Summary - GOVILON HOUSE MERTHYR ROAD GOVILON ABERGAVENNY NP7 9PT
5 bed 2 bath Detached
Large period home with garden, mountain views and substantial conversion potential.
Grade II listed Georgian residence dating to the 17th century
This Grade II listed Georgian residence dates back to the 17th century and offers substantial period character across three floors, including a cellar and large attic. Generous principal rooms retain original detailing — sash windows, fireplaces, wide oak staircase treads and a stone-flagged hallway — balanced by later improvements such as double glazing and a large dual-aspect kitchen/breakfast/family room that opens to the garden.
Set on a large plot with southerly gardens and mountain views, the house includes extensive off-road parking, an attached former-stables garage, a detached workshop and a convertible two-storey hayloft offering scope for additional accommodation (subject to listed-building and planning consents). The location places the village shop and canal within walking distance and lies inside the Brecon Beacons National Park, with Abergavenny and Crickhowell close by.
The house is spacious and adaptable for family life, entertaining and homeworking, but it will suit a buyer comfortable with listed-building ownership. Some areas require finishing and improvement; the property’s historic granite walls are assumed to lack modern insulation and energy performance is modest (E rating). Practical considerations include a very expensive council tax band and the need for listed-building consents for alterations.
Suitable for buyers seeking a character-filled family home with development potential, this property rewards careful restoration and sympathetic upgrades. Its protections and maintenance obligations are significant — factor in specialist repair, consent processes and ongoing upkeep when assessing value.
