Barley Mount is a superbly located property enjoying excellent views of the Valley and majestic River Towy being formerly part of the Golden Grove / Cawdor Estates. The 600 year old house which is need of modernisation is found in the centre of the farm and offers amazing potential to create a stylish country residence. A perpetual fishing permit for Barley Mount & Glantowy Waters runs with the farm.

The surrounding 85 acres provides privacy and seclusion. The land is productive pasture land (currently let to a grazier) with the river bordering the farm. The brick built former dairy buildings, 2 cart houses and stable provide ample opportunity for redevelopment into additional living space, offices or leisure facilities as required, subject to obtaining the required planning consents. The agricultural portal frame buildings offer a multitude of potential uses.

Accommodation briefly includes 2 spacious reception rooms, kitchen, breakfast room and utility room to the ground floor plus 4 bedrooms and bathroom at first floor level. Fine rural views are enjoyed from all the windows. The property would benefit from sympathetic modernisation and offers the possibility of incorporating the adjoining former cart houses and stable into the principal accommodation to provide additional bedroom and living areas.

The house is surrounded by a reasonably enclosed cottage style garden and ample parking areas are available to both the front and rear of the property. The long tarmac lane to the farmhouse is wholly owned and there is additional access via the disused railway line which passes through the farm.

Llanarthne is a popular rural village conveniently located mid way between Carmarthen and Llandeilo which offer a wide range of facilities and services. Access to the M4 motorway and A40 is within easy driving distance.
