Whitemill, Carmarthen., SA32 7HH

Description: The Smallholding totals to just under 30 acres with the land running down on each side of the access track to the centrally located homestead and two fields and woodland set below it.

The property benefits from two dwellings - The original stone/slate cottage style 3 bed, 2 bath farmhouse which has been subject to recent grant assisted energy saving works including Air Source Central Heating system and internal wall insulation panels and provides comfortable accommodation for a couple/small family.

The 2 bed cottage is a barn conversion (work carried out in 2007) and has previously been let out under an Assured Shorthold Tenancy basis, but is currently vacant, so affording the opportunity for occupation by either an extended part of a large/multi generation family/holiday or short term let purposes.

From the bottom end of the yard, a breathtaking view of the surrounding South and Westerly aspect countryside and on a clear day, we're verbally advised that you can see as far as Tenby/Kidwelly/Black Mountains.

The outbuildings have been used for livestock/fodder/general storage purposes, with the upper yard and shed having been used for lambing and dairy youngstock housing purposes, with handling yard adjacent.

Subject to some adaptation, the shed could be used for equestrian purposes. The two sheds down on the main yard are used for storage purposes, but again are adaptable for individual tastes.

The pastureland is a mixture of level to gently sloping enclosures, with some more sloping on the Western and Southern aspects, together with the wooded areas on these two boundary aspects, with an additional area having been planted in the past under a Welsh Government agricultural- environmental scheme.
