Description
The Front Lodge is a single-storey building, which has an added attic storey. It features a main gabled range with wings to the left and at the rear. Designed in a picturesque Tudor Gothic style, it is constructed from coursed, rock-faced Cefn stone with ashlar dressings and has a slate roof, which includes 20th-century skylights at the back. The main range has a single axial stack with a patterned shaft, while the left wing and the cross-gable of the rear wing have external stacks.
The main elevations are distinguished by polygonal angle turrets, a moulded parapet, and coped gables, all topped with spiked finials. The front of the main range includes a shallow porch on the right, made of ashlar, featuring lancet openings in the side walls and a moulded parapet adorned with pointed quatrefoils. The entrance door is four-panelled. To the left, there is a canted bay window, also of ashlar, which has a similar parapet to the porch and a cross window in the centre. The gable above the bay window displays a blank shield.
In the left wing, there is a cross window with a hood mould. The right front mirrors this design, featuring a canted bay window in the gable of the rear range, which has a blind arrow loop above it, along with a cross window to the left. Behind the left wing, there is a wall from a former courtyard, which is now occupied by a flat-roofed extension that includes a later 20th-century lean-to.
