Glantren Fach is a well managed and well maintained livestock farm, being an ideal 90 acre one man unit, previously a dairy farm now utilised for beef production with purpose built cattle handling system and 157,000 gallon slurry store. The farm has a good range of modern buildings for livestock rearing purposes and also has the benefit of significant potential from the well-maintained traditional ranges which in our opinion, would make a lovely conversion into holiday cottages etc. (STP).
