About this property
On the edge of the small village of Grosmont, Little Manor offers a peaceful base from which to enjoy the borderlands of Herefordshire and Monmouthshire. Surrounded by gentle hills and open countryside, this Grade II*-listed Jacobean farmhouse, built in 1673, combines traditional character with modern comfort.
Inside, original beams, polished wooden floors and an impressive inglenook fireplace give a sense of the house’s history, while thoughtful updates ensure it works well for groups and families. A spacious kitchen and dining area provide the perfect setting for sociable mealtimes, while the living room features an open fireplace for cosy evenings in. There’s also a snooker room with a woodburner and a dedicated playroom for younger guests.
The five bedrooms are spread across different floors, each with its own style and features. From a four-poster bed to a copper roll-top Jacuzzi bath in the loft suite, the layout allows for both privacy and flexibility, whether you're travelling with friends or extended family.
Outside, a private garden looks out over the surrounding hills, with space to dine outdoors in warmer months. Grosmont’s locally renowned pub and castle are a short walk away, and the Brecon Beacons, Wye Valley and a number of historic market towns are within easy reach for day trips and walking routes. This is the perfect home for those looking to slow down and explore a quieter corner of the Welsh countryside.
Nestled amid the serene Herefordshire countryside, Little Manor offers guests a gateway to two of the UK’s most treasured landscapes: the Brecon Beacons National Park and the Wye Valley Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. This peaceful rural setting places you within easy reach of Abergavenny, renowned for its vibrant food scene and bustling market, and the cathedral city of Hereford, where timber-framed buildings and independent shops line the historic streets. Nearby Monmouth offers riverside charm and a dose of heritage, while picturesque villages like Grosmont and Ewyas Harold lie on your doorstep.
Outdoor enthusiasts will find endless inspiration in the surrounding hills, riverbanks, and woodland trails, perfect for hiking, wild swimming, or canoeing along the River Wye. Food lovers can indulge in local farm shops, vineyards, and award-winning restaurants scattered across the region. Whether you’re sipping cider beneath orchard trees or discovering ancient castles, this idyllic corner of the English-Welsh border promises a richly rewarding escape.
