Background
History
The house was built in the italianate/Romanesque revival style in 1864–65 by the architect David Walker It is set on four and a half acres. The bridge from the main road towards Broneirion was the first iron bridge constructed in Montgomeryshire, designed by Thomas Penson and built by Davies. It spans 90 feet (27.5 m). The Davies family moved into the house in 1864. In 1940, Davies' grandson, David Davies, 1st Baron Davies, offered the use of the house to Gordonstoun school, which needed a new home due to World War II.
