Town Farm

The peaceful country lanes that weave along the Herefordshire and Monmouthshire border lead you to the medieval village of Grosmont, tucked between the spectacular beauty of the Brecon Beacons National Park and the Wye Valley. Grosmont Castle, one of the Three Castles of Gwent built by the Normans, lies just behind the main street, and in the heart of the village, you will find Town Farm.

Grade II listed and beautifully restored, Town Farm is a spacious and elegant house. Period features herald your arrival and welcome you into somewhere rather special. Warm wooden floors flow throughout the ground floor, leading to a delightful sitting room with a vast inglenook fireplace, gorgeous kitchen/dining space, a games room with a snooker table, and a delightful children’s playroom complete with a dressing up box, toys, games and a wall-mounted TV for rainy afternoon films and sessions on the PlayStation. Two original, curved staircases take you to the upper floors where the fabulous bedrooms (all with their own bathrooms) lie in wait. The King Charles room boasts a rolltop slipper bath in the bedroom, whilst the Nell Gwyn room has a seductive four-poster with its namesake adorning the headboard. The Spire room overlooks the peaceful churchyard, and last but not least the superb Loft Suite encompasses the whole top floor and includes a sitting area and divine Jacuzzi copper Bateau bath.

Outside you’ll find lovely gardens, a BBQ and a firepit. Enjoy outside dining on the tiered terrace, which is beautifully lit by night, and soak in the views of the church. There is on-street parking for 4 cars.
