Description
Two lodges, now serving as a tourist information office and store, along with attached walls and gate piers, were built in the mid-19th century and have some 20th-century alterations. They are constructed from ashlar gritstone with ashlar dressings and coursed millstone grit on the sides and walls, topped with Welsh slate roofs.
The exterior features single-storey facades with two-storey interiors. The street front of both lodges has rusticated facades, each topped with a pediment supported by single end pilasters and a plain frieze. The central doorways have cornices on brackets and plain battered architraves. The north lodge has paired plain sash windows on either side of the central doorway. The right side of the north lodge has two horned sash windows, while the rear elevation has been re-ordered in the 20th century with a rendered attic storey. The left side of the west lodge features single 20th-century casement windows on each floor, with a doorway to the right in a chamfered ashlar surround.
The interior has not been inspected. The four gate piers are made of rusticated ashlar blocks topped with pyramidal caps on narrow scrolled paired brackets, and there are ornate cast-iron gates. The wall attached to the west lodge is buttressed at intervals on the right.
