Trefwrdan Isaf Farm
A farm near Newport in the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park, bequeathed to the Wildlife Trust of South and West Wales in 2002 is to be auctioned in October.
Trefwrdan Isaf Farm includes a three-bedroom house, 72 acres of grassland and a range of farm buildings. It was left to the Trust as a financial asset for the benefit of looking after the wildlife and wild places of South Wales. The land, which until recently was worked as a dairy farm, is not especially wildlife-rich but its financial value will be of great assistance in furthering the work of The Wildlife Trust of South and West Wales, which currently manages over 90 nature reserves covering 4,000 acres including Skomer and Skokholm islands. Situated less than four miles from Newport and half a mile from the sea, the farm has views to the Preseli Hills. Its use as a traditional dairy farm is just one of the options for the future. Its location and wide range of outbuildings offer potential for holiday accommodation or as a family smallholding. Planning permission has been granted on an adjoining stone barn to extend the accommodation of the farmhouse. The Pembrokeshire Coast is renowned for its spectacular scenery, wildlife and beaches. “Miss Patterson’s bequest of the farm was most generous and its sale will support the conservation work of the Wildlife Trust. This is a lasting legacy that will help us protect a number of rare habitats and species, as well as the equally lovely but not so rare habitats and hundreds of species that all our nature reserves support,” says Sarah Kessell, chief executive officer of the South and West Wales Wildlife Trust. The property will be sold at public auction on Friday 2 October 2009 at the Black Lion Hotel, Cardigan at 2.30pm (unless previously sold). Agents are JJ Morris and Chester Master. Private treaty asking price is £550,000. |
