Notes on POST BACH, Synod Inn, Ceredigion 2014

I am not entirely sure but I believe this was last used as a farm shop and pub and closed relatively recently. The main road once passed right in front of the shop, on a sharp bend, but recent road improvements means this now sits on a crossroads hardly ever used.
My visit was early morning and very foggy. The house seems in good condition and so far well-preserved. It is set to be auctioned end of May 2014, so I doubt it will remain empty much longer. Was this once a farm house?
