Cadw's description
Location
Situated at head of main drive to Cilwendeg, the western lodge of a pair, on B 4332, E of Boncath.
History
Probably built c 1830 by Morgan Jones 2 of Cilwendeg as two lodges are recorded in 1833 as `recently built by the present proprietor' but these may be the lodges at Newchapel. Marked on 1846 Tithe Map.

Three-bay front with plain pilasters at angles and framing recessed centre entry, with 6-panel door and overlight. Raised plinth and eaves band. 12-pane sashes in square headed recesses each side of door and on N end wall, and N side of wing. Blank similar windows in S end wall and W rear wall of wing. Plinth is set back at window recesses.
Railings include quadrant running NW to ashlar terminal pier and the smaller part of the original entrance screen, a length of rails and main gates with two similar piers. Ashlar low copingand spearhead rails with cast-iron spears. High ashlar piers with moulded bases, broad cornices and two-step caps. Main gates have similar rails and dog-bars, ramped top-rails and mid-rails with cast-iron roundels.
