Based in a large farmhouse, the Cwm included two houses, called "Upper Cwm" and "Lower Cwm".
They were divided by a walled forecourt and during their prime each was able to generate £60 (equivalent to £10,000 in 2019) annually in rents from its own land.
At one time, Cwm had a library, and some 150 volumes were confiscated and removed to Hereford Cathedral Library.

The original buildings were mostly demolished in 1830 and the existing structure dates from soon afterwards, is on the site of the now demolished 17th-century house that held the Jesuit college and incorporates part of it.
Enough remains of the original house half-way up the long range of hills which slope down to the Monnow to trace the life led by its Jesuit inmates in the penal times.
Originally a shooting box, and subsequently a farmhouse, it is Grade II listed, together with the terrace in front of the house, and the retaining wall to the side, which contains rare bee boles.
There is a wood in the area known today as Cwm Wood.
