As you approach the house, you pass the main outbuilding which is divided in two. From the parking area there is access to a garage which was formerly the cart shed. This measures approx 5.35m x 4.5m (17'7" x 14' 9") and has a concrete floor, power connected. There is also a tap just outside.
Adjoining this to the rear is a block / corrugated barn. This measures approx 18m x 5m (63'0" x 16'6") and has a hayloft over one section. This building also houses the borehole filtering equipment.
To one side of the house there are two log stores.
The land surrounds the property with approximately 11 acres to the left hand side as you approach the property and a further 1 acre to the other side of the house. The land slopes away gently from the house.
It is mainly pasture but there is approx 1 acre of woodland to the lower boundary.
The land is currently used for grazing sheep and there are 2 pens and handling facilities in front of the barn.

The access track to the property is jointly owned by our clients and the couple who live along the access lane in Horseshoe Cottage also a local farmer has partial access along the access lane into one of his fields.
From Carmarthen take the A40 towards Llandeilo. When you reach the roundabout at Llandeilo, take the first exit towards Llandovery and then take the first left fork towards Talley. Continue for 1.5km and take the left turn signposted Salem. At the end of the road, turn right sign-posted Salem. Proceed through Salem and when you leave the village, take the left turn at the x-roads signposed Abergorlech. Continue to the end of the road and then turn left sign-posted Abergorlech. After approximately 2km, you will see a left-turn for Abergorlech on a right bend. Here, you need to take the road "not suitable for heavy good vehicles", effectively straight ahead. Stay on this road for approximately 1 mile. The entrance track to Cathilas Farm is on the right-hand side, just before a farm. Follow the track to the very end until you reach the property (there is a couple who live along the track before you reach Cathilas Farm which is great for security) .
