History

edit

The architectural historian John Newman records that the origins of the house are "two small early houses"[1] of the 16th century which were joined by a hall-range in the 17th century.[2] Kelly's Directory of 1901 records the farm as being in the possession of a David Robert.[3] The farm remains a private building and is the estate office for the Llanover and Coldbrook Estate,[4] as well as providing space for small businesses.[5]

Architecture and description

edit

The house is of two storeys and is constructed of stone, with stone tiling roofs.[2] John Newman notes the "splendid 17th century hall" with contemporary panelling.[1] The Farm, and the attached cottage are a Grade II* listed building, its listing describing it as a "fine house with early 16th century origins and well-preserved 16th and 17th century detailing".[2]
