Llangattock Court & Llangattock Court Cottage

A rare and iconic country estate in the heart of Monmouthshire

We are delighted to present two truly exceptional properties to the market: Llangattock Court and Llangattock Court Cottage - an extraordinary opportunity to acquire a landmark estate in a picturesque and highly sought-after corner of rural Monmouthshire.

Steeped in history and architectural distinction, Llangattock Court is a Grade II* Listed residence of considerable provenance, widely recognised as one of the most important period homes in the county. With origins dating back to the 1500s, refined through the 1600s and again in the early 20th century, the property beautifully melds centuries of craftsmanship with sympathetic modern enhancements. Carefully restored by the current owners, the home offers a rare fusion of historic charm, grand proportions and modern refinement.

Offered alongside the equally charming Llangattock Court Cottage, the estate provides exceptional flexibility, privacy and the potential for multi-generational living, guest accommodation or additional income, all within an idyllic rural setting.

Llangattock Court – The Principal House

Approaching the property, you are welcomed by an impressive private driveway that winds through beautifully maintained grounds, flanked by mature lawns, beech hedging and a majestic Wellingtonia tree. The setting immediately conveys the timeless elegance and grandeur that define this remarkable estate.

Ground Floor

The principal reception rooms are arranged around a generous entrance hallway, setting the tone for the scale and character throughout the house.

The main sitting room is a magnificent and generously proportioned space. It boasts exceptionally high ceilings adorned with exquisite original Tudor rose carvings - a rare and striking architectural feature that speaks to the property’s Tudor heritage. With exposed timber flooring and a grand stone fireplace with an inset log burner, the room combines architectural splendour with a commanding sense of presence and period elegance.

Opposite the sitting room, an inner hallway leads to a cloakroom, a useful storage cupboard and a secondary staircase ascending to the upper floor. This area showcases some of the most striking vertical and horizontal timber beams, reflecting the superb craftsmanship of the period.

The elegant drawing room offers another refined space, complete with an impressive stone fireplace and log burner. Beautifully preserved timber beams add warmth and character, while the room flows into the kitchen, which has been thoughtfully designed for both everyday living and entertaining. It features bespoke cabinetry, high-spec integrated appliances and a modern range cooker set within a tiled mock chimney breast.

Beyond the kitchen lies a bright breakfast room with its own log burner and views over the rear courtyard- an ideal space for informal dining. From here, a door leads into a well-equipped utility room, conveniently positioned for practicality.

A further reception room, currently used as a snug, provides a more intimate atmosphere. This room features a beautiful Minster stone fireplace with an inset log burner and an original stone mullion window overlooking the front gardens, adding light and period charm.

First Floor

The upstairs accommodation continues to impress, with six spacious bedrooms. Three benefit from en-suite bathrooms and original stone fireplaces, with all rooms blending historic charm with the comforts of modern living.

The landing is particularly grand, offering an unusually large and light-filled space. A substantial stone mullion window overlooks the rear gardens, reinforcing the elegance and scale of the home.

Bedroom Three enjoys an adjoining room currently used as a playroom, which could equally serve as a dressing room, study or further en-suite -offering flexibility to suit a variety of needs.

A well-appointed family bathroom serves the remaining bedrooms, completing the accommodation in the main house.

Servants’ Quarters and Potential

The attic, historically used as servants’ quarters, retains much of its original character, including oak beam door frames that reflect the quality craftsmanship of the time. This space offers exciting potential for conversion into additional accommodation, subject to the necessary approvals, allowing the next owners to further enhance this extraordinary home.

Gardens and Grounds

The main gardens surround the property on three sides, with wide sweeping lawns interspersed with mature shrubs and specimen trees that enhance the natural beauty and privacy of the estate. At the front, the tarmac driveway is lined with manicured lawns, beech hedging and laurel, creating a striking and welcoming approach.

To the rear, a generous parking area sits alongside a garage block, while closer to the house lies a large flagstone courtyard - a perfect setting for outdoor entertaining or peaceful relaxation.

A further lawn extends to the west, where mature trees, including a walnut and silver birch, offer dappled shade and structure. A charming chicken run lies at the far end of the garden, adding a functional and pastoral element to the grounds.

The gardens have been thoughtfully landscaped and are impeccably maintained. Expanses of lawn, stone-paved seating areas and established borders create a setting equally suited to formal entertaining or quiet enjoyment.

There is ample parking for multiple vehicles and, subject to any necessary consents, the opportunity for additional outbuildings such as garaging, stabling or further ancillary structures.

Llangattock Court Cottage

Set within its own private and substantial garden plot, Llangattock Court Cottage is a spacious and well-arranged bungalow offering flexibility and comfort.

The large sitting room is filled with natural light and flows into a generous kitchen with an adjoining dining area - ideal for modern living and entertaining. The layout also includes a utility room, a downstairs toilet, three comfortable bedrooms and a stylish, modern family bathroom.

Externally, the bungalow enjoys its own private driveway, a large patio area and expansive garden, offering both seclusion and space. A substantial three-car carport and a separate workshop provide excellent storage and potential for further use. The cottage complements the main house beautifully and would suit extended family, staff or even provide a holiday let income.

Summary

Llangattock Court and Llangattock Court Cottage represent an exceptional opportunity to acquire one of Monmouthshire’s most historically significant country homes. Together, they offer an extraordinary blend of architectural heritage, generous proportions, refined interiors and beautiful private grounds.

From the carved Tudor roses in the ceiling beams to the elegant stone mullion windows, from the grand landing to the landscaped gardens and flagstone courtyard, every element of this estate reflects a commitment to preservation, quality and timeless style.

This is not just a home, but a landmark of Welsh architectural heritage - offering grandeur, privacy, and a truly rare lifestyle opportunity
