Unique and spacious, having been extensively refurbished, Springfield House offers a stunning gracious home AVAILABLE FULLY FURNISHED. Arranged over almost 10,000 sq ft with nearly all eight bedrooms benefiting from an ensuite and in some cases an additional dressing room.

The wing of the house could alternatively be utilised as a self-contained 2/3 ensuite bedroomed annexe. A plethora of other rooms provide for a gym, offices and various wine and general stores. There is level wheelchair access and a passenger lift to the first floor. Set in beautiful rolling Monmouthshire countryside, on the edge of the sought-after village of Llanvair Discoed, lawned gardens of over an acre are accessed through electric gates with private horseshoe driveway leading up to a double garage.
