Hengrofft Hengrofft presents an opportunity to own an extraordinary piece of the Bannau Brycheiniog national park, situated five miles south of Llandeilo and twelve miles from the M4 connection. Extending to approximately 183 acres (gross), the farm comprises productive grassland sensitively farmed by the past three generations of the current occupiers. The farm is accessed via a sweeping drive leading through cattle grazing pasture and to a charming set of traditional buildings. The modern agricultural buildings are usefully separated from the house and yard. The private farm track continues up through specimen broadleaf trees and productive mowing fields and eventually to a gate onto the renowned Black Mountain range, on which the farm has common hill grazing rights. The Land The holding extends to approximately 183 acres in total, of which approximately 156 acres of land is identified as grassland and the remainder consisting of the farmstead, tracks and trees. The fields have supported a mixed grazing system, allowing cattle to graze for an extended season thanks to the favourable properties of the soil. These are freely draining slightly acid loamy soils, draining through a network of ditches into the Afon Cennen at the base of the farm. In addition to the grassland, the holding includes a number of wooded areas which provide shelter and shade to the grassland but also particularly special settings to enjoy spectacular vistas of the protected limestone valley and the rolling landscape beyond. These areas should align well with future agricultural support scheme payment options such as the management of existing woodland and natural habitat (subject to eligibility and scheme criteria). The land is subject to Public Footpath 44/055/1. House The farmhouse is of local stone construction and of a symmetrical layout with three good sized bedrooms on the first floor, two reception rooms to ground floor and kitchen and bathroom to the rear elevation of the property. The house offers an attractive outdoor patio area, garden to the rear and side and raised lawn area on a limewashed retaining wall to the front. The property is heated by an oil-fired central heating system. A coal fired aga provides supplementary heating in the kitchen and hot water. The house is double glazed throughout and enjoys wonderfully picturesque views across the yard and its lower pastures along the valley. Services Mains electricity (single phase) is connected to the property. The farm has a private water supply from a number of springs and holding tanks which serves the land buildings and farmhouse. The farmhouse is connected to a septic tank with field soakaway. Location The farm is situated to the south east of the town of Llandeilo (5 miles). From Llandeilo town centre, head south-east via the A483 over the River Tywi into Ffairfach. At the cross road traffic lights in Ffairfach turn left (signposted for Trapp / Bethlehem) and pass under the railway bridge. Immediately afterwards turn right onto the road marked “Trapp.” Follow this road through the community village of Trapp. Take the left turn (just before the bridge) signposted Gwynfe and Castell Carreg Cennen and continue up the lane for approximately three-quarters of a mile. Take the road on the right signposted Castell Carreg Cennen and follow this road until it bends right before the entrance to the castle carpark. Follow this council road for a further three quarters of a mile and to the end where the entrance to Hengrofft will be on your right.
