5 EXTERNALLY: APPROACH: CAR PORT: DOUBLE GARAGE & WORKSHOP: GREENHOUSE: GARDEN SHED: GARDENS & GROUNDS: LOCALITY: The property is approached along a council-maintained country road that leads north-westerly from Llandovery towards Cilycwm in the upper Towy Valley. The property is about a mile from the town and has two walled and timber gated entrances off the road, one with a cattle grid, both leading into a sizeable forecourt surfaced with attractive Cotswold chippings, providing ample parking and turning space and access to the double garage, car port, and the paved portico entrance porch. Open-fronted single car port between the main residence and the annexe x 23. Situated to one side of the property in an area partly screened off by hedging, being of block construction with a tiled roof, part brick and part rendered elevations and electric up-and-over double-width vehicular door. Separate Workshop area. Power and lighting connected throughout. 12 x 9. Within the kitchen garden adjacent to the garage. 10 x 8. Also in the kitchen garden area. Garden tap. LPG gas storage tank. At the rear of the property is a large, full-width, two-tiered paved terrace a superb space to relax and enjoy the fabulous views across the pasture fields and wooded hedgerows of the picturesque Towy Valley to the distant Brecon Beacons. From here a large area of lawn slopes down to the property s rear perimeter and a path continues round to a further expanse of lawn on two levels bounded by hedging to the lane providing a pleasant side garden with a natural wildflower area. There are enclosed sheltered garden areas on either side of the garage, including a productive kitchen garden with greenhouse and shed to one side and fruit trees to the other. The gardens also include several well stocked herbaceous beds and borders and a selection of shrubs. We are informed that the property sits in a plot of approximately half an acre (to be confirmed). The name Llandovery means the church amidst the waters since the town is surrounded by four rivers the Towy, the Bran, the Gwydderig and the Y Bawddwr. This fertile region is predominantly dependent on farming, forestry, and tourism. The town was once a vital centre for cattle drovers as they journeyed to the English markets, and to accommodate their money, the very first bank in Wales was established in Llandovery s market square The Bank of the Black Ox. The remains of the Norman Castle on a hillock near the Heritage Centre are easily accessible. The motte and bailey castle was built around 1116 by Richard Fitz Pons and overlooks the river Bran and the market square. In recent times, a monument was erected at the foot of the castle to Llywelyn ap Gruffydd Fychan (the Welsh martyr executed in 1401 for helping Owain Glyndwr in the fight for independence against Henry IV). The celebrated 18 th Century Welsh hymn writer, William Williams (Pantcelyn), was born here and is buried at Llanfair church at the northern edge of town, which is within the earlier site of a Roman fort and settlement (Alabum). The Llandovery area offers opportunities for a range of outdoor activities such as walking, cycling, horse riding, bird-watching, canoeing, fishing, golf, etc., with Brecon Beacons National Park, Crychan Forest, and the Cambrian Uplands almost on the doorstep. There are numerous places to visit within easy driving distance. Access to the A48/M4-link road is about 22 miles away and the county town of Carmarthen is 28 miles distant with excellent shopping, multi-screen cinema, general hospital, and main line railway station. Brecon is 22 miles away, famous for its medieval cathedral and heritage centre, Georgian architecture, ancient Christ College boarding school, annual jazz festival, and scenic surroundings. The coast is about an hour s drive. Dol Hywel, Llandovery, Carmarthenshire Page 5 of 6
