Vendor's Notes

Number 33 was named The Chalet because it is situated on a ridge overlooking what is popularly known as Swiss Valley on account of its scenic beauty and also because, in its original form, it was flanked by two long sloping roofs. It was built in 1927 on land which, until then, had belonged to Lord Tredegar. The site had been earmarked for the erection of a cathedral to serve the newly created diocese of Monmouth, but funds ran out and the project was abandoned. Instead, a local builder built a house for himself in order, it was said, to demonstrate that he had ‘arrived’. He incorporated some interesting features into the house, such as a gilt window frame, brought from Tredegar House (it had been made too small for the intended window there), and mythological stone heads from the old mansion of Cefn Mably. The house changed hands a couple of times before the current owners acquired it in 1985. Each owner made some changes or extensions. One such alteration was the installation of a fine mahogany staircase, which once graced the premises of Saxone shoe shop in town. The doors to the dining room and lounge each have a glazed panel featuring an Aesop fable. The fable of the tortoise and the hare is depicted in the door to the dining room and the brass and earthenware pots in the lounge door.
