Vebraalto.Com Llantwit Major, CF61 1SP Price £1,100,000 High Street, Cowbridge CF71 7AF T: 01446 771777 E: [email protected] Parts of 'The Old Castle' date back over 500 years. Built by the Vans family of Marcross who did further work on the original building about 100 years later and built the castle which stands there today. The last person to occupy the property was around 1670, although the current owner purchased the property around 2011 from the local authority. The property was scheduled as an ancient monument, a higher listing than Grade I and all the work has been overlooked and supervised by Cadw due to the importance of the building. Any work that has been done whether replacing sandstone windows, masonry, plaster etc has all been done as it would have been 500 years ago using the same techniques and materials as it was a stipulation by Cadw ‐ total conservation. The plan was to create a property that adhered to modern living standards, whilst retaining the heritage and uniqueness of the castle aesthetic. This is a very rare opportunity to own and live in a property from this era. Adjoining the restored area of the castle are other parts which could also be restored subject to any necessary consents being obtained. There is a substantial and very private entirely stone walled garden and an additional paddock and parking area amounting to approximately 2 acres. The property stands in the historic part of Llantwit Major with its narrow winding streets and range of character properties. Excellent facilities within easy walking distance include a wide range of shops both national and local, schooling of excellent reputation for all ages, sporting and recreational facilities etc. Llantwit Major railway station is on the coastal line to Cardiff to Bridgend. Cardiff Wales Airport is just a short drive away. About a mile or so to the south is Llantwit Major beach which is on the heritage coastline. Easy access to the major road network brings major centres such as the capital city of Cardiff etc all within comfortable commuting distance. • The Old Castle dates back over 500 years. • Built by the Vans family of Marcross. • Purchased in a derelict condition in 2011. • Scheduled as an Ancient Monument. • Set in circa 2 acres. • Retains ultimate heritage and castle aesthetic.

    GLAMORGAN RECORD OFFICE/ARCHIFDY MORGANNWG DC Reference code(s): GB 0214 DC Title: Carne family of Nash Manor records Creation date(s): 1208-1951 Level of description: Fonds Extent: 1.5 cubic metres (c. 1440 items) Name of creator(s): Carne family, Nash manor CONTEXT Administrative/Biographical history: The Carne family was established at Nash, Glamorgan, when Howell Carne of Cowbridge married Tibbet, daughter and heiress of Alexander Giles of Nash. The estate then descended in direct male line until John Carne died without male issue, the estate passing to his brother, William Carne. William's son and heir was Sir Edward Carne. The estate then descended in the male line until the death in 1798 of the Rev. John Carne (d. 1798), rector of Plumtree, Nottinghamshire, and prebendary of Llandaff, whose only daughter, Eleanor died without issue in 1842. The estate then devolved under entail upon Eleanor Carne, daughter of Captain Charles Loder Carne who married secondly the Rev. Robert Nicholl of Dimlands, (1763-1849), 6th son of Whitlock Nicholl (1720-1788) of The Ham, Glamorgan, and brother of the Rev. Iltyd Nicholl (1743-1787), rector of Treddington, Worcestershire. The Rev. Robert Nicholl inherited the Nash estate in right of his wife and assumed the surname Carne. He was succeeded by Robert Charles Nicholl-Carne who died in 1869. The Nicholl family have been seated at The Ham, Glamorgan, for nearly 300 years, and before that were found at Llantwit Major. Iltyd Nicholl of Llantwit Major acquired The Ham in Glamorgan, following his marriage to Cecil, daughter and heiress of Edmond Turberville of The Ham.

    DNCA Reference code(s): GB 0214 DNCA Title: Nicholl Carne Family Papers Creation date(s): 1842-2002 Level of description: Fonds Extent: 0.18 cubic metres (6 archive boxes, 1 wooden box, 1 roll & 1 packet) Name of creator(s): Nicholl-Carne family CONTEXT Administrative/Biographical history: The earliest references to the Nicholl family first occur in Glamorgan in the late 15th century, in connection with the Great House, alias Ty Mawr, and the Ham from 1597, but until the mid 19th century were comparatively modest landowners in Llantwit Major and nearby parishes, notably Coety and Laleston. Their prominence largely develops from the time of the Rev. Robert Nicholl (1763-1849), of the Ham, Llantwit Major, ordained in 1787, curate of Chevenage, Gloucestershire, 1788-1789, and later rector of Port Eynon, Glamorgan, (1795) and Llanmaes, Glamorgan (1824). Robert received bequests in 1783 and 1786, and an annuity of £105 under the will of his father, Whitlock (d 1788). This enabled him to purchase, in 1791, the estate of the late Thomas Lewis in Llanblethian, Glamorgan, but he remained heavily dependent on donations from relatives until his marriage to Mary Woodward, of Chevenage. In 1795, they moved to Llanmaes House, and he paid more attention to the estate in Llantwit Major. From his father, he had inherited 99 acres, mostly near Dimlands and Frampton, but set about concentrating his estate around Dimlands, and began construction of a mansion there in 1799; up to his death in 1849, he continued to acquire property in the nearby parishes of Llanblethian and Llanmaes and further afield: he acquired land at Brynsach, 1817, by exchange, Westfield, by purchase, and Sheeplays farm, 1835, at an auction of Bute property.
