Property Details

BRYNDYNOD FARM

Bryndynod Farm is a productive livestock farm with an attractive 4 bedroom farmhouse in need of modernisation with delightful views over the Powys countryside, together with modern and traditional farm buildings (with conversion potential subject to planning permission) and approximately 139.30 acres of productive and level land which is all in pasture at present. The farm is situated within the renowned stock-rearing area of mid-Powys, being conveniently situated for the market towns of Builth Wells 2 miles, Llandrindod Wells 8 miles, Kington 22 miles, and Hereford 40 miles.

Bryndynod Farm has been farmed by the late Mr. A F Jones and his family for a number of years. In recent times the land has carried a good level of suckler cows and breeding ewes, producing good quality livestock. It comprises an attractive 4 bedroomed house, which would benefit from modernisation, and occupies a level position adjacent to the traditional and some of the modern farm buildings. The house and buildings have good access onto a council maintained road leading directly to the A483 road from Llandovery to Builth Wells. There is a good range of traditional and modern farm buildings which are more than adequate for the accommodation of livestock, machinery and fodder storage farmed on the 139.30 acres of productive land.

There is a traditional building adjacent to the farmhouse, which may have development potential for other usage subject to obtaining local planning authority permission.

The farm offers a unique opportunity to purchase a livestock farm of 139.30 acres, together with a good quality country home and an extreme range of traditional and modern farm buildings.

THE LAND

The land is level and gently sloping and is currently laid down to pasture. Some of the fields would also grow good arable crops if required. The land is divided into conveniently sized enclosures offering excellent grazing for livestock. There is a brook which runs along the southern boundary of the holding which provides a natural water supply for livestock grazing on the land. The fields are enclosed by mixed species hedges or post and netting fencing, and the boundaries are in a reasonable state of condition. The land has good access to the homestead as well as directly onto the council maintained road leading to the A483 and Builth Wells.

The land is all classified by Defra as predominantly Grade 4. The land lies approximately 740ft above sea level. The land would also have the opportunity to connect to the Bore Hole water supply located at the farmhouse.
