Rock royalty meets regal history as the former home of Led Zeppelin frontman Robert Plant has hit the market, and it’s every bit as grand as you’d expect. The sprawling Grade II-listed country manor in Penallt, Monmouthshire, once a private retreat for the legendary singer, is now up for grabs with an asking price of £2.5 million.
Known as The Argoed, the 17th-century residence was home to Plant during the 1980s, offering him a peaceful escape far from the chaos of life on the road. Now, decades later, fans and buyers alike have the rare chance to step into a property that blends rock ‘n’ roll legacy with centuries of British history.
The manor itself is a stately gem, nestled within 10 acres of lush countryside, complete with an arboretum, stable block, and expansive gardens that have earned a place on the Cadw Register of Parks and Gardens of Special Historic Interest in Wales. With seven bedrooms, five reception rooms, and three storeys of carefully maintained period features, The Argoed is more than a home, it’s a slice of living history.
Adding to its illustrious past, the house even hosted a royal guest long before Plant ever strummed a guitar within its walls. King Charles I is said to have visited the property during the English Civil War, giving The Argoed not just rock credentials, but regal ones too.
Modern updates blend seamlessly with the manor's classic charm. The kitchen, now located at the heart of the home, is fitted with an electric AGA and surrounded by five elegantly styled reception rooms, perfect for entertaining or simply soaking up the tranquil views of the surrounding landscape.
Though Plant moved out years ago, his time at The Argoed is still very much part of the home’s legacy. For diehard Zeppelin fans, it’s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to live in the same rooms once occupied by one of rock’s most iconic voices.
Whether you're drawn by the history, the rock star connection, or the stunning setting, The Argoed is an extraordinary property with stories in every stone. As it hits the market, one thing is clear, this is one house that truly deserves a Whole Lotta Love.
