Court Farmhouse and the attached Court Farm Cottage, Llanover, Monmouthshire is a country house dating from the early 16th century. Originally two houses, which became the East and West wings of a larger house, with a connecting hall constructed in the 17th century, it is now again sub-divided. The house is a Grade II* listed building.
The architectural historian John Newman records that the origins of the house are "two small early houses" [1] of the 16th century which were joined by a hall-range in the 17th century. [2] Kelly's Directory of 1901 records the farm as being in the possession of a David Robert. [3] The farm remains a private building and is the estate office for the Llanover and Coldbrook Estate, [4] as well as providing space for small businesses. [5]
The house is of two storeys and is constructed of stone, with stone tiling roofs. [2] John Newman notes the "splendid 17th century hall" with contemporary panelling. [1] The Farm, and the attached cottage are a Grade II* listed building, its listing describing it as a "fine house with early 16th century origins and well-preserved 16th and 17th century detailing".
