PLEASE COPY AND PASTE BELOW LINK ONTO YOUR COMPUTER TO OPEN VIDEO: http://search.savills.com/property-detail/gbcfrscrs160149#/r/detail/GBCFRSCRS160149 A superb opportunity to acquire a well-established holiday letting and livery business in Llangennith, Gower, Swansea. The 1600's farmstead was previously a derelict sheep and cattle farm and was purchased by its current owners in 1987. Due to the commitment and investment from the owners, Tankey Lake Livery has flourished and developed into three stunning self-catering cottages as well as a cosy owner's farmhouse and a popular livery business. Tankey Lake Livery is managed by the two current owners and a small handful of cleaning staff that provide the excellent customer service that has resulted in regular referrals and recommendations from guests. The Livery business has an existing licensee who would be prepared to enter into a new arrangement with the purchaser. The livery yard is accredited by the British Horse Society and was awarded "Highly Commended" across the majority of the inspection areas demonstrating the excellent standard of livery facilities available at the farmstead. An overview of the opportunity is as follows: Well established and renowned holiday letting and livery location set in approximately 30 acres of land (stms - subject to measured survey) to include all of the farm machinery as listed. Four bedroomed modernised farmhouse (owner's accommodation). Three stunning self-catering cottages with bespoke features as well as owner's accommodation. Income generated from a BHS approved livery business. Benefits from reputation and regular referrals. Potential to develop farming and related activities. In addition to this, planning permission has also been granted for a sixth barn/indoor dressage arena. Our clients now wish to sell due to their desire to retire. These 1 and 2 bedroom cottages operate as the prime business for the owners with a separate livery service rented out to a third party. The livery yard also offers the opportunity for horse riding lessons, equestrian laundry service, horse box hire and grazing for tack sheep. Viewing Strictly by appointment with Savills.

Golyga ei ddaeareg fod ynddo amrywiaeth ysblennydd o olygfeydd o fewn ardal gymharol fechan, o olygfeydd carreg galch Pen Pyrrod, Three Cliffs Bay ac Oxwich Bay yng nglannau’r de i halwyndiroedd a thwyni tywod y gogledd.

Canlyniad y golygfeydd eithriadol a’r traethau tywodlyd, euraidd wrth droed y clogwyni yw bod yr ardal yn denu ymwelwyr yn eu miloedd.

  • Today We Are at Llangennith and May I Remind You of The
    Today we are at Llangennith and may I remind you of the pre-concert talk at 6pm in Llangennith village hall when Griff Harries, one of our committee, will be talking about Adelina Patti. This talk will last an hour and will be fully illustrated. It promises to be a real treat and not to be missed! The shuttle bus will be running from the top of the hill as you approach Llangennith both before and after the concert - look for the Gower Festival signs as you approach the village. There are still a few tickets left for tonight’s concert if you, or anyone you know, would still like to come. We had a visit from the Wales International Academy of Voice two years ago and they were superb, so do come along if you can otherwise you will miss a real treat! This concert is being sponsored by Susan and John Medwell. On Thursday we will also have a shuttle bus running as we are in Llanrhidian. Parking will be in Mr and Mrs Dunn’s field on the road between Reynoldston and Llanrhidian. Again, look out for the Gower Festival signs. We are very grateful to Mr and Mrs Dunn for once again letting us use their field. This concert will be with the Carducci Quartet and is a sell-out! There will be a porta-loo at the church in case anyone needs to use it and Cheers will be in attendance with their usual offerings! Thursday’s concert is being sponsored by Andrew Davies and by Swansea Timber and Plywood.
