Outside
The property is approached over a shared stoned/tarmacadam driveway to the parking and turning area to the side of the house. Please note the adjoining landowner shares the driveway to give access to his farmland. Preceding the house are the outbuildings which comprise barn, of stone/blockwork and timber framed with corrugated/timber clad construction under a slate roof. The barn is in need of refurbishment but offers great potential for workshop and storage uses or for housing of animals. To either side are lean-to stores and workshops. Opposite, are a timber framed and corrugated zinc clad garage and store shed, and adjacent to a stoned parking area is a stone woodshed with corrugated zinc roof. Attached to the side of the house is a lean-to store. To the rear of the house, the gardens have been landscaped and comprise upper paved and gravelled seating area with store shed, steps down to a greenhouse and small ponds and grassed area with herbaceous/flowering beds. Beyond the gardens and outbuildings are approximately 7 acres of pastureland sub-divided into 4 manageable enclosures with timber framed zinc clad field shelter/implement shed. The land benefits from mains water trough for livestock and post and wire boundaries. The lower field is an SSSI and is grazed from the 1st of July to the 30th of September, has assorted trees and has the benefit of the Nantserth brook which attracts an abundance of bird and wildlife. Above the access road are 2 further fields extending to 8 acres approximately, ideal for the keeping of livestock or mowing.
