Viewing Instructions: Strictly By Appointment Only General Description

Gwernant Lodge is a detached 3 / 4 bed bungalow, set in approximately 16 acres of clean, flat pasture. it has an extensive range of outbuildings, including barns, stores, workshops, livestock buildings and a stone building with conversion potential (subject to consents). It further benefits from an established CCCL site - a small camping site for 5 touring vans plus tents, licensed by the Caravan and Camping Club.

The accommodation is on one floor and briefly comprises a porch, hall, living room, dining room, kitchen / breakfast room, cloakroom, bathroom and 4 bedrooms, one of which is currently used as a study. The property benefits from central heating and double glazed windows.

The property sits alongside a B road, giving good access for the camping field and offering excellent opportunity for gate sales of eggs and produce for the keen smallholder. The excellent range of buildings gives scope for the purchaser to develop the smallholding further towards the holiday business, if desired, or to fully embrace self-sufficiency in terms of livestock and produce, to a greater or lesser extent, depending upon personal preference.

The property is about 4 miles from the bustling market town of Newcastle Emlyn, which has a good range of facilities: schools, leisure centre, library, churches, shops, banks etc. It is just a 15 minute drive from Aberporth and a 20 minute drive from New Quay, both popular villages on the Cardigan Bay coast.

To the front, side and rear of the bungalow are pleasant gardens, laid mainly to lawn with mature shrubs and flower borders. From the gardens, there are fine, far- reaching views over open countryside.

Greenhouse

Behind the Dutch Barn is an area of hardstanding, which used to be the site of a static caravan. Connections for water, electricity and drainage are still in place should the purchaser wish to re-instate one. Permission was for casual use only, not for full residential.

The Land

The land extends to approximately 16 acres in total. It comprises the house, gardens and yard and 5 fields of flat, clean pasture. There are mains-fed water troughs in each field.

Two fields have road access. One of these is used as the camping field, under licence from the Caravan and Camping Club. This allows for up to 5 caravans or motorhomes and any number of tents, on a year-round basis. The site is well established and benefits from a good rate of repeat business.

Please Note:

A neighbouring farm has a right of access through the yard to its field. In practice this right is rarely exercised as the farm has alternative access.
