The Gellidywyll estate has origins from the 16th century and was owned by the Lewes and Brigstock families in the 18th and 19th centuries. The 18th century original farm buildings are still in use, though there is now no trace of the original mansion apart from cellars beneath the ground. The house had been 3-storeyed with five windows on the two upper stories, the central windows being round-headed, or semi-circular in the case of the upper storey. There was a central entrance doorway on the ground floor with a curved porch. The house that remains is a rebuilt wing which had extended behind the main house. The mansion was demolished c1973.
