Led Zeppelin frontman Robert Plant‘s former hideaway country home has been placed on the market for £2.6million.
The lead singer of the English rock band lived in the Grade II-listed manor house in Penallt, Monmouthshire, during the 1980s before moving out.
Buyers hoping to snap up The Argoed, which boasts 10 acres of land with an arboretum and stable block, will also be purchasing a slice of history after it was visited by Charles I during the Civil War.
It was also where George Bernhard Shaw wrote ‘The Man of Destiny’ and ‘Mrs. Warren’s Profession’.
The kitchen has been moved into the heart of the home with an electric AGA and is surrounded by five reception rooms.
A staircase leads to the first floor where there is the principal suite with large Georgian windows and a freestanding bath in the en-suite.
There is also a guest suite with wood panelled walls along with five additional rooms spread across the entire second floor.
The gardens are listed on the Welsh heritage body Cadw Register of Parks and Gardens of Special Historic Interest in Wales.

They are a traditional country house blend of grass, shrubs and borders with sprawling views across the valley.
There is also a Japanese garden set around a water feature, accompanied by an open fronted loggia.
Estate agents Knight Frank said: ‘The Argoed is a beautifully presented and imposing, Grade II listed, three storey country house.
‘The core of the property dates back to Jacobean times.
‘This special home is set within approximately 10 acres, enjoying breathtaking views, an impressive arboretum and a ‘monumental’ stable block.
‘The famed architectural historian, John Newman, described The Argoed quite simply as “tantalising”.’

It comes after another one of Mr Plant’s former homes hit the headlines last month as its new owner said he wants to turn the cottage and the land surrounding it into a micronation.
The Bron-Yr-Aur cottage was used as a holiday home in the 1950s by the family of Mr Plant before he returned to the cottage in the 1970s with his bandmates.
During their stay at the cottage in the 70s, Led Zeppelin used the cottage as a retreat to write music and escape from the crowds of fans who followed them around the country.
It was in the idyllic setting that the band wrote some of their most famous hits, including Stairway to Heaven and Bron-Yr_Aur Stomp.
The cottage has subsequently become a treasured location of rock folklore and attracts thousands of fans every year.
