Do not be deceived by the first glance of this auction property. It might look like all that is on offer is just a small, detached house but it most certainly is not; it packs a property punch that keeps on going.
Nestled into the Carmarthenshire countryside is a bungalow, an outbuilding with potential, a Dutch barn and land as well as the former farmhouse that expands into a substantial home to the side and rear.
The whole site is located near the village of Manordeilo, just a few miles from the popular and pretty market town of Llandeilo, directly accessed via the A40 which is found at the bottom of the private lane that winds up to this intriguing auction lot.

At Llandeilo the next owner of this property called Tyr Cwrt will enjoy choosing from a myriad of shops, cafes, bars and restaurants as well as social and sport-based groups to join and a range of the supermarkets and everyday amenities and facilities required.
Exploring the surrounding landscape will be an absolute joy, with the magnificent and majestic expanse of Bannau Brycheiniog Brecon Beacons National Park literally on the doorstep and The National Trust’s Dinefwr Park nature reserve and 18th century landscape deer park so close it can easily be enjoyed on a regular basis.
But there is much to do back at Tyr Cwrt to distract you from exploring the great outdoors for a while, with the selling agent describing the former farmhouse as a renovation project. In the garden there are two outbuildings, one of which has already been converted into a bungalow.
The main house offers two reception rooms, a kitchen diner, a bathroom and four bedrooms including an ensuite to the principal bedroom. The bungalow makes a perfect annexe and can boast a living room, kitchen, bedroom and bathroom.
All the buildings on offer are cocooned within about 5.7 acres of land with the option to buy another 2.5 acres on the other side of the road comprising two separate parcels.
The house is going to online auction with a guide price of £275,000 with Auction House Wales with bidding opening at 12 noon on Monday, July 29 and will run until 12 noon on Wednesday, July 31.
The agent states: “We draw buyer’s attention to the Special Conditions of Sale within the legal pack, referring to other charges in addition to the purchase price which may become payable. Such costs may include search fees, reimbursement of seller’s costs and legal fees, and transfer fees, amongst others.”
