A prime coastal grassland holding of about 250 acres in West Wales. Additional land available by separate negotiation (about 80 acres).
Panttirion Farm is a substantial coastal dairy holding set in an outstanding position above Cardigan Bay, about three miles South of Cardigan. Extending to about 250 acres (including
Farmstead) of productive grassland, with a further c.80 acres available separately, the farm lies in a single easily managed block of free-draining loam and enjoys an elevated yet sheltered setting between Cardigan and Moylegrove. A private tarmac drive leads through the farmstead to the
traditional stone farmhouse and extensive range of modern and traditional agricultural buildings, forming a well-organised and highly functional centre to the holding. The current owners have occupied Panttirion Farm for almost 50 years, initially with a dairy herd but more recently with beef cattle, sheep and some cropping.
The Land
The holding extends to about 250 acres of productive grassland (net of farmstead c.243 acres) with a further c.80 acres available by separate negotiation. The land forms a substantial coastal block of pastureland rising between 400 and 600 feet above sea level. The land lies in a single,
coherent ring-fenced block, with fields arranged in generous workable parcels that are easily accessed from the central farmstead and internal tracks.
The majority of the land is classified as Grade 3b, with smaller proportions of Grade 4 and Grade 3a and is underpinned by freely draining loamy soils that support strong grass growth and reliable forage production. The farm includes pockets of woodland, traditional boundaries and small areas of non-agricultural ground offering scope for environmental or habitat-based options under future
agricultural support schemes. Several parcels benefit from natural water sources and established trough networks, and the land has historically supported a high-output dairy system. Although not certified, the land has been managed organically in recent years. Public footpaths cross parts of the
holding, PP87/19 and PP87/20. There are also three small pockets of designated Ancient Woodland along the Eastern boundary of the primary land holding.
Farmhouse
The farmhouse at Panttirion is a distinguished period home of considerable character, offering family accommodation that reflects the scale of the wider holding. Arranged over two floors and extending to about 3,329 sq ft, the house combines traditional stone construction and original features
with practical features including oil-fired central heating, wood burning stoves and well-proportioned living spaces.
The ground floor centres around a generous hallway leading to two principal reception rooms, each with exposed beams and feature fireplaces together with a large kitchen/dayroom that opens directly to the garden. A utility room, separate WC and access to a substantial cellar provide further functionality. The first floor offers five bedrooms, including a study/bedroom on the half-landing, and two bathrooms, creating a flexible layout suited to family living or multi-generational use.
Externally
Opposite the farmhouse lies an historic walled garden which contains both matured trees and replanted fruit trees, giving a reliable supply of cooking and dessert apples, pears and plums. Adjacent to the main house is the former farm office and flat arranged over two floors. The flat has been removed from the Council Tax following confirmation of structural issues. It remains in a dilapidated condition but historically provided a ground floor shower room, kitchen, living room and bedroom and on the first floor a large office area with separate w/c.
