History

Tan yr Allt was built by William Madocks in the first decade of the C19. The lodge is contemporary and was probably designed by Madocks himself. It is shown on the 1842 Tithe map.

The asymmetrical gabled front has outshuts set slightly back on each side under a continuous roof line. The entrance is on the L side and has a replacement glazed door. In the centre is a 3-light wood-framed mullioned and transomed window incorporating casements, and beneath an unmoulded slate hood. The upper storey has a 3-light window and similar hood. On the R side is a 2-light window with Gothic arched glazing bars. In the R side wall is a 3-light casement window.
