Fit for a king! Grade II listed Welsh manor once owned by Henry VIII comes with an original 15th century bread oven and could be yours for £875,000

A striking Grade II listed Welsh manor that's steeped in history is on the market for £875,000. The medieval property was constructed in 1205 and records imply it was once owned by King Henry VIII.

More recently, the house has been used as a family home, as well as a holiday let after being renovated by the current owner.

It has some unique features, including at ground floor, a 15th century bread oven recessed in the kitchen, as well as wooden beams and medieval stonework surrounding many of the windows.

There is a choice of three separate staircases leading to the first floor, which has a Great Dining Hall and a library room.

The Great Dining Hall has original hardwood flooring and a latticed full-height oak window. It leads to an equally decorative master bedroom with an en suite.

The Great Dining Hall also has a feature fireplace with a cobblestone hearth and a spiral staircase leading to the second floor and three further bedrooms.

Henry VIII is understood to have acquired the Welsh property called Llanthony Secunda Manor in 1536, when he also acquired a large amount of land in England and Wales at the time of the dissolution of the monasteries.

Records suggest that Henry VIII probably never visited the property - but he appointed a farmer who collected rents from tenants living at the site.

Henry VIII was King of England from 1509 until his death in 1547. He was perhaps best known for his six marriages.

Laura Howard, of property website Zoopla, said: 'Property doesn't come much more historic than this. 'Built in 1205, and extended during the 15th Century, this five-bedroom detached house in South Wales is believed to have been owned by none other than King Henry VIII during the dissolution of the monasteries.
