Llanddewi Court, Llanddewi Skirrid, Monmouthshire, Wales, is a Grade II* listed house dating from the late 16th century. It is an example of a "double-house", a building in two sections, originally without interconnections, and designed to accommodate two families.
Cadw gives a construction date for the court of the late 16th century, [1] although the architectural historian John Newman describes it as 15th century in origin. [2] Sir Cyril Fox and Lord Raglan, in the second of their multi-volume history, Monmouthshire Houses, describe Llanddewi as a "double house – in two parts apparently without contemporary intercommunication". [3] Later historians, including those responsible for the Cadw listing, are less certain, noting the close similarities to the White Hart Inn in nearby Llangybi which had a contemporary connecting passage. [1] The house, still a private home, [4] has been altered in subsequent centuries, although Newman and Cadw disagree as to the extent of this rebuilding, Newman describing the court as "much enlarged, altered and modernized" [2] while Cadw contends that the exterior has seen little alteration, although it acknowledges significant internal modernization. [1]
Llanddewi Court is of two storeys and is constructed of old red sandstone rubble which has been whitewashed in parts. The roof is of Welsh slate. The building has a Grade II* listing, in recognition of its "specially interesting" plan. [1] The court's barn, and its ox house have their own Grade II listings. [5] [6]
