The Property
Introducing Treburvaugh House, a truly unique Grade II Listed country residence peacefully located in the glorious Welsh border countryside, just outside the hamlet of Monaughty and conveniently positioned between the popular market towns of Knighton and Presteigne. Occupying an elevated position on the edge of the Radnor Forest and enjoying stunning views across the surrounding landscape, Treburvaugh House offers not only a substantial and characterful home, but an exceptional lifestyle opportunity in approximately 9.7 acres of gardens, woodland and paddocks.
Dating in part from the early 1800’s with significant additions believed to have been completed circa 1890, Treburvaugh House is a property steeped in history, character and individuality. Originally forming part of the wider Treburvaugh Estate, the property is believed to have begun life as a traditional stone cottage before later being transformed into the impressive Arts & Crafts influenced residence seen today. Previous records suggest the house was once owned by John Thomas Jackson, a Rochdale mill owner who later became High Sheriff of Radnorshire in 1905 and is understood to have used Treburvaugh House as a country retreat. Many of the building materials are believed to have been sourced directly from the estate itself, adding further authenticity and connection to the surrounding landscape.
Today, the property still retains an abundance of original features and architectural charm throughout, including elegant sash windows with shutters and much of the original glass still intact, exposed timbers, feature fireplaces, mosaic tiled flooring, a magnificent Jacobean staircase, cellar rooms, attic accommodation and superb Arts & Crafts detailing evident in a number of the principal reception rooms. The history and craftsmanship found throughout Treburvaugh House creates a home with genuine warmth, atmosphere and personality rarely found in properties.
If ever there was a property which was more about the lifestyle it offers than simply the stone, timber and mortar it has been built with, then this could well be it! Treburvaugh House presents a rare opportunity to enjoy peaceful countryside living surrounded by nature and wildlife, while remaining within convenient reach of nearby amenities, schooling, independent shops, cafés and public houses found in both Knighton and Presteigne. The property would suit a variety of purchasers, whether that be those searching for a sizeable family home, a registered smallholding, multi-generational living, a successful holiday-let business, or simply somewhere with space, privacy and inspiration in abundance.
Approached via a private driveway leading to a sizeable parking and turning area, the property immediately enjoys an imposing presence with mature grounds extending around the house. The accommodation itself is extensive, versatile and beautifully atmospheric throughout. A number of elegant reception rooms can be found on the ground floor, including the stunning drawing room, dining room and living room, all enjoying feature fireplaces and delightful outlooks over the grounds and surrounding countryside. Particularly noteworthy is the drawing room, which features a large floor-to-ceiling bay window and an impressive Arts & Crafts fireplace complete with copper canopy and original detailing.
The kitchen breakfast room is very much designed for family living and entertaining alike, while also retaining plenty of character including the original range fireplace. Adjoining the kitchen is a useful utility/laundry area alongside a selection of stores and cellar space. Accompanied by a bathroom and a store, further reception rooms including a snug and a study provide excellent flexibility for those with hobbies, wishing to work from home or simply enjoy additional living space.
The first floor offers a number of generous double bedrooms and bathrooms, many of which enjoy far-reaching countryside views and retain original features including fireplaces and sash windows. The master bedroom is complete with its own roll top corner bath. The second floor provides further attic accommodation and useful storage space, which could easily be converted into further bedroom space if required.
Attached to the rear of the property and currently operated as a successful holiday-let, the cottage provides excellent supplementary accommodation and is ideal for multi-generational living, guest accommodation or those wishing to generate an income stream. The cottage enjoys independent access and includes reception space, kitchen facilities, bedrooms and bathroom accommodation, as well as a private garden, while still linking naturally with the main residence if desired. In addition, one bedroom has flexible dual access from the main house and cottage, meaning the cottage could be used with 1 or 2 bedrooms, should the oweners choose.
Outside is where Treburvaugh House truly comes into its own. The grounds are wonderfully diverse and full of character, comprising mature landscaped gardens, ancient bluebell woodland, dingle, ponds, paddocks and a variety of established shrubs and specimen trees including Oak, Beech and Monkey Puzzle. The two sizeable pools create a haven for wildlife and nature lovers alike, with frequent sightings of Red Kites, Buzzards and Owls, just to mention a few.
For those with rural or smallholding interests, the property is a registered smallholding and includes approximately 10 acres in total, including six enclosed paddocks, stable blocks, tack room, hay storage and additional stores. While the property may appeal to those with equestrian interests owing to the nearby riding schools, country and Radnor Forest, the grounds equally lend themselves to a wide variety of lifestyle pursuits.
Treburvaugh House offers a truly special opportunity to acquire a historic and substantial country home in one of the most beautiful parts of the Welsh borders. A property of immense charm, versatility and character, offering privacy and breathtaking scenery in abundance, yet remaining surprisingly convenient to nearby towns and amenities. A unique home which simply must be viewed to be fully appreciated.
