A rare opportunity to purchase by public auction an excellent grassland farm suitable for Beef & Sheep farming together with a finely situated farmhouse and an excellent range of modern & traditional farm buildings in an outstanding location.
McCartneys have been favoured with instructions to offer by Public Auction Cwmgilla Farm, Knighton, Powys. Situated 1 mile from Knighton the farm is a most productive livestock rearing holding which is held in high esteem and has a reputation for producing top quality commercial livestock.
Cwmgilla is located in the beautiful Radnorshire countryside south west of Knighton. The towns of Llandrindod Wells and Leominster are 19 miles distant, with Ludlow being 17 miles, Newtown 22 miles and Hereford 32 miles.
The farm is offered as a whole by Public Auction (unless previously sold and subject to conditions) on Thursday 22nd May 2014 at The Knighton Hotel, Knighton at 6pm.
It comprises a modern five bedroomed farmhouse set in a quiet position with good views, a substantial range of modern buildings with sheep and cattle handling systems, a traditional stone barn together with 427.56 acres of pasture and woodland. The pasture land, some of which has grown arable/root crops in the past amounts to 390 acres together with 37 acres of traditional mature woodland. There is great sporting potential with the woodland which blends wonderfully with the carp fishing pool.
The Auctioneer and Agent, Jenny Layton Mills, who is handling the sale says that 'this is one of the largest units sold as a whole by public auction in Radnorshire for a very long time'. She adds 'this is a rare opportunity to purchase a good farm with many opportunities by the most transparent method of sale – public auction.'
'The farm has not been placed on the open market since 1950 and it is a pleasure to be able to offer it as a whole with so many farms getting split up these days.'
Cwmgilla Farm is an excellent livestock rearing holding but has many opportunities for additional livestock buildings (subject to planning) and sporting potential with the woodland and carp pool. It should be of interest to farmers and investors alike.
