Description

Clarborough Farm is currently used as a beef livestock farm but offers the potential for other farming enterprises including dairy. In all, it extends to about 178 acres (stms – subject to measured survey) and consists of productive pastureland in a ring fence with manageable enclosures for livestock and accessible by modern machinery. The farm is currently rented out on a Farm Business Tenancy which expires on 31/3/2022. There is a large attractive bungalow at the farm that offers generous accommodation space (356 square meters). This bungalow is currently subject to an AOC (Agricultural Occupancy Condition). It is separately rented to another tenant on an Assured Shorthold Tenancy Agreement. The original farmhouse for the farm is on the eastern edge of the farmstead and is currently in a derelict state having been unoccupied for many years. However, it has been maintained to a level where planning permission will not be required to re-instate it into habitable accommodation with four bedrooms.

Bungalow
Halfway down the farm lane on the right is the attractive main residence. This property offers substantial accommodation space with views over the surrounding countryside. It includes two reception rooms, large modern fitted kitchen with Aga, separate spacious utility room with larder, four bedrooms (one en suite). Stairs lead to an extensive boarded attic room/play room and separate storage room (potential for conversion by adding Velux windows stp - subject to planning). Integral double garage with one door fitted with remote controlled opening. It enjoys large landscaped grounds with ample parking area. The south facing lounge has patio doors which lead onto lawned garden and overlooks the farm and open countryside with the Cleddau estuary in the distance.

Original Farmhouse
On the eastern edge of the farmstead is the original derelict stone built farmhouse. This is a substantial and characterful building and offers an exciting opportunity to restore it to its former glory. We have been informed by the owners that the local authority confirmed that planning permission will not be required to reinstate it as it has been maintained to an adequate level with the roof kept in a state that stops water ingress.
Farmyard & Outbuildings
The farmyard has developed over time to suit the farming practices taking place there. There is a range of traditional stone barns (double and single storey) that are currently used for storage and workshops but have conversion potential (stp). They had wood worm treatment in April 2013 and from then a 30 year guarantee from Rentokill. In addition there is a good number of modern outbuildings that offer excellent accommodation for livestock, feed and machinery. These modern outbuildings include:

General purpose building, steel framed five bay, open on one side, under a corrugated roof with rendered infill block walls and Yorkshire board cladding to three elevations. Part slatted floor. Approx. 105 feet by 65 feet. Currently used for cattle housing. To the side is a concrete yard with a cattle handling race.

Timber cow kennels for 31 in number with a box profile type roof with concrete yard adjoining.
Hay/machinery/workshop shed – three bay, steel framed, with infill rendered block walls with sheet cladding and corrugated cladding. Lockable roller doors on front side. Approx.60 feet by 45 feet.

Cattle shed, steel framed, seven bay, with a central feed passage under a corrugated roof with rendered infill block walls and Yorkshire board cladding. Slatted floor. Approx. 105 feet by 45 feet.
Silage yard with three open pits divided by concrete shuttered walls with effluent collected in a 16 cubic meter underground tank. Silo tower
Slurry pits system
The owners employed a consultant to review the farm infrastructure in 2020 and recommendations from the report were implemented to make the farm compliant with The Water Resources (Control of Pollution) (Silage, Slurry and Agriculture Fuel Oil) (Wales) Regulations 2010 and the new 2021 Nitrate Vulnerable Zones regulations. The farm has two dedicated slurry pits taking in and storing manure from the cattle housing on the yard in addition to storage under the slatted floors in two sheds. In total there is in excess of 1750 cubic meters of usable slurry storage. Rainwater from the lane and clean areas of the farmyard is collected and diverted away from the slurry stores and piped across the field below the farmyard to be fed into the brook.
The Land
The farmstead lies near the centre of its ring-fenced land allowing quick access to all parts of the farm. In all, it extends to about 178 acres (stms) and consists of productive pastureland in a ring fence with manageable enclosures for livestock and machinery.

Each reading is based on the highest predicted speed of any major broadband network for services that deliver the download speeds. The following are the different readings that we may display:

    Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
    Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s
    Ultra-fast: Over 300 Mbit/s

    The data is updated three times a year. The checker results are predictions and should not be regarded as guaranteed. For more information, see: https://checker.ofcom.org.uk/en-gb/about-checker#Answer_0_2

    Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength

    Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:

    Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
    Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
    Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
    Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
    Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
