Cadw's description
Location
Facing the SE entrance to Bodlondeb.
History
Contemporary with the main house, which was built in 1877 by T.M. Lockwood, architect of Liverpool.
Exterior
A picturesque Domestic-revival 1½-storey lodge of snecked rubble with lighter limestone rock-faced dressings. Attic and gables are timber-framed with whitened pebble-dash square panels. Barge boards project on brackets and are in the form of an arched brace to a moulded collar and finial. The tile roof has cresting and overhanging eaves. The lodge has a main gabled range with a short wing set back on its R side, with porch in the angle between the two. The gable-end front has a 3-light canted bay window incorporating wooden casements, and frosted and coloured leaded lights above transoms. The gable projects on corbelled brackets and has a 2-light small-pane casement window to the attic.
Set slightly back to the R is the outshut porch, which has a replacement glazed door. Behind it is the wing, which has a timber-framed gable with chevron bracing, and 2-light small-pane casement window. The L side wall has a single-light window to the R, with frosted and coloured glass similar to the front window. In the centre is tall lateral rock-faced stone stack, partly obscured by a C20 2-window outshut added to the L side.
Interior
Not inspected.
Reason for designation
Listed for its special architectural interest as a lodge of definite C19 character, and for group value with Bodlondeb and other associated listed items.
