History

The building was built by the Brynkir Estate in the early C19 as a lodge at the start of the driveway to old Brynkir Hall.

Exterior

Built in rubble stonework and painted white, with a low pitched hipped slate roof and wide eaves. Central chimney stack. Two storeys, 3 bays, a central boarded door and flanking casement windows with Gothick style intersecting iron glazing bars 4 lights wide, all recessed on the ground floor behind rubble segmental arches. On the first floor a blind central panel, and flanking 12-paned sash windows, all similarly recessed, their heads directly below the eaves. A service outshut along the full length of the rear.

Reasons for Listing

Included as a well-preserved lodge, a good specimen of the Gothick style applied to a park lodge, and fashionable at that period.
