Hidden away in the most idyllic of rural locations is a special slice of
history waiting to greet you with impressive character features and a period
pedigree that dates back mainly to the 16th and 17th centuries.
Thought to be a former longhouse with later additions and once the home of the
Earl of Cadiagn, the handsome Grade II listed Lower Trostra Farm is nestled
within glorious countryside near New Inn, tucked away off a tiny, dead - end
lane, surrounded by approximately 1. 5 acres of tranquil, mature gardens.
However, for such a historic house it happily and easily offers a modern way
of living with large spaces creating social hubs plus the potential for multi -
generational living.
Step inside this charming abode and be surrounded by character and period
features that tell its unique story, from the inglenook fireplaces and exposed
beams to the surprise stone staircase hiding behind an ancient door.
Outside, the pretty grounds offer practical additions too, including a four -
vehicle garage, outbuildings, and a steel barn ideal for equestrian use.
Located south west of the popular market town of Usk, the house is well - placed
to access the main road south to Newport and the M4, and further north to
Abergavenny and routes to the Midlands.
For local amenities and facilities including shops, socialising opportunities
and schools, Pontypool and New Inn are both under two miles away.
But the most wonderful aspect of the property's position is the direct
connection to the stunning surrounding landscape, with miles of countryside to
explore and within walking distance of Llandegfedd Reservoir.
A magnet for wildlife and a perfect place for picnics by the water, the lake
can also provide opportunities for water sports including the local sailing
club, and is the adjacent neighbour to Woodlake Park Golf Club.
But whatever activity away from the house is enjoyed it will always be a
delight to return to Lower Trostra Farm.
Step inside through a choice of doorways and a warm welcome awaits, wrapped in
centuries of history and character.
The main hallway boasts exposed beams and a cosy atmosphere befitting of a
charming period property and this entrance provides access to the two wings of
the house.
There's a glimpse of the conservatory at the end of the hall that tries to
entice you into this bonus space, but there's much to investigate before
relaxing in here with a drink and book surrounded by views of the garden.
The character - packed lounge instantly impresses with exposed ceiling beams and
a sizeable inglenook fireplace within an exposed stone chimney breast. It is a
charming and sociable space where family and friends gather, sinking into a
squishy sofa or armchair, nestled around the fire.
To one side of the fireplace is a wonderful reminder of the period pedigree of
the house - a door that is thought to be the original front door and, once
opened, reveals a stone staircase up to the first floor.
Before the upper level can entice you to climb, there's still a kitchen diner
to be found off the lounge and it's a sociable room that illustrates that
although this house dates back centuries, it can easily offer spaces that fit
a more modern way of living.
The country - style kitchen, as well as visually appealing, can boast a range of
integrated appliances and a range cooker nestled into a chimney breast, and is
another social hub of the home.
Easily accommodating a sizeable dining table and chairs, the cook can be
joined by children doing homework, family mealtimes, and lazy Sunday mornings
reading the newspapers over a delicious brunch, with the stable door open to
allow a birdsong soundtrack to fill the space.
Back to the central hall and there's another delightful wing of accommodation
to explore.
This side of the house offers a second characterful reception room, easily
large enough for a dining table and comfortable seating too, clustered around
another robust and rem
**Outside** \ - Step outside to truly appreciate the peaceful and private
location of this historic home, surrounded by a stunning, undulating landscape
that includes Llandegfedd Reservoir nearby offering wildlife walks, waterside
picnics, and the chance to enjoy a variety of water sports.
Found at the end of a dead - end lane just a few miles outside New Inn, the
hidden historic house nestles within a 1. 5 acre garden that is a slice of
rural tranquillity cocooning the home, wrapping it in panoramic views that
peep through the mature trees and shrubbery.
Days spent wandering through the grounds tending to the plants, and enjoying
alfresco dining with friends and family within the private courtyard at the
heart of the plot or on the brick patio overlooking the lawns, will create
lifelong memories to treasure.
But the land is practical as well as picturesque with the driveway off the
little lane leading to ample parking, a quadruple garage, several outbuildings
and a steel barn that is a happy discovery for anyone keen on the potential
for equestrian opportunities.
