GENERAL DESCRIPTION: Parc Clement is a traditional West Wales livestock farm, comprising a detached 3/4 bedroom farmhouse (requiring modernisation), a range of modern and traditional farm buildings, and three blocks of farmland, which extend in all to approximately 149.45 acres (60.48 hectares). The holding is situated in the scenic setting of North Pembrokeshire and enjoys far reaching views over the surrounding countryside. The farm was formerly a dairy holding, however, the outbuildings provide facilities for a variety of agricultural enterprises, and the traditional outbuildings have potential for some form of development, subject to grant of the necessary planning permission.
The farmland is contained in three blocks and is divided by two minor council highways, which provide roadside access to several of the enclosures. The farmland is generally slightly sloping in nature, and laid to pasture in the main. The division and layout of the land would facilitate lotting the holding, should parties wish to offer for part.
SITUATION: The property is situated in the north eastern corner of Pembrokeshire, in scenic rolling countryside below Frenni Fawr and Frenni Fach. It stands some 3 miles to the south east of Boncath village and approximately 1 mile to the north west of Bwlchygroes settlement. OS Grid Reference SN 2325 3710.
DIRECTIONS: From Boncath village square, take the road signposted ‘Bwlchygroes’. Proceed on this road for some 2.1 miles and then take a left hand turn immediately after passing Waunlwyd (a white house on roadside). Proceed on this road for some ¼ mile, thereafter the farm entrance can be located on the left hand side.
TENURE AND POSSESSION: The property is offered for sale freehold, and vacant possession will be available on completion.
SERVICES: The holding is connected to a mains electricity supply. The farm has its own private water supply (borehole) and a separate spring, which also serves two adjoining properties. The farmhouse is connected to a private drainage system. The farmhouse is registered Band E for Council Tax (£1,351.91 charge for 2017/18).
EASEMENTS, RIGHTS OF WAY AND WAYLEAVES: We understand the owner of neighbouring property Henparcau has a vehicular right of passage over the Parc Clement farm track, to access their own holding. We understand the owners of neighbouring properties Blaenbwlan and Henparcau have a right to extract water from the Parc Clement private well supply (not the separate private borehole supply), however, this consumption has to be reasonable, and Parc Clement is recognised as the primary user. There are several electricity poles and overhead lines crossing over the holding. We assume there are wayleaves in place for these items. We understand there is a gas pipeline crossing the southern section of the holding. The holding is traversed by one bridleway and three public footpaths. Further information regarding the third party rights can be obtained from the seller’s solicitor.
BASIC PAYMENT SCHEME (BPS): The BPS entitlements are not being sold with the farm, however, they could be made available, subject to separate negotiation. The holding is not currently part of any agri-environment management scheme.
DEVELOPMENT POTENTIAL: The traditional stone-built farm buildings do have potential for some form of development, subject to the applicant obtaining the necessary planning consents and building regulations approval. There are planning policies for the conversion of traditional farm buildings in the Pembrokeshire Local Development Plan (adopted 28th February 2013). Interested parties should forward any planning related enquiries to Pembrokeshire County Council, County Hall, Haverfordwest, SA61 1TP. Telephone 01437 764551 [email protected]
