History
Probably dating from the early C19, when many improvements were made to the Plas Coch estate. The grounds around Plas Coch form part of an ancient estate, first recorded as belonging to Bran (c1150-80) and also known as Porthamel Issa. The original house was built in 1569 by David Hughes, with later remodelling and alterations; the lodge is probably contemporary with early C19 alterations to the house and is built in a similar style. Originally one of an unmatched pair, the other being a 2-storey house with crow-stepped gables, near the Brynsiencyn Road in Llanidan community.
Exterior
Single storey lodge, Neo-Tudor style, symmetrically designed with a cross-shaped plan with 4 projecting crow-stepped gables, with ball finials on square shafts with cornices. Walls squared red gritstone with sandstone dressings, plinth with chamfered sandstone coping. Slate roof, central chimney stack. Main doorway to SE has elliptical arch, boarded door with studs and ornate cock's head hinges. Moulded sandstone hood band, with shallow recess over. Mullioned and transomed windows to SW and NE gables of 3-lights with some diamond leading and moulded triangular pediments, slit windows on sides of projections. Small addition in angle to N with hipped slate roof, chimney to N corner and square headed window.
Interior
Reason for designation
Listed as a good example of an early C19 lodge. Part of a programme of work at Plas Coch notable for its use of a Neo-Tudor style and forming a group with Plas Coch, the decorative walling in front of the house, the bridge and adjacent walling and gate piers.
