Glen Usk, Grade II* listed mansion in Llanhennock, Wales.

The three-story neoclassical residence displays white stucco walls, shallow slate roofs, and bay windows facing a south-oriented garden front with 16,000 square feet of space.

Sir Digby Mackworth commissioned the construction of Glen Usk in 1820, followed by substantial modifications in 1840 that included a new entrance front and additional wings.

The interior features marble Ionic columns, decorative plasterwork, carved fireplaces, and a central hall leading to formal drawing and dining rooms.

The basement contains entertainment facilities including a bar, dance floor, snooker room, steam room, and gymnasium across multiple vaulted chambers.

The property encompasses 35 acres with ornamental lakes, woodland areas, fishing rights along River Usk, and a Grecian temple that functions as a library.
