Penylan Farm is a distinguished historic home with accommodation totalling in excess of 4000 sq ft, it is being sold with the full benefit of no onward chain and its origins are thought to date back to the late 16th century. The accommodation spans three floors, offering versatile living spaces with three characterful reception rooms plus a garden room, and seven bedrooms - several with en-suite facilities - making it ideal for family life, guests, or multi-generational living. With its blend of heritage, craftsmanship, and comfort, Penylan Farm offers a rare opportunity to acquire a historic country home in a beautiful rural setting. The established gardens extend to approximately 1.1 acres with all elevations enjoying countryside views.
This characterful property is ideally situated between the beautiful villages of Caerwent and Penhow. Within the Roman village of Caerwent, you'll find a range of amenities including a farm shop and post office, a church, a public house, and a garage. The village hall, playing field, and community centre host a variety of social and sports activities, fostering a strong sense of community.
Penhow, being the closer village, is a sought-after area, popular with commuters, families, and those seeking a countryside lifestyle, thanks to the nearby Wentwood Forest, which is just a short drive away. The village itself offers convenient amenities, including a shop and café, and several well-regarded restaurants.
Penhow boasts excellent road links, providing easy access to the facilities of Chepstow and Newport, as well as the M4 for commuting to Bristol or Cardiff. For sports enthusiasts, The Celtic Manor Resort is a short distance away, offering a comprehensive range of leisure facilities and a championship golf course.
Step inside: - Penylan Farm is a remarkable historic home, its origins believed to date back to the late 16th century. Around 1670, the house was elevated and extended to the distinctive form it retains today. It was during this period that the striking three-storey porch and elegant rear staircase were added, giving the property its unmistakable presence. The house showcases an abundance of original features that speak of its rich past: A magnificent studded oak entrance door opens into a traditional cross-passage hall; an immense stone fireplace, stretching floor to ceiling, commands the room with its heavy stone lintel and integrated bread oven; while a second, more intimate fireplace with a monolithic surround provides character and warmth elsewhere.
Throughout, details such as stone mullion windows, chamfered ceiling beams, and a broad, gently turning staircase reinforce the property's historic integrity. Beneath the kitchen lies a vaulted cellar with flagstone floor and wine bins, accessed externally - a rare survival and testament to the home's 400-year legacy.
The current owners acquired Penylan Farm in 2018 when it was in need of thoughtful restoration. Sensitive to the house's heritage, they embarked on an extensive programme of works, ensuring that every period detail was preserved while carefully introducing modern comforts. The property has since been rewired and re-plumbed, with the addition of a bespoke kitchen/breakfast room, updated bathrooms and shower rooms, and a complete decorative renewal. The result is a home of immense character, balancing centuries-old craftsmanship with a warm, welcoming atmosphere and a level of comfort suited to modern living. Generous ceiling heights and well-proportioned rooms add to the overall sense of space and elegance.
The accommodation is arranged across three floors, with each level offering rooms full of individuality and charm. The sitting room and family room are particularly rich in character, both featuring open fireplaces and a wealth of exposed historic detail. The bespoke kitchen/breakfast room, fitted with an Aga, forms the heart of the home and flows naturally into the garden room which offers a vantage point for the commanding views across the valley. There is also a well-proportioned dining room, able to accommodate a full-sized dining table.
The wide staircase rises to the first floor, where a spacious landing provides access to four main bedrooms. The principal suite includes a generous en-suite with walk-in shower, while an adjoining spacious room - currently used as a home office - offers scope to become an en-suite dressing room if desired. There is also a superb bathroom on this level which includes a free-standing roll top bath and oversized shower enclosure, and another of the bedrooms has an additional room leading off, again providing flexibility.
The second floor offers an additional level of flexibility and charm. A landing, with a stunning beamed vaulted ceiling, complete with Belfast sink and integrated fridge, serves three further bedrooms. Two of these rooms benefit from en-suite facilities - one with a bathroom and the other with a shower room - making the space ideal as a semi-independent suite for guests, extended family and multi-generational living options.
In all, Penylan Farm presents a rare opportunity to acquire a historic country home of exceptional character. With its fine architectural features, sympathetic modernisation, and idyllic rural setting, it is a property that blends heritage, comfort, and versatility in equal measure.
Outside - Penylan Farm is approached by a long driveway that leads to a broad parking area beside the house, providing off road parking for several vehicles. To the rear lies an oak-framed open-fronted store with an adjoining lock-up, together with a large timber implement and garden store, providing excellent storage and practical working space.
The gardens, extending to approximately 1.1 acres, wrap around the house on three sides and enjoy uninterrupted views over adjoining farmland and countryside. Designed to be low-maintenance, they are predominantly laid to well-manicured lawned areas with intersecting pathways, bordered by mature trees and carefully planted beds. A designated area has been created for a kitchen garden, providing scope for home-grown produce. The grounds combine beauty and practicality, offering tranquil outdoor living while requiring minimal upkeep.
Vendor insights:
"This has been the most incredible family home - full of character, with original 16th-century features, open fires, and a warm, welcoming feel. It's peaceful, south-facing, and the views are simply stunning. The spacious layout and large, flat garden have been perfect for raising our children and enjoying both quiet moments and lively gatherings. Cosy in winter, amazing in summer we've loved every season here. Now that our kids have grown up, it's time for the next family to fall in love with it, just as we did."

The property is Grade II listed.
