Description
Rhyd-y-Cilgwyn Lodge is a one-and-a-half storey lodge built in the Tudorbethan style, featuring a cruciform plan. The construction is of roughcast rubble with a gabled slate roof, deep eaves, and verges that have moulded bargeboards, expressed purlin ends, and tall geometric wooden finials. A central chimney is adorned with three grouped brick stacks and moulded sandstone capping.
The entrance front, which faces the road, is symmetrical and consists of three bays, with a storeyed and gabled porch projection at the center. The first floor of the porch is supported by octagonal wooden corner posts, while the ground floor features a wooden balustrade with shaped, pierced balusters; this area was formerly open, but the sides are now enclosed and part-glazed. The upper stage of the porch has a rectangular oriel window with a moulded apron and a sloping hipped roof, along with a 2-pane lattice window. Similar oriel windows are found on the upper floors of both gable ends. On the ground floor, narrow vertical 8-pane windows flank the porch projection, with decorative blind lozenges applied to the walls above. The rear wing of the lodge is longer than the porch projection at the front and includes an extruded catslide outshut projection to the left.
On either side of the lodge, there are sections of limestone rubble wall with irregular copings, with the right-hand stretch ending in a square ashlar gatepier. The interior was not inspected during the survey.
