Carol Peett from West Wales Property Finders says: “The old-fashioned lifestyle of being at one with nature and the soil has become very much in vogue but with all the modern conveniences of large electric Agas and woodburners to come back to from the fields.”
Farmhouses can make perfect family homes and, as small dairy farmers are being squeezed out of the market by the big supermarkets, large farmers are buying up swathes of land leaving many of the farmhouses surplus to requirements….
Peett concludes: “The realities of buying a former farm may mean it’s bang next to an actual working farmyard with the accompanying noise and odours. This is someone’s livelihood and the rural idyll you may have dreamt of may be just that — a dream.”
