Dating back over 300 years, Rhoslwyd has been owned by the same family since 1977. It has been fully modernised in recent years and provides a bright and comfortable family home. It also occupies a particularly attractive setting at the end of a long private drive, with no immediate near neighbours. In recent years the land has been used for hay cropping and sheep grazing, and it is suitable for virtually any small livestock enterprise or private equestrian use.
The property is situated about one mile from the picturesque village of Talley, which is renowned for its beautiful setting amongst rolling hills with lakes and medieval abbey remains. There are excellent local walks and cycle routes, as well as a primary school and pop up shop in the village. The neighbouring village Cwmdu is famed for its historical National Trust owned public house, with a community run shop, Post Office and pub. There are annual events including a beer festival and apple day, whilst a wider range of amenities are provided by the pretty market town of Llandeilo, including a supermarket, doctors’ surgery, pharmacy, butcher, pubs and eateries. It is also within easy reach of the market towns of Llandovery, Lampeter and Carmarthen, which offer a further range of amenities.
