History

The origin of the farmhouse is late-medieval, possibly the early 15th century.[2] In their three-volume history, Monmouthshire Houses, Sir Cyril Fox and Lord Raglan described it as "the only example of a mediaeval one-roomed house open to the roof in Monmouthshire".[2] The building was extended in the 17th century, possibly around 1610, by the construction of a larger, two-storey, block.[2] The farmhouse was listed Grade II* in 1956.[2] In 2012, the house was on the market for £425,000.[3]

Architecture and description

The earlier block consists of a single room, constructed in stone.[1] It contains a "splendid" fireplace.[1] This structure is now used for storage.[2] The 16th century extension, also in Old Red Sandstone, is two-storeyed with an attic.[2]
