Erw Wastad Fawr, Tycroes, Ammanford

Description
In our opinion a rare opportunity to purchase this renowned stock farm ideally positioned and consisting of the three bedroomed centrally heated farmhouse which requires some updating with adjoining outbuildings, some of which may have potential to extend the existing accommodation subject to obtaining the necessary planning consent.

Ranges of mainly traditional farm outbuildings including a substantial stone built former cowshed which may have development potential (subject to planning). The farm area in total amounts to about 169.88 acres, the majority of which being useful level pasture adjoining the River Loughor on the eastern boundary and to the north east of the homestead the remainder of the land rises gently sloping.
