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 rubble stone wall with square piers flanking central stone steps, terminating in a pier on the E side and stepped on the W side. The wall has a flat coping and the piers are topped with concrete vases.
