Description

The sale offers a rare opportunity to purchase a substantial 'gentleman's' country residence. The imposing house has white rendered and stone elevations under a red clay tiled roof.

The reception rooms, with picture rails and dados, contain stone fireplaces, bay windows with shutters and wooden floors. The ceilings are high and create a good natural light ambience.

History

Formerly owned by the Duke of Beaufort who, in 1875, sold it to the landowner and politician Charles Henry Crompton Roberts the property is steeped in history and enjoys a prominent position in the hamlet. Trelleck Grange is an ancient parish based around the church which was later used by the monks of Tintern Abbey who used the surrounding farmland to grow food.
