Cwm Bwchel Farmhouse, Llanthony, Monmouthshire is a farmhouse dating from the late-Medieval period. It carries a date stone of 1694, which probably refers to a period of reconstruction. The farmhouse is Grade II* listed and a number of the ancillary buildings on the farmstead have their own Grade II listings.

History and description

[edit]

The architectural historian John Newman describes Cwm Bwchel as an "inaccessible farmstead".[1] The farm is sited on a hill overlooking Llanthony Priory. Cadw gives a construction date of the late medieval period. Newman notes the date stone on the doorcase with the owner's initials and a date of 1694.[1] Cadw attributes this to a 17th-century reconstruction. The house was refaced in the 18th and 19th centuries.[2] It remains a private home and the 20th century saw further remodelling of the ancillary buildings.[3]

Cwn Bwchel is constructed of Old Red Sandstone rubble under a roof of Welsh slate.[2] The farmhouse is Grade II* listed,[2] with the barn,[4] former kitchen[5] and stables having their own Grade II listings.[6]
