History

Built 1863-64 at the start of the construction of the Estate Boundary Wall (q.v.), being part of the almost continual improvements carried out on the Vaynol Estate.

Exterior

Built of rubble with a slate roof, the gate piers of freestone. Single storey, 'L'-plan. The design is distinctive for the lean-to verandah on the S side, returning around the E corner in front of the main entrance, a detail favoured in this particular building campaign ( q.v. Wern Gogas). Here the columns are of turned limestone. Boarded door and a canted bay window with transomed glazing on the eastern forward gable. Small pane sash windows on the S side, and modern windows to the rear. A central rendered chimney stack, perhaps replacing one with octagonal shafts.

The gatepiers stand immediately SE; square and tall, with necking band and weathered copings.
