He demolished the existing building and built the current house, designed by the leading architect Sir Jeffry Wyatville, 700 yards (640 m) to the south-west above the original (begun 1827, completed 1834). In 1804, the estate was bequeathed by John Vaughan, the last of the Golden Grove Vaughans, to his Oxford friend John Frederick Campbell, Lord Cawdor of Castlemartin, later 1st Earl Cawdor. This was destroyed by fire and replaced in 1754 by a Neoclassical box of fine quality, with a long Doric-columned portico. The first was built in 1560 by the Vaughan family, which was later ennobled as Earls of Carbery. There have been three mansions on the estate. Golden Grove ( Welsh: Gelli Aur) is a mansion and estate in the Welsh county of Carmarthenshire, located 4 miles (6 km) southwest of Llandeilo.
