Llangattock Court

A Rare and Iconic Country Residence in the Heart of Monmouthshire

We are delighted to present Llangattock Court-an extraordinary opportunity to acquire one of Monmouthshire’s most distinguished period homes.

Steeped in history and architectural significance, this Grade II* Listed residence is widely recognised as one of the county’s most important historic houses. With origins dating back to the 1500s, and refined through the 1600s and early 20th century, Llangattock Court beautifully melds centuries of craftsmanship with sympathetic modern enhancements.

Carefully restored by the current owners, the home offers a rare combination of grand proportions, refined interiors and modern comfort-all within an idyllic rural setting.

Approach and Setting

A long, private driveway winds through beautifully maintained grounds, flanked by mature lawns, beech hedging and a majestic Wellingtonia tree. The approach immediately conveys the timeless elegance and presence that define this exceptional property.

Ground Floor

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

The main sitting room is a magnificent and generously proportioned space, featuring exceptionally high ceilings adorned with exquisite Tudor rose carvings-a rare and striking architectural feature that speaks to the property’s Tudor heritage. Exposed timber flooring and a grand stone fireplace with inset log burner combine to create a room of warmth and distinction.

Opposite the sitting room, an inner hallway leads to a cloakroom, a useful storage cupboard and a secondary staircase ascending to the upper floor. Here, striking vertical and horizontal timber beams showcase the craftsmanship of the period.

The elegant drawing room provides another refined entertaining space, complete with an impressive stone fireplace and log burner. From here, the room flows naturally into the kitchen-thoughtfully designed for both everyday living and hosting.

The kitchen features bespoke cabinetry, high-spec integrated appliances, a striking granite splashback, and a large central island with a solid oak breakfast bar. This space perfectly balances traditional craftsmanship with contemporary style, offering both practicality and elegance at the heart of the home.

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. A well-equipped utility room sits conveniently adjacent.

A further reception room, currently used as a snug, offers a more intimate atmosphere, featuring a Minster stone fireplace with log burner and an original stone mullion window overlooking the front gardens.

First Floor

The first-floor accommodation continues to impress, with six spacious bedrooms-three of which benefit from en-suite bathrooms and original stone fireplaces. Each room blends historic charm with contemporary comfort.

The grand landing is particularly striking: A wide, light-filled space with a substantial stone mullion window overlooking the rear gardens.

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 great flexibility.

A well-appointed family bathroom serves the remaining bedrooms, completing the accommodation on this floor.

Attic and Potential

The attic, historically used as servants’ quarters, retains much of its original character, including oak-beamed door frames that speak to the exceptional craftsmanship of the era. This space offers exciting potential for conversion into additional accommodation (subject to the necessary approvals).

Gardens and Grounds

The gardens surround the property on three sides, featuring wide sweeping lawns interspersed with mature shrubs and specimen trees that enhance the natural beauty and privacy of the estate.

At the front, a 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 a large flagstone courtyard offers the perfect setting for outdoor entertaining or peaceful relaxation.

A further lawn extends westward, where mature trees-including walnut and silver birch-provide dappled shade and structure. A charming chicken run at the far end of the garden adds a pastoral touch.

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, potential for additional outbuildings such as garaging, stabling or ancillary structures.

Summary

Llangattock Court represents an exceptional opportunity to acquire one of Monmouthshire’s most historically significant country homes. 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 residence reflects a commitment to preservation, quality and timeless style.

This is not merely a house-it is a landmark of Welsh architectural heritage, offering grandeur, privacy, and a truly rare lifestyle opportunity
