Description

New House Farm is an attractive and renowned Monmouthshire livestock farm (home of the former Rosparry Herd) that has a strong residential appeal with a large handsome period house that is thought to date c.1600s with a large attractive walled garden. It is set on a traditional farmyard with two large stone barns that have extant planning permission for the conversion into two residential dwellings. Beyond the immediate traditional yard is the modern farmyard with an array of general purpose agricultural buildings. These are currently used for housing livestock, storage of feed, machinery and workshop purposes but would suit a multitude of uses. The farm extends to about 135 acres (stms – subject to measured survey) and includes quality pastureland for grazing and cropping. The farm is for sale as a whole or in up to five Lots as detailed below.
