  Location of Tredean House in Monmouthshire | |
Tredean House, Devauden, Monmouthshire is a country house dating from 1901 to 1902. It was designed in an Arts and Crafts style by the architect Arthur Jessop Hardwick. The client was a Henry Simpson. The house, a Grade II* listed building, remains a private residence and is not visible from the public highway, although the gatehouse can be seen.
In the early 20th century the Dukes of Beaufort sold off their extensive Monmouthshire estates, centred on Troy House.[1] The site of Tredean was purchased by a Mr Henry Simpson,[2] who began the construction of a large house in the Arts and Crafts style.[2] His architect was Arthur Hardwick and the house was completed between 1901 and 1902.[2] Tredean remains a private house which was marketed for £2.25m in 2002.[3] In 2022 the house, renamed Devauden Manor, was again for sale, with a guide price of £3.5M. The house cannot be seen from the road, although the lodge, also in private ownership[4] and with its own Grade II listing,[5] and which the architectural historian John Newman considered "pert",[6] gives a flavour of the house's style.[5]
