This “unique” property for sale is believed to be the oldest in the Wye Valley and has river views. 

Monks Hall, in Brockweir, is Grade II* listed, with foundation stones believed to date back to the 1100s, when the nearby Tintern Abbey was built. 

The property is thought to have been built for the monks at the abbey, having been extended in the 14th century. 

In the 17th and 18th century the property is believed to have been home to a wealthy merchant, later becoming a malting house. 

The property has been sympathetically restored throughout, while retaining many historic features. 

A medieval-style studded and solid oak door is “unusually” wide, having originally been used for animals. 

Inside, there is a large living space with original oak beams and flagstone flooring, while the kitchen includes a “massive” central island. 

There are also built-in kitchen units, and a Rangemaster Nexus cooker, plus windows with original oak shutters. 

Stairs lead up to a “magnificent” monks’ hall, with a large medieval stone fireplace and wood-burning, plus oak flooring, exposed beams, and stained glass windows with Wye Valley views. 

On the floor above is the main bedroom with an original A-frame and an en-suite shower room, while a second double bedroom features 17th century wood panelling. 

Outside, there is a south-facing lawned garden with hedge borders, and views over the rooftops to the River Wye and the wooded hillside. 

There is also a built-in pizza oven, plus an outdoor store and one parking space for the owner. 

The property is for sale with Fine & Country for a guide price of £650,000.

The agent commented: “This unique Grade II* listed property, believed to be the oldest in the outstandingly beautiful Wye Valley, has been expertly and painstakingly renovated to provide a spectacular and atmospheric two-bedroom home which seamlessly merges ancient features with 21st century comforts.”
