Land & Buildings

 

OUTSIDE, OUTBUILDINGS & LAND

The property is approached via a forest trackway and sits in a part wooded valley in a beautiful tucked away location. We understand that the forest track carries on up to one other property beyond. Off the trackway there is a lower paddock which has been dog-fenced and has a Summer House. This area has previously been utilised for exercising dogs on a paid basis. 

Above this there is a part wooded banked area with a small silver birch coppice, this land would improve to provide further pasture / grazing. Further along the drive there is a GI Store / Shelter 13’6 x 9’ (about 4.1m x 2.7m)

Below the house there is a Workshop 20’ x 8’8 (about 6.1m x 2.7m) with light and power plus adjoining Store 20’ x 8’ (about 6.1m x 2.4m) and a former Isolation Kennel to side. There is a further Lean-to Store. Beyond the house there is a Mono-pitched Barn 21’ x 10’6 (about 6.4m x 3.2m) with light and power, currently containing four Goat Pens and a Timber Shed / Feed Store. These buildings have a paddock above, with a Pig Sty. There is a further Poultry Shed and a number of further small paddock areas.

There are a number of Kennel Buildings and Cat Pens which were utilised for the former Kennel and Cattery business although please note that this property is not being sold as a kennels and cattery, and it is believed that these facilities would need to be substantially updated to continue any similar business.

At the rear of the property there is a former Home Office and a small Rear Courtyard off of which there are several other Kennel Buildings as well as a Lean-to Washroom with stainless steel sink and a Timber Feed Store. Immediately to the front of the cottage there is a Paved Seating Area with a beautiful view looking back down the valley as well as a small orchard area with a variety of soft fruit trees, a vegetable garden and chicken enclosure.

    Mr & Mrs B (Yorkshire)

  • We just wanted to pass on our enormous thanks for the hard work you and your company put into selling our property and helping with the purchase of this house. We also want to thank you for your unfailing support, encouragement and cheerfulness through what was, for us, a very stressful time

    Mr & Mrs D (Carmarthenshire)

  • I just wanted to pass on my thanks for all your tremendous work during the sale of our property. It's been a bit of a rollercoaster at times but you did a great job in lining up the buyers for us. From the get-go I've felt we're in good hand with Rural Scene. Estate agents don't always get the best press but I wouldn't hesitate to recommend you to anyone selling their smallholding.

    Mr & Mrs E (Carmarthenshire)

  • I felt I must write to you both to express my gratitude for the work Abi Rhodes has done on the sale of M......... From the initial meeting she has demonstrated expert knowledge in our type of property that had just been lacking from other agents and filled us with confidence. Throughout the marketing and sale she has been thoroughly professional yet friendly in dealing with the 77 viewings we had to undertake to get to the final sale. Some of the people as we have neared the sale have frankly been rude and in some cases unpleasant and Abi has dealt with them all and shielded us from it completely. She has worked tirelessly to get us finally to completion. I would not hesitate in recommending your company to anyone looking to market the properties you work with.
