Grange Farmhouse Farm Buildings, Newcastle, Monmouthshire
History and description
The complex appears to have been built in two phases, from the early 18th century. The more southernly of the two barns carries a datestone inscribed "1702". The complex is on a surprisingly large scale for a relatively minor farm, but Cadw can suggest no explanation for this.
The grouping surrounds a farmyard and consists of a stable, two barns, a couple of cow houses, a shelter shed and a walled poultry enclosure with adjacent duckpond. The buildings of constructed of Old Red Sandstone rubble, a traditional material for Monmouthshire. The roofs, originally of slate, are now of corrugated iron sheeting. The complex has a Grade II* listing, its record describing is as "an impressive and exceptionally complete complex of early-18th-century farm buildings". The associated farmhouse has its own listing of Grade II.
