The Buildings

• Lean-to stone built packing room 4.85m x 2.4m (16’ x 8’) with tiled floor
• Block built workshop 4.55m x 4.25m (15’ x 14’)
• Two bay hay barn with lean-to store

• 1 polytunnel – measuring approx. 125’ x 23’
• 1 polytunnel – measuring approx. 30’ x 8’ used for propagation.

Total area under cover is approx 19,600 sq ft

The Land

The land, which is mostly good or improvable pasture, lies around the house. There are a number of enclosures and the land is mainly flat.

Around the house lies plenty of garden. This is mainly laid to lawn.

The current vendors have left some of the land for wildlife. Some of this land could be improved if required. The smallholding is part of the Tir Gofal scheme for which a small yearly grant is paid. However, it is not necessary to remain in the scheme.

The Business

The business is based around the 3 large poly-tunnels. Currently the vendors grow a variety of vegetables and salad produce, which is sold to a wide number of clients (including hotels, restaurants, shops etc.) and at local farmers markets. Turnover is typically around £50,000 and the vendors are happy to run the business at this level. However, it is felt that there is plenty of scope to increase the size of the business as required. The vendors would be happy to discuss this with those who are interested.

The selling price includes the good will, the current orders, stock and a large inventory of equipment.

The business is certified by the Soil Association and is a registered smallholding.

PLEASE NOTE that a footpath runs across the smallholding.

Location

The smallholding is set approximately 1½ miles from the sea and takes just a few minutes to drive to the popular seaside town of Aberaeron. Here there is everything required for day to day living including schools, banks etc. etc. The West Wales coastline is well known for its water sports. To the south of Aberaeron there are fine clean sandy beaches. Venturing a little further north, you come to the lower reaches of the Snowdonia National Park and good walking country. The whole area is home to a variety of wildlife and the countryside is generally unspoilt making it ideal for holidays. Tourism is now the key to the local economy.

SERVICES

Mains electricity and water is connected. There is a private water supply available if required. Private drainage. Oil-fired central heating.
