History
Estate-built park lodge built as one of a number by Whitehall Dod of Llannerch Hall in the 1850s, 60s and 70s in 'model farm' Tudorbethan style. Modern enlargement in same style.
Exterior

There are two chimneys, that to the front with 3 grouped stacks; both are staged and have moulded and dentilated cornicing. The building is distinctive for its 2- and 3-light iron-framed lozenge-patterned glazing. The long (road-facing) side has a single-storey wooden open porch with slated, gabled roof, deep verges and plain bargeboards; stopped-chamfered supporting posts with curved braces. The door is boarded and has simple decorative hinges. Enlarged behind and with some modern features but generally repeating original detailing.
