Farm Buildings
The farm buildings are typical of a progressive farmstead development and comprise a range of traditionally constructed buildings alongside modern portal frame livestock sheds etc. although all are now in need of significant improvement in order to realise their potential. The buildings can briefly be summarised as a former milking parlour of block walls under a corrugated asbestos roof, stone range under a combination of asbestos and slate roof, various open fronted sheds being of steel frame construction with various styles of cladding affording hay sheds, livestock sheds and general storage.

Land
A plan of the land is attached for identification purposes only. The land comprises a parcel of land that is typical of the area being predominantly level in profile and having a reasonable depth of soil but is suitable for arable or grazing purposes. The land is all conveniently located to the farmstead and is reasonably well fenced and gated, although some areas will require improvement and is a block of early productive land. We would estimate over 80 acres is clean with the remainder being coastal slope, lanes, and the farmstead - subject to confirmation.

We understand the property has the benefit of mains water and electricity although drainage to the residence will be to a private system. There is no central heating provision within the residence.

Wayleave agreement for electricity poles.

There is a deed of easement in favour of Eastfield farm, over Musslewick for access to water pipes and meter.

GENERAL REMARKS
Eastfields comprises a traditional Pembrokeshire coastal farm in a setting that requires personal inspection in order to be fully appreciated.

The farm occupies a private setting that lies within easy reach of the coastal village of Dale, and also Marloes and St Ishmaels. Haverfordwest and Milford Haven also being within easy reach.

Approached on a compacted stone and earth driveway, the farmstead is located in the centre of the holding and includes the residence and the buildings. The farmhouse does now require updating, has a wealth of character and offers purchasers the opportunity to put their own stamp on the present accommodation. The farm buildings may well have some conversion potential, subject to the necessary consents being obtained. The land is suitable for arable or grazing purposes and leads on to the coastline, and there is a ready demand within the location for land to rent if required.
