A grade II listed 4/5 bed Georgian farmhouse with a range of stone outbuildings with permission to convert these to three dwellings.  Set in a very quiet and secluded location, the property stands in approaching 4 acres and enjoys extensive views over beautiful open countryside.

This 18^th century farmhouse offers 4 bedroom accommodation on 2 floors with plenty of character.  The house is ideal for an extended family as it offers potential for being divided into two.  The accommodation comprises upstairs, 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and a large open landing area whilst downstairs there is a kitchen, living room, lounge, study and further open plan living area with lounge and utility area.

Dancapel has a long history and was farmed by Cistercian monks back in the Middle Ages, supplying food to Whitland Abbey.  The nearby church houses an Ogham Tablet thought to date back 1500 years, this is a carved stone tablet of early Celtic origin.  This was found on the farm.

EXTERNALLY

The property is approached down a track from a minor country road.  The track leads into a yard to the front of the house.  The original cobbled frontage is still in place

To the rear of the house is a large private garden with terrace and lawns.  There are open views from the rear of the house.

The garden continues around the side of the house.  Here there are lawns and borders and the remains of an old outbuilding, possibly the original house.  This would make the basis of a lovely ‘secret garden’.

The Outbuildings

There are three traditional stone barns at the property.  These lie across the yard from the house.  2 are joined together and a third stands on its own.

The barns have planning permission for conversion to three dwellings.  One to a 3 bed, one to a 2 bed and the third to a 1 bed.  Alternatively, planning could be resubmitted for a different configuration of the two attached barns.  They have tremendous potential for creating character properties.

To the rear of the larger barns is an area of grass and some woodland.  This would be ideal for garden for the properties.  To the rear of the smaller detached barn is an old orchard which would provide garden for this property.

In addition to the gardens around the house and barns, there is a further paddock of some 2 acres.  This is mainly gently sloping with a slightly steeper section towards one corner.

It would be possible to create a second entrance from the track to provide private access to the rear of the outbuildings

SERVICES

Mains electricity and private water are connected.  Private drainage.
