History
A house of some sort stood there in the early 12th century and this was largely rebuilt in the Tudor architecture style in the 16th century; the east wing was subsequently rebuilt from 1688 in Georgian architecture style.[1]
As a manor house, in 1893 it was described by the Cardiff Times as one of the finest and most historic country seats in Wales".[2] The building was leased by Lord Tredegar at very low cost to the local health authority as a tuberculosis sanatorium in the 1920s. At its opening in 1924 it held 112 patients.[1] Subsequently it became a geriatric hospital.
When it closed down in 1983, the building, which was listed,[3] became derelict.[4] A fire raged through the building in 1994:[2] the remains of the building were eventually converted to luxury apartments.
