Description
The Adjoining Arched Gateway to Howel-Sele Lodge is a small, two-storey lodge with an irregular plan, built from coursed rubble and topped with a slate roof. The main facade features a large shallow canted bay that includes a central 3-light wooden mullioned and transomed window, flanked by narrow transomed lights, all with pointed-arched heads. To the right, there is an entrance with a stepped-up pointed-arched doorcase and a boarded door, topped by a returned label. Above the entrance, there is a recess that once held a cartouche or plaque. To the left of the bay, a tall octagonal corner turret has blind arched slits and an open light at the top, which is now ruined, and features a battered base. Two stringcourses run horizontally across the main face above the bay, leading to a parapet that has a 'ruined finish'. The lodge has additional 2-light windows with returned labels on the sides. There is a lower turret at the northeast corner, connected to the main structure by a short stretch of rubble walling. The rear of the lodge has a central gable and two half-gables behind the parapet, creating a two-valley roof, with a plain end chimney on the gable. A single-storey lean-to projection runs along the rear, featuring another central gable that projects outward, with windows similar to those on the main facade, as well as modern windows and entrances on the sides.
Attached to the southwest of the lodge is a contemporary arch in Tudor style, constructed from rubble and connected by a short section of curved rubble walling. The arch features a central Tudor arch with a label and flanking turrets, although these turrets lack decorative slits. The stringcourses continue as before. There is an adjoining section of rubble wall to the southwest that returns to connect with the perimeter wall of a field. The tops of the arch, turrets, and wall are left in a ruinous state. The site likely includes contemporary cast iron gatepiers with shaped finials and a wide gate, featuring intersecting hooped decoration.
