East Lodge, also known as Llety Glyd (which translates as cosy nook, but sounds rather more graceful in Welsh) is one of the original Lodge houses of the old Golden Grove estate. The original encumbents, the Vaughans of Golden Grove, were of royal and noble Welsh lineage, but in 1804 the estate passed to John Campbell, Lord Cawdor of Castlemartin, later 1st Earl Cawdor. At the heart of the old historical estate is Golden Grove Mansion that is now owned by the Golden Grove Trust (set up to restore and preserve the house and landscape) together with further land including the country park and West Lodge which is currently being renovated. The lodge is grade II listed and the listing describes the property as
Mid to later C19 former E lodge to Golden Grove (Gelli Aur) built for the Earl Cawdor. Not marked on 1841 Tithe Map. No architects name has been discovered for this and other well-designed estate buildings squared red sandstone with tooled dressings, plain clay tile steep roofs with crested ridges, timber spearhead finials and stone corniced stacks. Picturesque cottage style, L-plan Included as a well-designed Victorian lodge, detailed with unusual care
The property has been sympathetically renovated and refurbished over the years and is now a popular holiday let. The lodge would also make for a delightful cosy home or bolthole in the country.
There is an option to purchase adjoining land by separate negotiation.
