Pencraig Court is a most impressive 18th century Grade II listed country house situated in a hamlet just off the A40 between the charming market towns of Ross on Wye and Monmouth. From it’s elevated position the property commands stunning views across the River Wye and beyond. Of substantial proportions the property has been used formerly as a hotel, restaurant, wedding venue and even as a school during the war, although it is currently a fine family home.

The entrance porch has two pairs of fluted columns and leads through to a most welcoming 35’ Reception Hall, which features an open well staircase with cast-iron balustrades and mahogany hand rail. Leading off the hallway are the fine receptions rooms, with 11’6 high ceilings and sash windows.

The Drawing Room found at the front has a cast-iron fireplace with tiled inserts and marble surround and is open to the Dining Room courtesy of a large archway, making it perfect for entertaining. Both of these rooms have decorative coved ceilings and enjoy the fine views with the dining room having a walk-in bay.

The large 26’ Family Room again enjoys the fine views and also has glazed panel doors opening out on to the rear terrace. There is a

cast-iron range to add a cosy feel and the ceiling is once more finished with decorative coving. The Sitting Room at the rear overlooks the terrace and is used more as a quiet space, perhaps the place to enjoy a book sat in front of the open fire. Off the hallway you will also find both a Ladies’ and Gentlemen’s Cloakroom, whilst the Study at the front of the house has been formed from the once hotel bar!

A ‘service’ corridor off the main hallway leads to the Breakfast Kitchen with recently fitted modern base and wall units and stainless steel 6-burner range. Beyond this is a walk-in Pantry/Freezer Room, the Laundry Room and further Storage Room.

The Eleven Bedrooms are located on the first and second floors, all of which feature en-suite facilities and several of which enjoy the fine views. Adjacent to the main house is the Cottage Annexe formerly used as owners’ accommodation and providing an 18’ sitting room, kitchen, three bedrooms and a bathroom.

The block is connected to power, lighting and water. Alongside this is a timber HAY BARN 16’ x 14’ again with power and lighting. Leading off the formal garden is an expanse of woodland, ideal for the wildlife enthusiast, or as a place for children and pets to run wild!
