Sir John Nicholl purchased the Merthyr Mawr Estate in 1804 and planned a new country residence away from the old manor house, Merthyr Mawr Hall (now the site of Home Farm). A new site was chosen below Chapel Hill which overlooks the Ogmore valley. Merthyr Mawr House was built in the period 1806-9 and the park and gardens laid out later, with a garden on the S and W of the house, a kitchen garden to the E and wooded pleasure grounds to the N on Chapel Hill and to the SW. The terrace revetments on the S side of the house were added in the early C20, replacing grass terraces which were still in existence in 1899.
A long wall of rubble sandstone with short return walls at the ends, with square stone piers at the angles and flanking central stone steps. The wall has a flat stone coping and the piers have concrete vases. The terrace is paved with concrete.
