegetable garden to the side of the house including a greenhouse (14’ x 11’).

The land extends to approx 27.75 acres in total.

The property is located just outside the village of Talgarreg, which has a thriving community and offers a primary school, shop and pub.
