- A brief history of the house:
Built for William Rea, ironmaster and former Mayor of Monmouth in circa 1720, the house was given all new windows and a new entrance doorway in c1800, apparently by another ironmaster, David Tanner. Much of the panelling and plasterwork in its present form probably dates from the restoration by Humphrey Farran Hall in 1910. The building was re-roofed in the late C20 and all the large chimney stacks removed. The property was most recently used as a boarding house for Monmouth School.
The garden, garden walls, railings and gateway (circa 1800), are Grade II listed in their own right, whilst the gardens are also designated as Registered Historic Parks And Gardens (RHPG).
