This property affords an exclusive and incredibly rare opportunity to build a contemporary home with great historic value within a private estate surrounded by woodland. Planning is granted for a detached house with 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, 2 reception rooms, kitchen, utility room and detached double garage, on part of the site of the former Llangibby Castle House, incorporating the existing structural remains and gardens.
The site is listed as Grade II on the Cadw/ICOMOS Register of Parks and Gardens of Special Historic Interest in Wales and is shown as: “Registered for the survival of a late 17th/early 18th century formal layout of terraces, walled garden and avenue associated with Llangibby Castle House (demolished 1951/52) and situated in a former deer park”. The registered area has important group value with the Grade II listed Stable Ranges. (LB: 26228 & 26229) and scheduled monuments of Llangibby Castle and Llangibby Castle Mound, a Norman Motte (MM109 and MM110).
The impressive drive to the House runs west through the original deer park via a gated entrance with a 19th century Lodge. The drive is flanked by mature parkland trees. Below the main road a magnificent Scots pine avenue of trees known as Llangibby Walks was originally planted in 1707. It continues for some 1.3km down to the banks of the river Usk and could be seen from the House in its day.
Llangibby Castle House in Monmouthshire was a large, two - storey building constructed of sandstone in the classical Palladian style and located between two scheduled monuments of Llangibby Castle, otherwise known as Tregrug and its forerunner - the Norman motte-and-bailey, first mentioned in records dating from 1262. The present castle remains include a large, nearly rectangular walled enclosure surrounded by ditches – the size of the bailey makes it the largest single enclosure castle in England and Wales. The castle had fallen into disuse by the 16th century but was refortified and garrisoned during the English Civil war. Since then, it has had a number of different uses and is now maintained with the help of Cadw.
The plans for the new contemporary Llangibby Castle House present an opportunity to live in an unrivalled setting, ensconced by history and nature. Ideally situated just 3 miles from Usk town offering an array of day-to-day needs including a doctor, dentist, pharmacy, supermarket, primary school, as well as eateries and pubs. Situated on the river Usk there is an abundance of country walks. The A449 provides quick access to the M4 and M50. Llangibby itself has a village pub and hall offering social events, again surrounded by countryside.
