[1] From the 1600s the Peterswell estate had been owned by the Evans and then the Lloyd families, but due to financial problems and absentee owners the house was left empty and became derelict.
[2] The estate was acquired in 1812 by Richard Hart-Davis, who planted several hundred thousand trees and possibly rebuilt the house.
On his death in 1875 the property passed to his son John Charles Harford, who, like his father, was appointed High Sheriff of Cardiganshire.
It consists of a yard with a two-storey coach house on one side flanked by single storey wings and is listed as being a fine example of estate buildings of the period.
The coach house, North Lodge and Falcondale Home Farm are Grade II listed buildings.
