History
Gate lodge built c1901 by William & Segar Owen as part of a series of alterations and improvements carried out at that time on the Plas Newydd estate. The gates and gate walls are of c1840-1 and are contemporary with the primary house erected by Edward Humphrey Griffith to his own designs.
Exterior
One-and-a-half storey gate lodge in simple Tudorbethan style. Of uncoursed, dressed limestone blocks with slate roof; coped and kneelered gable parapets with ball finials. Three-bay symmetrical front with storeyed and gabled central porch. This has a shouldered-arched entrance with boarded and ribbed door; 12-pane casement window above. The outer bays have tripartite windows (8-pane casement sections) with moulded label course. The road-facing (E) gable has paired 12-pane casements (6-pane sections) to the first floor; the W gable has a 16-pane casement to the ground floor and a tripartite window to the first floor (6-pane sections).
Simple wrought iron decorative gates (facing the road) between square gatepiers of tooled limestone ashlar. These have moulded cappings and surmounting ball finials; each stands to a height of approximately 2.2m. Short curved sections of uncoursed, rough-dressed limestone screen wall link the gatepiers to further, similar piers to the L and R; the wall sections are approximately 1.5m high and have small crenellations. To the R of the right-hand pier, a similar section of wall continues to join a further pair of finialed piers; these flank a blind-arched niche with stone watering trough on the roadside in front.
Interior
The interior was not inspected at the time of survey.
Reason for designation
Included for its special interest as a Tudorbethan-style entrance lodge by William & Segar Owen with earlier, mid C19 gates and gatepiers.
Group value with Plas Newydd.
