Nantyffin Road, Swansea

OVERVIEW

Overview
An excellent opportunity to acquire a private and naturally bright 2-bedroom smallholding extending to 7.257 acres (2.937 hectares), set in an attractive rural position surrounded by mature gardens, orchard areas and pockets of ancient oak woodland. Cefncoed Uchaf Farm enjoys a peaceful countryside setting with no immediate neighbours, offering strong lifestyle appeal and excellent scope for a range of uses.

The property includes a well‑presented 2-bedroom traditional farmhouse, benefitting from excellent natural light throughout, with sash windows, wooden flooring and a generously proportioned reception room. The accommodation has been improved with updated plumbing, a recently installed boiler, log burner, windows and modernised services, providing comfortable living with further potential for personalisation.

The holding benefits from a wide range of outbuildings, including a stone building immediately adjacent to the farmhouse, currently utalised for storage. A separate steel‑portal‑frame building, complete with a recently renewed roof and an adjoining lean‑to.

Opposite the main dwelling lies a further stone building, for which pre‑planning consent has been obtained for the development of two self‑catering holiday lets.

The land comprises a mixture of clean grazing land, suitable for grazing and cutting, with the remainder being improvable grazing land and semi-natured woodland and bushes, being a swarm for local wildlife.
