Overmonnow House is a substantial Grade II-listed Georgian-fronted family home arranged over three floors, offering more than 4,200 sq ft of adaptable living space. The house retains strong period character — high ceilings, original wood panelling and a dramatic central staircase — and sits on a generous 0.22-acre plot with a large south-facing garden, gated off-road parking and a side garage suitable for two cars. Its scale and layout suit a large family wanting formal and informal reception spaces plus separate utility and boot-room facilities.
The location is exceptionally convenient for town life: a short walk to Monnow Bridge and Monnow Street, with local shops, pubs and public transport nearby. Practical modern comforts include mains gas central heating, double glazing installed after 2002, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal. There is no flooding risk for the site.
Important practical considerations are set out plainly. Listed status means any alterations, extensions or some repairs will need listed-building consent and will complicate and add cost to refurbishment. The solid brick walls are uninsulated (as-built), so the house will be relatively costly to heat despite double glazing and mains gas central heating. Council tax is noted as quite expensive and the local area scores as very deprived with above-average crime — factors buyers should weigh alongside the house’s town-centre convenience.
This house will appeal to buyers seeking a spacious, characterful family home in a historic setting who are prepared for the responsibilities of a listed property. It offers immediate generous living accommodation with clear potential for sensitive refurbishment and modernisation where consent allows.
