Introduction
In total, Old Mill Farm comprises about 27 acres of land, mostly down to sloping permanent pastureland suitable for grazing with horses, cattle and sheep, some of which is capable of being mown for hay, as well as some areas of trees and tracks and other unproductive land. Until recently, the property was being used as a farming business and the land is in reasonable condition having been well grazed in recent years. The two Lots are divided by the parish road and include the ruins of the original mill from which the property takes its name, together with a residential caravan, a substantial stone barn with planning consent for change of use to residential, and other small sheds.
Situation
Old Mill is situated about 1 mile from the rural village of Longtown in South Herefordshire which lies about 5 miles off the A465 Abergavenny to Hereford trunk road. Longtown is a small rural community, ideally placed close to the Welsh border and the Brecon Beacons National Park with road links to the Monmouthshire market town of Abergavenny (about 9 miles) and the Cathedral City of Hereford (about 22 miles). Longtown has an active village community with a primary school, pub, village hall and outdoor learning centre as well as several small businesses. The greater area is widely favoured by outside sports enthusiasts, walkers and hill runners alike who are drawn to the River Monnow and the Cat’s Back, thought to be one of the most spectacular walks of the Black Mountains.
For comprehensive shopping and leisure facilities, Abergavenny has a wide selection of boutique style shops, grocery and newsagent stores, supermarkets, and many well-known high street shops. Abergavenny also hosts a market several times a week and a highly regarded world-famous annual Food Festival. The town has its own cinema and leisure centre as well as several restaurants for evening entertainment.
Railway stations at Hereford and Abergavenny have regular services into central London via Newport, whilst road links in Abergavenny give easy access to the motorway for Bristol, Birmingham, the Southwest and London and “A” routes for Monmouth, Cwmbran and Cardiff.
