Falcondale

A second single track road (The North Drive) can be found on the A482 from Lampeter to Aberaeron, where workers' cottages are, Home Farm and a coach house dating from 1859.

[3] Both drives meet in the centre where the main house is situated, also called Falcondale, which was grade II listed in November 1992.

It was firstly inherited by his nephew John Adams of Whitland Abbey, an MP in Carmarthenshire in 1774–1780, who amassed more debts and eventually sold the estate in 1776 to Albany Wallis the attorney who held the original mortgage.

Once his training for the bar had ended he decided not to follow his Uncle into Harford bank, but "settle at Falcondale, and gradually to bring order out of the chaos into which the estate had sunk, and to provide decent houses and buildings for tenants".

On being grade II listed in November 1992, it was described as an "Italian villa style on an unusually large scale; stuccoed with painted ashlar dressings and deep-eaved low-pitched hipped roofs.

The estate was auctioned by Messers Knight, Franks & Rutley (largely to its tenants) in 1951, the main house of Falcondale being bought by the local council and turned into an old people's home.

Chris and Lisa Hutton (the present owners) bought the property in 2000 and have modernised where required, but the grandeur and architecture of the original building of 1859 mostly remains intact.
