Property Details

History of the Property.
Brynhonddu origionates from around the sixteenth century as a small Estate known as Bwlch Trewyn; It was sold off in 1790, by the owners of Trewyn Estate to the Reverend Morgan Morgan, Rector of Oldcastle and Vicar of Walterstone and was extensively extended. The estate was passed down through the distaff line of the Morgan family, named Ely, then in 1928 it was purchased by Mr. & Mrs. Festing. In 1922 the house was renamed Brynhonddu which translates as 'hill above the Honddu River'. In 1945 it past to Mr. & Mrs. Llewellyn who at the time owned Llanvaply Court (situated to the East of Abergavenny) which was being utilised by the Land Army for food production. Brynhonddu served as a dwelling and as a base for their horse breeding activities. In 1951 Brynhonddu passed to the Wall brothers and their families, who in 1960 split the house into two separate dwellings due the a difference of opinion between their wives! It is understood that in the past the compliment of staff employed at the house included 4 maids and 6 gardeners. We also believe that one of the owners from the 19th century was a ships captain and traded in tea and introduced some of the non-indigenous tree species from around the world. We are fortunate to have in the grounds one of the oldest Ginkgo biloba trees in the counrty. We have identified in the grounds 49 different tree species and 46 different bird spicies. The property is mentioned in Sir Joseph Bradney's 'A History of Monmouthshire' in Part 2a - The Hundreds of Abergavenny (Part 1).
