The Setting and Approach


General
The placing of Merlin Court, Llangadog on the open market provides prospective buyers with a unique opportunity of acquiring an exceptionally desirable country home.

The property is offered with 23.138 acres of surrounding quality level pastures. The homestead is approached via tarmacadam private drive with the house set within its its own grounds with traditional range of farm buildings that suit conversion ( subject to the appropriate consents being obtained) and further modern general large span buildings, suiting a variety of agricultural or commercial enterprises.

The property is delightfully positioned in unspoilt surroundings close to the Brecon Beacons National Park and within easy travelling distance of the amenity centres of the area. The house itself will benefit from general refurbishment and updating but is spacious, benefits from oil fired central heating and double glazing.

The whole ambiance of the holding is one of a superior small farm that has diverse appeal and vast potential for alternative use ( subject to consents being obtained ). Such uses in the Agent's opinion could include commercial enterprise with relation to the farm buildings, conversion to provide cottage accommodation/holiday use and equestrian purposes or horticultural use.

This is an ideally positioned small farm, which is recommended for early inspection.
