Property description

Godor Farm is an impressive Carmarthenshire stock farm of about 161 acres (stms- subject to measured survey) that has been well maintained and improved by the current owners over the years. The original part of the farmhouse is thought to date c.17th century and has been extended and renovated in c.1996 to provide an imposing and substantial home with extensive living accommodation. Over time the traditional farm buildings have been complemented by several large modern outbuildings for the housing of livestock and the storage of feed and farm machinery. The most recent addition being an impressive 10-bay cattle shed with covered feed passage.



The farmyard benefits from a recently installed security camera system.



The farm was run as a dairy farm in the past by the owner's father but has since been successfully farmed as a beef and sheep livestock farm. The farm currently has 120 cows and store cattle although the excellent range of modern livestock buildings can accommodate in excess of 200 cattle. The farm also currently has 200 sheep together with 500 sheep on tack half of which will be leaving mid March. Further adjoining and off-lying farmland is available by separate negotiation if required - about 40 acres (stms).
