Description: The property was purchased by the Vendor’s father in the mid 1940’s and over the decades, he improved the holding and producing top quality stock, a tradition which has been carried on by the current generation, together with addition of labour saving buildings and making it an ideal one man unit. The minor road bisects the land into two main blocks, with the pastures mainly being all in good heart, with a few sloping corners and one more wettish enclosure on the Homestead block and lying on the bottom end of that block, some areas of mature woodland and established scrub.
The holding up to 2020, was running a dairy herd, the parlour (10 units) is still in situ and available to re-use if so desired. A sheep flock has always been had and now lately the policy of buying in weaned calves and taking them on to finishing, with the cattle mainly housed in cubicle sheds with feeding alleys and several sheds with automatic scrapers, feeding to a 300,000 gallon circular slurry store. The Homestead block fields are mainly accessed from the yard and internal track, with the upper block having either roadside frontage, or an internal track giving access to a certain point and with a few then crossing each other to the furthest point. The vast majority of fields are internally fenced for sheep and the vast majority of areas being deemed as croppable and accessible to machinery.

The Land: Is divided into 2 blocks and we describe them accordingly:
Homestead Block: This block totals to some 61 ¾ acres or thereabouts, including some 4 acres of Homestead/Lane/Track and some 9 ¾ acres of wood/scrub and small pond, so leaving some 48 acres of grazable pastures, with the majority of those enclosures being level to gently sloping and in good heart, with one field on the Western aspect being slightly more sloping down to the boundary and the two enclosures due right of the entrance lane being slightly more wettish in nature. The wooded and scrub areas lie on the far Northern, Eastern and Western aspects and bound with the rivers Siedi and Einon respectively. Water troughs are located at various strategic positions and each field being individually fenced.
Upper Block: This block totals to some 125 ¼ acres or thereabouts and apart for some 3 ¾ acres of wood/scrub and tracks, the balance is clean pastureland, with some sloping areas on the Western aspect. The balance are sizable level to gently sloping enclosures in good heart and all apart from one being individually fenced for sheep and suited for either grazing/cropping purposes.
There is one area of rush on the Eastern boundary. A sheep handling area lies on the Southern boundary and here the land probably extends up to some 800’ above sea level. The private water supply source originates in parcel No: 1076 and feeds down to a holding chamber lower down and the supply is fed to the various tanks on the block. A drainage channel also lies between parcel No’s 5396 and 6291.
Rights of Way:
1. We note that a footpath comes in from the East from Blaensiedi Fawr into Parcel No: 0562, comes out to the yard, before going out to Parcel No: 9053 and divides into a Westerly and Northerly direction – going over to Triol Brith and down to the woodland heading for Gaerwen Uchaf supposedly. We assume that these were former ‘postman’s paths’ and that the vendors verbally confirm that they’ve not seen anybody use them over a considerable period of time and some parts of the former routes would now not be accessible owing to overgrowth etc.
