Large period Georgian house for sale Abergavenny
Llanfoist House, a large roomy Georgian house in Abergavenny, is now for sale. Located on the outskirts of Abergavenny, but within easy distance of towns like Monmouth and Newport, this home is secluded and yet easily accessible with excellent road and rail links to other major centres. It is a major part of a Georgian manor house in garden and grounds of approximately eight acres. The garden is large and includes formal and informal planting, a potager kitchen garden, an orchard and paddocks with stabling and fodder storage. We have lived in this wonderful house and loved it for 37 years and now is the time to find new custodians to care for it and live the quality of life that can be enjoyed in these beautiful surroundings and in a house that is generous in its proportions and in its spirit. Our decision to create this comprehensive website is because a home like this deserves much more than a three page brochure and short description and numbers of bedrooms etc. It is intended to show what there is to look forward to in living in a place like this and the kind of life style that is vital in this day and age when everything is too intense and hurried.

Finding the Dream
Tuesday, 12 January 2010 00:00 | Written by Patricia |
Our dream was to find a house with a large garden and well away from a road. We searched for many months – scanning the advertisements in the local papers – collecting information and finally finding the advertisement and details of Llanfoist House. Estate Agent jargon omitted the condition details, what captured our imagination was the drive lined with Scots Fir trees, the conservatory and that it was a large house. We could turn it into flats and let some of it to pay the mortgage, we could grow vegetables and live cheaply, we could have a goat and milk it – we would have safe magical space for our little girl – our cats would not be run over on the road. The price was way out of our budget and it was impossible in those days to get much of a mortgage and completely impossible to raise money on old buildings.
So on a sunny day in late February the journey was made from Pontypool to find this hidden treasure.
