Set in the very heart of the historic village of Grosmont, Emily House is a home that offers far more than just space, it offers a way of life. From morning walks through rolling countryside, to evenings spent by the fire or at the village pub just moments away, this is a setting where life slows down and community takes centre stage. With the striking ruins of Grosmont Castle quite literally a stone’s throw away, you are surrounded by history, beauty and a true sense of place.

Stepping through the door, you are immediately met with warmth and character. Throughout the home, exposed beams, stone walls and fireplaces tell the story of a property that has stood the test of time. While the property would now benefit from a programme of updating, it presents an exciting opportunity to create a home tailored to your own style, all whilst already benefiting from modern additions such as air source heating and solar panels.

The first reception room provides a generous and inviting space, centred around a feature fireplace, perfect for long dinners with friends and family. A second, equally spacious reception room offers a more relaxed feel, complete with a stove, ideal for cosy evenings in. From here, a staircase leads to three bedrooms, including the primary bedroom, with the smallest of the rooms having previously been used as a bathroom, offering potential to reinstate if desired, creating a layout that feels both unique and full of personality.

At the heart of the home sits the open plan kitchen diner, designed for modern living, with a central peninsula, space to gather, and direct access out to the garden. A second staircase leads to an additional bedroom, along with a bathroom and separate WC, offering flexibility for guests, older children or even multi generational living.

Outside is where this home truly comes into its own. To the rear, a substantial garden enjoys sun throughout the day, providing the perfect space for everything from summer barbecues to quiet mornings with a coffee. The views stretch across the village, taking in the castle, the church steeple and the surrounding countryside, a constant reminder of the setting you are lucky enough to call home. There is side access plus a rear set of steps leading down to the basement level, currently used as a workshop and hobby space, where a feature historic well offers a nod to the home’s rich history. To the front, a courtyard provides gated parking along with access to the cellar, adding both practicality and further character to the property.

Grosmont is one of those villages that people move to and rarely leave. Positioned on the border of Monmouthshire and Herefordshire, it sits just over 11 miles from Abergavenny and around 14 miles from Hereford, offering the perfect balance of countryside living with access to larger towns and amenities. Rich in history, the village was once one of the most important settlements in Wales, and today remains a thriving community with a village pub, local events and a strong sense of belonging. For families, a well regarded primary school can be found in nearby Cross Ash. Whether it’s walking straight from your front door into open countryside, becoming part of a welcoming village community, or simply enjoying the peace and beauty of your surroundings, Emily House offers a lifestyle that is increasingly hard to find.

All measurements, floorplans, and land plans are there to give you a rough idea, and are approximate. While we’ve done our best to make sure everything is accurate, we recommend double-checking the details with your solicitor. We haven’t tested any of the services or appliances, so we can’t guarantee they’re in working order. The photos are for marketing purposes, so please don’t assume that everything you see is included with the property. We may at times, use editing or virtual staging to enhance the marketing of properties. Some fixtures and fittings may also be available by separate negotiation.

However, it’s essential that all details are verified by your solicitor, and everything we’ve provided is given in good faith, based on information from our sellers and our own research.

Our Services

From time to time, we might recommend third-party services like mortgages, legal advice, or surveys. In most cases, we don’t get any financial incentives for doing this, but there may be a few instances where we do. Rest assured, anyone using a recommended provider won’t receive preferential treatment and it won't affect their position or priority over other interested parties. Their choice is always their own.
