The Court House is a glorious, flexible, family home of great presence and significance, situated in a central village location, with no onward chain. Set in approximately 3/4 acre of grounds, it comprises five bedrooms, three bathrooms, three reception rooms, kitchen/breakfast room centred around an AGA, separate utility room, shower room/cloakroom, walk in larder and a large, flexible boot room/study.

Outside, set within a large walled garden, there is a stone-built double garage plus further, ample parking, a workshop and an old wash house (both ripe for refurbishment), terraces and beautifully presented gardens adorned with mature trees, shrubs and flowering plants.

Constructed in the early seventeenth century and previously owned by the historically significant Kemeys family, the Court House name refers to its function as a manorial court for keeping records of farm tenancies, collecting rents and holding ‘Courts Baron’ on tenants' behaviour. The 'village pound' still sits within the grounds. There is a tablet set into the front porch written in ancient Welsh dated 1635 which is believed to mean “though I am of stone, I remain subject to the law”.

The beautifully proportioned, bright reception rooms are accented by high ceilings, large south facing windows and fireplaces served by wood burners. The flexible study/boot room at the rear is sandwiched between the kitchen and workshop; the latter currently only accessible from the outside. Planning was previously obtained to reconfigure this space to incorporate the workshop into the house. The features of high ceilings and large south facing windows are replicated in the principal first floor bedrooms and the bedroom at the rear of the house has not only a large vaulted ceiling but also a door leading to stairs into the garden.

The large second floor bedrooms appear to mirror each other and enjoy high vaulted ceilings and would lend themselves to the addition of a further bathroom (subject to necessary consents). Blessed with two staircases, this stunning residence also lends itself to sub-division for multi generational living.

Llanvair Discoed, referenced in the Domesday book, still offers what our villages used to be and what many others strive to be. The site of a 12th century castle and bordered by the ancient woodlands of Wentwood Forest, it is a beautiful, easily accessible setting served by a wonderful public house, the beautiful St Mary's church, after which the village is named and a small, village farm shop selling local produce. The village offers direct access to stunning country and woodland walks, is home to a vibrant, active community hosting a number of events throughout the year and is served by good local and private schools, including Rougemont and Dean Close St John's.
