£1.8m Georgian mansion offers ten bedrooms across 12,000 sq ft

Published on

A Georgian home with ten bedrooms is on the market for £1.8 million in Monmouth.

Chapel House is located on The Parade near Monmouth School. This detached building has Grade II* listed status and dates from the early 1700s. Historical records link it to ironmaster and former mayor William Rea. The accommodation spans over 12,000 square feet.

The building previously functioned as a boarding house for Haberdashers’ School and occupies roughly 1.43 acres. The garden walls, gateway and railings have Grade II listed status, while the gardens hold separate Grade II registration for their historic significance.

The interior includes a reception hall with wooden dado panelling, a plasterwork ceiling, and a sweeping staircase with twisted balusters. Two adjoining reception rooms feature original fireplaces, timber panelling, and sash windows with shutters. One room displays an inscription recording restoration completed in 1910 by Humphrey Farran Hall.

The property offers twenty bedrooms, eight of which are doubles, accompanied by five shower rooms. Additional spaces include a dining room, study, and a secondary staircase. Period features are preserved throughout, including a historic fireback inscribed with William Rea’s initials and the year 1720.

An annexe and former service wing provide extra space, currently arranged as kitchens, living areas, and utility rooms. According to the listing, this section could be adapted for uses such as guest accommodation, a cinema, gym, or wellness facility subject to the necessary consents.

A spacious walled parking area is accessible via double gates. Additional structures include a workshop, storage facilities, and a paved terrace. The rear gardens descend towards the River Monnow, offering views across Vauxhall Meadows and surrounding countryside.

Chapel House is being sold as freehold property.
