Description

Cwmbern is a traditional and unspoilt coastal small farm occupying an idyllic valley position near the Ceredigion heritage coastline and only about 1.4 miles away from the stunning sandy beach at Tresaith. It is believed that the traditional and character farmhouse is thought to date c.1810 – 1830s, though the farm has existed from the early 17th century. Over the years the farmhouse has been adapted and improved, including Accoya double glazing to the front, and now provides a cosy and comfortable home while retaining its character and charm. The farmhouse sits at the head of a traditional old farmyard around which are a range of outbuildings including stone barns with conversion potential and some more modern outbuildings that suit a variety of uses.

The farm extends to about 57 acres and includes a valuable and interesting variety of land with fields suitable for cropping adjoining the road, other grazing fields and paddocks together with some pretty areas of deciduous woodland. A stream separates two of the fields and forms part of the boundary. From the top of the farm, a water system feeds tanks on the fields and taps on the yard and garden. In all, the property offers the opportunity for new owners to acquire a sizable holding offering both a delightful location to live in and exciting potential to adapt and look at other potential income streams (e.g. tourism diversification - stp - subject to planning) as well as small-scale farming.
