Welsh border upland livestock farm goes up for sale at £1.35 million
A 242-acre upland livestock farm near the Welsh border with North Shropshire is new on the property market with an asking price of £1.35 million.
Agents Halls are selling Pantglas Uchaf Farm, Moelfre, near Oswestry on behalf of Mr R. and Mrs D. M. Richards, who run a later lambing and suckler cow enterprise.
The farm comprises a spacious, period farmhouse with a yard of traditional farm buildings and around 242 acres of farmland. The farmhouse accommodation has great character and offers prospective purchasers a blank canvas to modernise according to their personal preferences.
The ground floor comprises a main hallway, two reception rooms, kitchen, living room, rear porch and shower room while upstairs there are five bedrooms and a bathroom. Attached to the side of the farmhouse is a garage with a storeroom above and there is also a detached two storey stone barn.
The traditional stone outbuildings, which are currently used for storage and livestock housing, have great potential for alternative usages, subject to planning consent. A modern, six-bay, multi-purpose livestock building and sheep handling set-up are situated a short distance from the farmhouse and are accessed by a hardcored track.
The buildings comprise a traditional two storey range with two sets of cow ties for eight with passages to rear and a store/loose box, a timber framed former poultry shed, single storey cow house with ties for 12 cows and storeroom, an attached timber framed, open fronted machinery store, two Dutch barns
The land ranges from lower level grazing meadows and pasture fields to higher upland grazing, with a steep sided valley interspersed with areas of planted coniferous shelter belts rising to around 1,700 ft at the summit.
“It’s unusual for such a well situated, substantial upland farm such as this to become available for sale in this area and we recommend an inspection to appreciate the location and potential that it has to offer,” said Halls’ director Allen Gittins, who is handling the sale.
The property is situated close to the hamlet of Moelfre, three miles from the village of Llansilin and eight miles from Oswestry.
