Gatehouse at Llanarth Court

The gatehouse at Llanarth Court serves as both a gateway and lodge. It features polychrome stonework, with bands of coursed brown stone between broader bands of crazed grey and pink rubble stone. The ornate banded slate roofs include fishscale slate courses. Designed in a Gothic style, the gatehouse is located to the left of a low plain lodge wing.

The gatehouse has a tall French pavilion roof that is square and bell-cast in profile, adorned with carved stone animal corbels at the corners. It is topped with Gothic floral cast-iron cresting and has a thin painted timber lancet dormer that is steeply gabled at the front. On the first floor, there is a three-light window with a hoodmould and a broad moulded sill that extends outward on each side to carved stops. The ground floor features a broad segmental-pointed through-arch with a hoodmould and carved head stops, stone voussoirs above, and wooden gates with pierced upper panels of floral ironwork. Cruciform arrow slots flank the gateway.

To the left of the gateway, a large two-step buttress, which is continuous with the main front, screens a small lean-to that has a segmental pointed door and fishscale slates. A banded stone low wall continues to the left, while a slight buttress is located to the right of the gateway. Inside the gateway, there is a stone slab and cobbled roadway, with a segmental pointed doorway to the left.

The single-storey lodge, set back to the right, has a stone square chimney on the ridge and two windows—one three-light and one two-light—each with a hoodmould. A stepped buttress is positioned to the right.

At the rear, the gatehouse mirrors the front but features heraldic stops to the hoodmould and cusped lancet windows on each side. The lodge has a rear wing with a coped gable, an iron finial, and a stone shallow bay window supported by carved stone floral and animal corbels, topped with a sloping ashlar roof. In the gable, there is a quatrefoil plaque in a pointed recess that is dated 1863. The north side has a single-light window, while the east side of the main range has one two-light window.

The interior has been modernised for use as offices for Llanarth Court.
