Directions: From Carmarthen proceed on the A485 towards Lampeter. Go through the village of Peniel and on reaching the flat stretch of road you will see the Gwalia Garage filling station on your left and immediately before it will be a right hand junction turning for ‘Horeb/Felingwm’. Turn here and proceed for ½ mile and the property will be seen on the right hand side, in a small cluster of properties, with our ‘For Sale’ board erected.

Description: The property can be described as a typical Welsh smallholding, which in years gone by would have been a self sufficient unit in its own right. It has a traditionally built stone/slate cottage with extension to one side and a range of adjoining outbuildings on the other, together with a separate range set opposite and both provide the potential for conversion purposes if desired. The cottage has had some upgrading works done to it in recent years, we are advised, being installation of UPVC double glazed windows and external front doors and re-wiring (no paperwork has been seen to verify this) and internally it still retains various character features, yet is a ‘blank canvas’, as regards to future works.

The land is level to gently sloping and all down to pasture and is currently run as one block and provides all year grazing for livestock. Boundaries are mainly fenced for cattle, with some sheep fenced aspects.
