Birchgrove, Swansea

Description
In our opinion a desirable small farm consisting of the modern centrally heated spacious three bedroomed bungalow with outlook over the land to the rear which, however, requires some updating. The property has the benefit of sundry loose boxes and outbuildings fronting a very generous sized concreted yard providing ample turning for livestock/feed lorries and parking.

The farmland is gently sloping pasture with woodland to the centre leading down to the southern boundary. In all the holding amounts to about 46.78 acres. The property is subject to an Agricultural Occupancy Condition.
