Gilfach Gynyddion, Banc y Ffordd

BRIEF DESCRIPTION Gilfach Cynnyddion is a delightfully situated development consisting of the main farmhouse with attached converted barn, allowing for a modern yet, characterful open plan living space along with a further detached converted barn, which have both been lovingly restored and maintained over the 16 years that the current owners have been in residence including all new, double-glazed box sash windows t the farmhouse. There are further ancillary buildings, including a workshop, log/mower store, large garden shed, poly tunnel and a summer house overlooking a picturesque fish pond and far-reaching views beyond, again all meticulously maintained to the highest of standards. The property further benefits from a new private water borehole and a modern 12-person septic tank. Access from the minor road is via gated entrance leading onto a well-maintained private lane that leads onto a further gated & livestock grated entrance leading to the main courtyard, private parking for the detached barn and gardens. The vendors advise that the property sits in approximately 2 acres or thereabouts. Properties of this quality do not often hit the open market & viewing is highly recommended.

LOCATION & AMENITIES
The property is situated within the small rural hamlet of Banc y Ffordd which lies on the outskirts of the Teifi Valley town of Llandysul, and offers a good range of local facilities & amenities.  These include: shops, a post office, two medical practices, public houses, places of worship, a leisure centre, indoor swimming pool and a brand new 3 to 18yrs ‘super school’.  The market town of Newcastle Emlyn lies just 7 miles away, with the administrative town of Carmarthen, with rail links and access to the M4 Motorway just 11 miles due south-east.
