Property Summary
St John’s is one of Monmouth’s finest houses, unassuming from the front and grand at the rear. It is a substantial period town house with spacious reception rooms and a large private walled garden backing onto Chippenham Mead, giving a parkland outlook. Dating back from the 17th Century with early 19th Century additions and Grade II listed, the house opens into a handsome reception hall with an impressive staircase, which runs through the heart of the house.Doors lead off to the main reception rooms which have in recent years been reopened to their original proportions. Much of the original character and period features remain including shuttered windows, dado rails, polished floorboards, exposed beams and some excellent fireplaces.
Full Details
Outside
The south facing gardens are a complete delight. From the Coalbrookdale verandah, stone steps lead down to a lawn flanked by high brick walls, herbaceous beds and flagstone paths. This opens up to a larger area of formal lawn with low banks, gravelled pathways and a variety of mature shrubs and fruit trees which combine to create a riot of colour. The flanking stone walls ensure privacy and security, and a garden gate opens onto Chippenham Mead Park. To the side a door leads through to a tarmac parking area with 2 garages owned by St John’s and additional private parking space.
