4 bed detached house for sale

Grosmont, Abergavenny, Monmouthshire NP7

Set amid the glorious countryside of the Welsh Marches, within easy reach of Monmouth, Abergavenny and Hereford.

Dating from the mid-17th century, with its handsome façade added in 1840, this substantial stone house occupies an elevated position on the edge of the sought-after village of Grosmont. Offering the next owners an opportunity to own much more than just a characterful country house, the property offers a chance to create an entirely new way of life. With approximately 1.29 acres of gardens and grounds, substantial outbuildings including a detached two-storey coach house and stable and potential building plots, subject to the necessary permissions, there is considerable scope to reimagine the property and make something genuinely special here. Detailed plans to extend the property are available to view for buyers looking to add immediate space (planning reference A29513).

For those dreaming of leaving city life behind, it could become an exceptional family home with space to work, entertain and breathe. For someone with a more entrepreneurial vision, the house and grounds invite all sorts of possibilities: A boutique B&B or luxury guest accommodation, holiday lets, a glamping or rural retreat concept, creative or studio space, or simply an extraordinary private home with beautifully developed gardens and grounds. Any alternative or commercial uses would, of course, be subject to the relevant consents.

Inside, the house has the scale and proportions expected of a property of its age. Four generous reception rooms provide flexibility for family life, entertaining and working from home, complemented by four bedrooms and two bathrooms. Large double-glazed sash windows bring abundant natural light into the principal rooms, while high ceilings and surviving period features give the house a sense of history and character that would be difficult to recreate. A large cellar provides further useful space.

The house is not Listed, giving a future owner greater freedom to consider how it might evolve, subject to any permissions required.

One of the property's most exciting features is the detached, two-storey coach house and stable. Substantial in its own right and offering enormous potential, it opens up another dimension to what could be created here.

There is also a separate stone barn/carport and private off-street parking.

The established gardens and grounds extend to approximately 1.29 acres and contain a variety of fruit trees, with views stretching across the surrounding countryside.

Whether the ambition is to create landscaped gardens, productive grounds, outdoor entertaining spaces or explore a tourism or hospitality venture, there is room here for the next owner to put their own stamp on the property.

The property has an extant planning consent for an extension which would provide a conservatory on the ground floor, and an extra bedroom and bathroom upstairs. There is also potential for building plots within the grounds, subject to planning permission. Please ask the agents for further details.

This is a property for someone with ideas: A historic home to enjoy today, with the land, buildings and flexibility to create something remarkable for tomorrow. Its next chapter is waiting to be written.
