Extreme renovation burnt out farmhouse with 22 acres of land going to auction with guide price of £200k
It's an uninhabitable home but comes with potential, barns, oodles of land and a great location
It's going to need a bit of work

It's been abandoned and neglected and is uninhabitable but there is a chance to save this property but its land and location surely makes it worth it?
But it's going to take more than a few hours and a lick of paint to revive this former farmhouse but the reward after the power tools have been put away and the builders have gone is a rural retreat nestled within 22 acres of peaceful land.
‌
The abandoned property is just a burnt out shell so vision, budget, time and a good architect are going to all be available for a new owner to bring this home back to life - and when that's finished there are extra buildings within the grounds to consider.

These bonus outbuildings are two stone built barns within the setting of the house, each detached and having potential to become extra dwellings for extra members of the family or even a duo of holiday lets - all subject to achieving planning consent of course.
And in true Grand Designs style, there is, of course, a caravan on site for you to stay while you do the work - probably through the wettest, windiest, coldest winter on record. The static caravan comes with the sale of the farmhouse, barn and land and is a bonus that very few auction renovation lots can offer.

But first you have to find the farmhouse and then get to it - hidden away at the end of dead end lane the journey to the front door, or what's left of it, might be an experience in itself as the estate agent states 'a 4x4 vehicle is preferred' and that 'the hard based road servicing the property should be negotiation with caution'. In addition viewings of the fire damaged house are strictly prohibited without a company agent.
Morgan and Davies estate agents Lampeter who are selling the property in conjunction with Auction House Wales describe this auction package as, 'a delightfully set residential smallholding, sadly neglected with burnt out former farmhouse in 22.27 acres of surrounding land, much of which has rewilded, including pockets of mature woodland, hard based private farm lane and various water features'.

The location is one of this property's massive selling points - it comes with its own substantial parcel of land and its neighbour is the Carmel National Nature Reserve, a tranquil landscape which is a described by Carmel Nature Reserve as 'comprising a mosaic of habitats with a distinct patchwork pattern of woodland blocks and unimproved and semi-improved hay meadows'.
There's a pub down the road and this A road that is found at the end of the property's lane can also whisk you away to Gower peninsula, Llanelli and Swansea in one direction and Llandeilo and Carmarthen in the other direction.

The closest places to grab a pint of milk or socialise with the locals is the village of Carmel literally up the road and Cross Hands, which is about two miles away. The rural and coastal gems of Carmarthenshire can be easily explored and enjoyed from this secluded spot but there's plenty to keep a new owner occupied for a while at this extreme renovation site.
The agent adds, 'this is a beautifully situated smallholding offering complete seclusion and tranquillity yet easily accessible from the main road network and communities of the region and within easy commuting distance of principal towns'.
