Background
History
A house of some sort stood on the site in the early 12th century and this was largely rebuilt by Edward Kemeys, High Sheriff of Glamorgan, in the Tudor style in the late 16th century. It was described by the Cardiff Times in 1893 as one of the finest and most historic country seats in Wales". It was inherited by Sir Charles Kemeys Tynte in the mid 18th century and then acquired by Courtenay Morgan, 1st Viscount Tredegar in 1920. The building was badly damaged in a fire in 1994 and subsequently became derelict. In the early 2000s it was restored and converted into apartments.
