Description
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 front features a large shallow canted bay that includes a central window with three lights, made of wood with mullions and transoms, flanked by narrow transomed lights, all with pointed-arched heads. To the right, there is an entrance that is stepped up, featuring a pointed-arched doorcase and a boarded door, with a returned label above it. 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 a battered base. The lodge has two stringcourses, one above the other, that run along the main face above the bay, where the parapet has a 'ruined finish'. There are also two-light windows similar to the central window, with returned labels on the sides. A further lower turret is located at the northeast corner, connected to the main block by a short stretch of rubble walling. The rear features a central gable and two half-gables behind the parapet, creating a two-valley roof, with a plain end chimney at the gable. There is a single-storey lean-to projection along the length of the rear, with a further central gable that projects out, featuring windows similar to those at the front, along with modern windows and entrances on the sides.
Attached to the southwest of the lodge is a contemporary arch in Tudor style, linked by a short section of curved rubble walling. This arch is constructed of rubble and features a central Tudor arch with a label and flanking turrets, although these turrets lack decorative slits. The stringcourses are consistent with those on the lodge. There is an adjoining section of rubble wall to the southwest that returns to join the perimeter wall of a field. The tops of the arch, turrets, and wall are left in a ruinous state. Additionally, there are probably contemporary cast iron gatepiers with shaped finials and a wide gate, featuring intersecting, hooped decoration.
