Property hunters will be dazzled after £2million was dropped off the asking price of a manor house in South Wales with a neo-Grecian temple, an underground games room, 75 acres of peacock-dotted land and a tennis court.

Glen Usk Manor House has seen its price drop from £6.5million to £4.5 million due to ‘personal reasons’ – offering this Grade II-listed Regency building for a bargain.

On the property is the Grecian-style temple, built in 1990, with panelled bookshelves and a minstrels gallery, which has acted as a film set over the years due to its unique design. 

Like the manor house itself, the temple is also a Grade II Listed building, according to the from agent Number One Real Estate.
