LAND
The farmland at The Garn Fawr Lot 2 has been farmed to a high standard by the current tenants. The land is set over three distinct compartments with the first compartment extending north of the bungalow, comprising two extensive level to gently rising field enclosures which are currently being used for arable being well suited to a range of winter and spring cereal cropping. Generally, the land has been used to grow a range of cereal crops and maize producing high yields and crops of good quality. The second compartment is positioned to the west of the properties with independent access from Glen Usk Road to the south featuring five extensive gently sloping and undulating field enclosures of permanent pasture with several compartments of woodland. The primary land parcel extends to the north-east and south of the yard and buildings and features 13 extensive field enclosures of permanent pasture which is gently sloping down to the south-east with river frontage to the River Usk to the south-east and several compartments of woodland.
