Description

The gates, piers, and railings in front of Bathafarn Chapel and Bathafarn House are set within a low brick boundary wall that features chamfered sandstone coping. The wall steps down from left to right, following the slope of the road. The end piers, gate piers, and the pier at the boundary of the properties are made of dressed sandstone with chamfered angles and brick panels. They have pyramidal capstones with moulded edges, which include incised circles and zig-zag decoration. The piers at the gateway of the house are inscribed with 'Bathafarn House', while those at the chapel are topped with former gas lamps mounted on short barley twist columns.

The chapel has double cast iron gates, and the house features a single gate, both designed with three bands that showcase ogee decoration and scrollwork, along with fleur-de-lis finials. A plaque on the chapel gates reads 'John Williams / Phoenix Works / Rhuddlan'. The railings flanking the house are identical to those on the gates, while the chapel has plain railings adorned with attached scrollwork motifs and fleur-de-lis finials. At the right end, the boundary wall returns to Mount Street as a plain red brick wall with triangular-section terracotta coping.
