Situation
Enjoying an elevated position, boasting lovely countryside views across the Gwendraeth Valley, the property is conveniently located and within easy car driving distance of village facilities with the villages of Tumble and Pontyberem being only a mile or so distant which both offer a good range of facilities which cater for all day to day needs. The larger town of Crosshands lies some 2 miles from the property and offers a comprehensive array of services with the M4 connection at Pont Abraham being 5 miles distant from Crosshands making this an excellent location if easy accessibility to the M4 is required.

The larger towns of the area such as Carmarthen and Llanelli are also within easy car driving distance (10 miles and 8 miles respectively from the property) and offer a wide range of services and amenities including numerous shopping centres with national retailers. Very rarely do rural properties appear on the open market which offer such superb accessibility to the larger towns of the county and the M4 motorway.

Directions
From the end of the M4 motorway continue to the main Crosshands roundabout and turn left, continue down to the traffic lights and proceed straight on up the hill into Upper Tumble and turn right proceeding down into Tumble and turn left into Bethesda Road. A location plan is attached to the sales particulars and a for sale board will be erected on site.

Description
Enjoying a lovely countryside aspect, this detached farmhouse occupies a prominent and slightly elevated position overlooking farmland and open countryside. Generous lawned grounds and a patio area are seen to the rear which offer a lovely place to relax. The farmhouse has been improved and offers spacious living accommodation, a newly fitted kitchen together with 4 bedrooms on the first floor, being ideally suited for family occupation. One of the many attractive features of Sodom Farm are the excellent range of farm buildings which are nicely positioned away from the residence, combining both modern and traditional stone buildings which no doubt offer considerable conversion appeal, subject to gaining the necessary consents. We believe that this smallholding is ideally suited as an equestrian property or equally suited for the rearing of livestock and the land is conveniently situated in a ring fence. To fully appreciate what this property has to offer, an early viewing is highly recommended and the property is described in more detail (approx. dimensions only):
