Description
Brynffrwd Entrance and Lodge is a small one and a half storey gatehouse built in the Gothic Revival style, located to the right of the entrance. It is constructed from coursed dressed stone, with the rear rendered, and features a Welsh slate roof with ashlar coping, dogtooth finials, ridge, and kneelers, along with a chimney at the rear. The building has a rectangular plan with opposing cross gables, the gable on the right being higher and deeper. The windows are pointed, slightly ogee-shaped lancets with diamond quarries and opening lights, arranged in pairs on the sides, and are topped with hood moulds; the gables contain quatrefoils. The left cross gable serves as the front entrance, which features a square-headed hood mould with heavy foliage stops, an ogee-arched doorway, and a diagonally boarded door, along with a datestone in the gable.
The entrance includes gatepiers, gates, a drive bridge, and a decorative boundary bridge. The tall gatepiers are made of deeply channelled ashlar and topped with cross-gabled capstones. The decorative wooden gates, which have iron panels, are designed to match the height of the gatepiers, and there is a small wicket gate to the right of the lodge. The drive bridge is constructed of coursed stone and features a double arch over the stream, with a low parapet that has ashlar saddleback coping on either side, curving towards the roadside and ending in piers with capstones near the main gates. The boundary bridge across the stream consists of a wall with two segmental arches and a central pier, only one course wide, finished with rough stone coping.
