Caerau Mansion

There is a group of buildings at Caerau which form a mansion and outbuildings, the mansion became Grade II* listed in 1970. [1] The original house was built in the late 1600s, then an almost-separate large extension was added in 1730, in the form of another building with a wing to attach the two. A separate stable block, latrine block and gateway have their own heritage listings. [2]

As of 2020, the mansion had been reported to have been unoccupied for many years and was in need of major reconstruction. [3]
