Situation
In an elevated position at Heol Capel Ifan the property takes its access from the B4317 and the driveway leads up to the residence which proudly overlooks the village of Pontyberem which is located between the larger towns of Carmarthen and Llanelli in the pretty Gwendraeth Valley. The village provides a good range of amenities which cater for all day to day needs to include a primary school, convenience store etc. The larger town of Crosshands lies some 3 miles or so from the property and offers a comprehensive array of services with the M4 connection at Pont Abraham being 5 miles distant from Crosshands making Heol Capel Ifan an excellent location if easy accessibility to the M4 is required.

We would advise that the property is very accessible to the 'Old Railway Line' which offers a beautiful walk and also provides excellent hacking which extends from Pontyates to Mynydd Mawr in Tumble.

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 does such an appealing equestrian property appear on the open market which offers a beautifully presented residence, land, menage and superb accessibility to the larger towns of the county and the M4 motorway.

Directions
From the B4317 roadway continue along Heol Capel Ifan, passing the right hand turning signposted Carmarthen/B4306 and within a 100 metres or so there will be a left hand turning which leads up to the smallholding passing number 12 Heol Capel Ifan. The driveway will lead up to the property.

Description
Tucked away in an elevated position, the smallholding extends to 4.5 acres or thereabouts which includes two fields laid to pasture, two smaller paddocks and the grounds which could be further enhanced if the paddocks were not used for equestrian purposes. The current vendors have improved the residence to provide a delightful family home which incorporates a lovely open plan living space which ideally compliments modern day living requirements. Nicely proportioned the accommodation briefly offers ample living space, 4 bedrooms, a wet room at ground floor level, family bathroom on the first floor and a very generous landing area being ideally suited for family occupation.

Due to the equestrian features at the property this smallholding should appeal to those looking for an equestrian unit, but this versatile smallholding would also be suitable to those looking for generous outside space and the detached garage which currently includes the tack room, workshop and the kennels could be used as a studio etc., therefore the options and potential are endless.
