History
The origin of the house is late-medieval, possibly 1490-1520. This building would have formed a traditional hall-house, with a cross passage and a solar. In the early 1600s, the building was reconstructed for the Wroth family. Further rebuilding took place in the early 20th century, with a building date of 1913 inscribed above the front door. Following dereliction in the later 20th century, a further reconstruction took place between 1985-2000. In 2013, the Court was for sale with a guide price of £850,000.

Architecture and description
The architectural historian John Newman describes the Court as "wholly unplanned". His Gwent/Monmouthshire volume in the Buildings of Wales series calls the Court, Llangattock House". The building is of stone, in an L-shaped plan. Sir Cyril Fox and Lord Raglan, in their multi-volume history, Monmouthshire Houses, record a "monumental fireplace". Cadw describes this feature as, "a very large and fine c1600 moulded stone fireplace". The Court is a Grade II* listed building.
