Summary - Glascoed, Usk NP4 0TX
Grade II listed farmhouse with strong original character
A historic five-bedroom detached house set in about 1.5 acres of private gardens, Lower Trostra Farm blends 16th/17th‑century character with large, sociable living spaces. Exposed beams, inglenook fireplaces and a stone staircase give the house strong period appeal, while a substantial country-style kitchen, conservatory and multiple reception rooms suit modern family life and entertaining.
The plot is a major asset: mature lawns, a central courtyard, a quadruple garage, outbuildings and a steel barn provide practical space for cars, storage or equestrian use. The location is peaceful and rural, tucked down a dead‑end lane close to Llandegfedd Reservoir and within easy driving distance of Usk, Pontypool and the M4 for longer journeys.
There are important practical considerations. The house is Grade II listed, which will restrict alterations and may add complexity and cost to repairs or modernisation. Some rooms have low ceilings and the fabric of a very old building will need ongoing maintenance; prospective buyers should budget for listed‑building upkeep. The property sits in a remote hamlet, so routine services and amenities require a short drive.
This property will suit buyers seeking a character home with substantial grounds — particularly multi‑generational families, those wanting hobby‑equestrian or countryside lifestyles, or buyers prepared to invest in sympathetic restoration. It delivers privacy, space and heritage, but expect consent processes and conservation‑grade maintenance to protect its history.
