Welsh monastery with controversial history for sale for £1.5 million

In the rolling green hills of Monmouthshire, close to the market town of Abergavenny, lies a whitewashed stone monastery, built in the 19th century. This is Capel-y-Ffin Monastery, set around a square central courtyard and surrounded by eight acres of gardens and grounds. Outside, there is a white statue of the Virgin Mary and the stone ruins of a former church, now part of the greenery.

If you’ve ever dreamed of enjoying the tranquillity of a monastery —without the commitment to a monastic lifestyle— this is your chance. Capel-y-Ffin has been listed for sale with Fine & Country for £1.5million.
