General

Ty Newydd, Manian Fawr is a modern farming unit and is offered for sale due to the retirement of the owners.
The farm has been developed over the late 1980's and early 1990's to provide a highly impressive range of well thought and laid out steel frame buildings providing coverage of just under 1.5 acres across a 3 acre farm yard. The development of the farm is down to the current owners who have invested greatly not only financially, but years of tremendous hard labour to develop what is today an outstanding coastal farming unit.

The farm benefits from a modern 5/6 bed family home constructed in the early 1990's and benefits from its own tarmacadam entrance separate to the main farm yard entrance. The property enjoys a wonderful outlook over the coast and countryside.

The farm buildings have been designed to incorporate an integrated slatted slurry system which lead to a 750,000 (minimum) gallon slurry store area.

These modern buildings accommodate over 400 cubicles with central handling and feeding areas running through the spine of the outbuildings and linking to the milking parlour. The layout of the outbuildings offer a completely private setting for operating the farm with no overlooking from the adjoining roadway. The farm is well disguised and well sheltered from the coastline.

The land sits above the farm and is served by a central gravel track with 3 separate access points off the entrance roadway. The initial block covers some 220 acres of which 35 acres or so are mature woodland which provides shelter for grazing animals and is an integral part of the grazing plan of the farm.

Immediately adjoining the southern boundary of the farm is a further 110 acres or thereabouts which are available subject to negotiation. This is also a highly productive area of grassland with interconnecting gates, feature pond and separate roadside frontage access.
