A MANSION famed for housing pop-stars from The Eagles to Iggy Pop is on the market for £1.5million.
The Old Priory is the ultimate party pad escape with over 4,500 square feet of living space, a separate guest house and a pool.
Several famous musicians resided there whilst recording at the infamous Rockfield and Monnow Valley Studios on the Welsh border.
The agents said: “Stories abound of The Eagles drawing large crowds during their stay and Iggy Pop joining locals for a pool party.”
The pool provides the ideal entertaining space with plenty of room for both celebration and relaxation.
The eight-bedroom detached house sits in 1.9 acres of gardens and offers a separate 3 bedroom guest house.

The home and the former motel were named after an old stone cottage home to two monks that once stood on the grounds.
Nearby you will find the 12th Century Skinforth Castle encircled by the River Monnow in a picture-postcard view.
The award-winning pub and restaurant the Bell at Skenfrith is also found in the neighbouring village bringing a touch of culinary luxury to the area.
Rightmove said in the listing: “Life here moves at a different pace. It’s a place where you can take evening walks by the river, chat with friendly locals, and enjoy a sense of community that has grown over generations.”
Despite the rural location, the house is well-connected to Abergavenny and Monmouth both boasting restaurants, shops, cafes, schools and transport links.
“We’ve really enjoyed our time at The Old Priory and being part of the welcoming community in Skenfrith.
“Summers have been spent swimming in the River Monnow beside the castle, with the children floating down on their inflatables and wandering back across the field in the evening light.
“As the seasons change, autumn and winter offer quiet walks from the doorstep and a dog-walking field just across the road.
“After seven years, this has been much more than just a house, it’s been a place where our family has grown and made lasting memories,” the owners said.
