Location & Directions

The property is conveniently positioned at os Grid Ref sn 468 359 in a set back position near the A485 Lampeter to Carmarthen road and on a regular bus route and within easy travelling distance to good range of local amenities and towns including Llandysul, Newcastle Emlyn, Lampeter, Llanybydder and the administration and employment centre of Carmarthen to the south. The property enjoys good views over the paddocks and the village. Gwyddgrug is a small village on the main A485 road (originally a Roman road) roughly equidistant from the University towns of Carmarthen and Lampeter. In the Middle Ages it formed part of the lands of Talley Abbey and became the Grange of Gwyddgrug. The village is surrounded by farmland and agriculture is the main employment in the area. From Carmarthen take the A485 north as if heading towards Lampeter. Pass through the villages on Peniel, Rhydargaeau, Alltwalis and on to Gwyddgrug. In the village, proceed past Bro Nantlais on the left and continue up the hill for approx 100 yards and the entrance to Bryn Haul will be seen on the right and just before the bend.

Boundary Plan

Agents Notes

1. Given the location on the edge of the village, there will be a “Clawback Clause” in case a future buyer manages to get Planning Permission on the paddocks next to the road. This means that if the new owners manage to get Planning Permission for residential development in the next 25 years, 30% of any uplift in value will be due to the current owner.

2. Delfryn (the original farmhouse to the rear) has a right of way over the track “subject to payment of one half of the costs of repairing and maintaining the accessway”.

3. The Planning Application is currently at the consultation stage but a decision is now expected in June 2023 at the earliest.
