A 200,000-bird poultry farm, with multiple houses and its own 19th Century five-star guesthouse is up for sale in what is being described as “a rare opportunity”.  

Grevodig, Vronganllwyd and Ddole Farms, plus Cwmllechwedd Fawr, near Llanbister are up for sale as a whole or as eight separated lots.

Estate agents Strutt and Parker who are handling the sale say the property is “a substantial and versatile arable and stock farm in mid Wales with operational broiler unit for up to 228,000 birds, offering significant potential for agricultural and alternative land uses.”

OTHER NEWS:

The main house on the farm Cwmllechwedd Fawr is described as “an imposing well-positioned country house considered the principal house in the area, set in an elevated position with far-reaching views over the valley below and hills beyond.”

The house comes with about 15.6 acres and includes a one-bedroom detached cottage and a range of traditional and modern farm buildings. The house sits well in generous attractive gardens including an orchard, former kitchen garden with timber frame glasshouse and a nature garden.

County Times:

It retains many original features such as moulded plaster covings, flagstone floors and an impressive feature fireplace. It is believed to date from the early 1800s and is currently run as a five-star bed and breakfast but could “work as a family home or a more formal residence.”

It also comes with more “modern environmentally conscious aspects such as roof mounted solar panels to assist with heating water”.

Ddole Farm comes with about 38 acres and a broiler unit comprising five sheds with systems in place to house up to 228,000 birds.

The current owners run the poultry business and currently have a contract to supply Maelor Foods Ltd which may be transferable to the buyer.

It also comes with a three-bedroom bungalow with kitchen-dining room and living room, WC and utility room. There is also an attached garage which could be extended subject to the necessary consents.

County Times:

Immediately next door to the main house is a detached cottage known as The Cwtch, this provides an open plan living space incorporating kitchen, living area and dining area on the first floor as well as the bathroom.

Grevodig Farm comes with about 219 acres and is run as a mixed arable and stock farm. The land has been “continuously improved” through good husbandry with about 190 acres currently in arable cropping or temporary grass.

The farm includes a four-bedroom farmhouse and range of useful modern livestock buildings. On the ground floor there are “two generous reception rooms, a study, shower room and spacious kitchen/dining room which opens out onto a patio. On the first floor are four bedrooms, one en-suite and a family bathroom.”

The second lot, Vronganllwyd Farm, comes with 280 acres of mixed arable and livestock farmland and forms the second farming base. It also includes a four-bedroom farmhouse which is set in an elevated position part way up the valley side, with far-reaching views over the farm and hills beyond.
