Glendower House, Glendower Street, Monmouth.

Price guide: £690,000

OUT of a former Grade II* listed chapel, built by Bristolian architect Armstrong, comes Glendower House - a hymn to the modern age.

Originally constructed in 1844, the current owners have created an immense feeling of space and light with the main hall converted into a two-storey structure and an open double height atrium at its centre.

The main living space lies around the gallery on the first floor while the bedrooms and bathrooms lead off the ground floor hall.

With the historical features (seven cast-iron Corinthian columns mark the first example of cast-iron to be used in Monmouth from the Tintern Ironworks) kept carefully in mind, the finished result means many individually designed elements such as light fittings, bespoke joinery and plasterwork.

Interior finishes include coloured metallic paint, cork Amtico and Domus tiles, solid wood flooring and architectural ironmongery.

Briefly, the house also includes five bedrooms, two bathrooms, a guest bedroom suite with dressing room and bathroom, a shower room, gardens, a workshop and store.
