Cornwall House, Grade II* listed townhouse in Monnow Street, Monmouth, Wales.
Cornwall House is a Georgian townhouse on Monnow Street in Monmouth featuring two main stories and an attic level, enhanced by a prominent iron-railed forecourt added around 1770. The facade displays the balanced proportions and details typical of that period.
The structure originated in the 17th century and was recorded as the Great House under George Milborne's ownership in 1678. It later underwent renovation and received the Georgian style facade that defines it today.
The building has served as the main office of the Monmouthshire Beacon newspaper since 1987, keeping its role in local communications alive. The spaces inside blend historical rooms with contemporary editorial work.
The private residence opens to visitors during selected weekends from March through September. Access allows you to explore the Georgian rooms and architectural details throughout the building.
The original walled garden was deliberately designed to offer viewing access for horse races held in the surrounding fields. This unusual purpose reveals how garden design once served the leisure interests of the period.
