Bryn Bran is a well-presented four-bedroom detached farmhouse set within 5.5 acres of land, rich in history and full of character. Believed to date back to the 15th or 16th century, it is recognised as one of the oldest homes in Wales and proudly features in a book showcasing the country’s most historic properties! Ideally situated in the rural village of Ffarmers, the property enjoys beautiful countryside views and a peaceful, picturesque setting.
The property briefly comprises an entrance porch, a spacious kitchen/dining room, a comfortable living room, conservatory, utility room, ground floor bathroom, four double bedrooms—one with an en-suite—and a family bathroom upstairs. Externally, it offers approximately 4 acres of pasture and just over an acre of woodland, along with stables, a large workshop, a polytunnel, and ample parking. The land is fully fenced, making it ideal for keeping animals safely contained.
Ffarmers is a peaceful rural village with convenient local amenities, including the Drovers Arms pub, located within walking distance of the property. The historic market town of Lampeter is approximately 9 miles away and offers a range of shops, cafés, supermarkets and schooling. Carmarthen, around 28 miles distant, provides a wider selection of services and transport links.
The West Wales coastline is within reasonable reach, offering access to coastal paths and seaside towns. The area is well suited to equestrian and outdoor pursuits, with a network of bridle routes accessible from the property, allowing riding without the need to use main roads.
We have been advised that the property benefits from mains electricity, private spring-fed water (shared with the neighbouring property) with two separate holding tanks, and private sewerage via a septic tank.
