Grand Lodge and forecourt walling

2-storey entrance lodge and forecourt walling in the neo-Norman style of Penrhyn Castle. Rectangular plan with corbelled and battlemented circular corner turrets and central arched carriage entrance, the whole constructed of Anglesey limestone ashlar with roof concealed behind parapet, below string course of which is a frieze of interlacing round-headed ornament or blind arcading, the elevations identical on each side. Central arch-way, which has coat-of-arms above, is of 2 stepped orders with full-height columns and hoodmould; heavy grilled double gates, including grille to tympanum, on entrance side. The soffit of the arch-way has a plain rib vault with carved boss to centre; columns to corners with chevron moulding at impost level. Entrances to domestic accommodation in side walls flanking drive-way; round-headed with simple moulding and recessed ribbed plank doors. Lanterns over arch-way on entrance side and over left doorway under arch. For a short distance either side of the lodge the park wall is of dressed limestone ashlar, taller and with dressed stone coping, including section on east returning to south, before reverting to its general rougher style; there are also ashlar dwarf walls around areas of lawn forming forecourts funnelling the drive; these were originally topped by railings, the fixings for which can still be seen.

Interior not accessible at time of Survey.
