Lodge at Main Entrance to Tal-y-coed Court

The lodge at the main entrance to Tal-y-coed Court is a late 19th-century estate building. It is constructed of brick with ashlar dressings and features a hipped slate roof with painted eaves cornice. The tall central stack has recessed panels with round arches, an arch on the south face with a keystone, and a moulded brick cap. The building is two stories high, with window openings that have stone sills and ogee aprons. The ground-floor window heads feature segmental brick arches with cambered stone hoodmoulds and fluted keystones.

The east front is symmetrical, with a central window on the first floor that has a brick skewback lintel, a keystone, and a 4+4 pane casement. The ground floor includes a central entrance doorway with a projecting stone pediment supported by scrolled console brackets, along with a late 19th-century five-panel door. On either side of the entrance are 8-pane sash windows. To the right, there is a two-storey hipped extension that has a 4+4 casement on the first floor and a flat roof addition on the ground floor. This addition features a 20th-century glazed door flanked by 2-pane windows, as well as a segmental arched window with a keystone and an 8+8 pane window.

On the south elevation, the first floor has a 9-pane sash window on the left and a 12-pane sash window on the right. The ground floor includes a 20th-century window and a set of 20th-century glazed double doors. To the left, there is a rendered extension that has a 20th-century window on the first floor, a segmental arch with a keystone below, and a side lean-to. The building was not seen during the time of the resurvey.
