An opportunity to acquire a property with land with very good income potential, currently run as an established licensed kennels and cattery business. The vendors also have a breeding license, and we understand there is excellent income potential from the long established business should a purchaser want to continue this.
The property is situated at the end of a long no through farm track, in a tucked away location, with superb far reaching views.
The property could suit a variety of other uses including the keeping of livestock or for private equestrian use.
The property is in an extremely accessible location, situated about four miles north of the M4 services at Pont Abraham. The village of Tycroes has a chemist, village shop, take-a-ways and a public house (at the time of writing). Nearby Cross Hands has a Leeks department store and Aldi Supermarket, and Ammanford offers a wider range of independent shops and facilities.
