Manafon, Powys

Plas-Docyn is a privately located, small farm set in glorious Mid Wales countryside with good views overlooking the surrounding countryside and the Rhiew Valley. It is a well-shaped property providing privacy to the farmstead and farmhouse, which is located towards the centre of the farm. The comfortable farmhouse sits on the edge of the traditional and more modern range of buildings which are of use for agricultural, storage or equestrian purposes. The farmland lies around the house and is a mixture of flatter land with some sloping land, which provides for a variety of uses including grazing, fodder conservation and potential environmental greening and conservation purposes. Recently, parts of the land have been well fenced and blocked out with a view to using the property for equestrian purposes, and some of the buildings have been converted to suitable equestrian accommodation.
The farmhouse is a comfortable property with well-proportioned airy and light rooms and is well decorated, sitting to the side of the farmstead. The farm buildings are a mixture of storage and general-purpose buildings, some which have been converted for equestrian use, but provide a variety of storage and light industrial opportunities, subject to necessary consents. One of the brick buildings has received planning permission for a barn conversion.
The farmland lies in a number of convenient enclosures and paddocks, and recent emphasis has resulted in a number of larger fields being subdivided into equestrian paddocks, and this use could be further extended by purchasers.
It is a well laid out agricultural property with a number of flat and undulating fields with some steeper banks, with the opportunity to use these areas for grazing or environmental purposes.
