Description

Tal-y-bont Lodge is a Neo-Norman style building dating from the 19th century, featuring one and two storeys constructed from tooled Anglesey limestone ashlar with flat roofs. The front entrance wall has a gabled centerpiece that includes a wide round-headed archway in two orders supported by Norman columns. This archway is flanked by square corner turrets with battered bases, rectangular "arrow" slits, and nook-shafts. The archway itself contains full-height ribbed double gates and a wicket door. On either side of the screen wall, there are splayed round-headed openings, with a six-paned sash window to the right and a smaller latticed window to the left.

To the right of the driveway, behind the screen wall, is a two-storey square-plan tower that houses the main domestic accommodation. The main section of the tower is located behind and is larger and slightly taller than the projecting front section, which features narrow round-headed splayed windows on each floor of the right return. There is a flat-roofed extension at the front of the tower, which is illuminated by two 20th-century windows inserted into the rubblestone park wall to the right of the screen wall. The interior was not accessible at the time of the survey.
