Courtfield, Grade II listed country house in Welsh Bicknor, England
Description
Courtfield is a two-storey, seven-bay country house situated on the west bank of the River Wye in Welsh Bicknor, built in the early 19th century. The building features vaulted ceilings and domed skylights throughout its interior spaces.
History
William Michael Vaughan built the current house in the early 19th century on the site of an older mansion. That earlier house was where King Henry V spent his childhood years.
Culture
The Vaughan family maintained strong Catholic traditions through centuries of religious persecution, with many members pursuing religious vocations as bishops and priests. This faith-centered heritage shapes how the family relates to their home today.
Practical
The property sits about 5 miles south of Ross on Wye and is a private residence now in Vaughan family ownership. The grounds retain the original scenic approach drive and several other Grade II listed structures scattered across the land.
Did you know?
The estate includes multiple Grade II listed outbuildings and retains the original scenic approach drive from what was once a deer park. This layout still shows the planned design typical of a Regency-era country seat.
