Tower, walls and courtyard buildings

An enclosed courtyard S of the remains of the Penrhos House, closed to N by a crenellated segmental arched gateway, with keystone. Right (W) of the gateway is the Tower; principally comprising a 3-storey square tower for service accommodation (also said to include Dairy, Laundry and Gun-Room), extended to N by storeyed lean-to extension (rendered) and single storey gabled wing; front (E) elevation with single-storeyed entrance range, stepped flanking turret at SE corner with subsidiary, pointed arched gateway to garden, bordered by a further crenellated wall which steps forward with small corner towers and arrowslits. Tower is of rubble construction with corbelled and crenellated parapet and band courses between floors; hipped slate roof. Voussoirs to square-headed windows with modern small-paned lights; 1-window main elevations but 2-windows facing outhouse to N; outside stairs to S roofed over. Left (E) of the main gateway is a gable ended range to the rear of the Penrhos House remains, with a Gothic timber bellcote with fishscale roof.

The entrance to the tower leads into the dairy which occupies the ground floor of the main part. The dairy retains tiled walls containing friezes of pastoral scenes; an ornate cast iron fire surround has recently been re-set in the dairy and the upstairs room has a green marble fire surround, probably also re-set recently.
