History

Built c1862 and dated by an alternative design (not built) by J.F. Clark. It stood next to a drive to Baron Hill from Beaumaris Castle and is shown on the 1889 Ordnance Survey.

Exterior

A single-storey Italianate lodge of pebble-dashed walls, moulded freestone plinth, eaves cornice and verges, and slate roof with roughcast stacks. Roughly L-shaped in plan, with walled yard. The S elevation, facing the road, has a gabled bay to the L with tripartite 2-pane sash window in an architrave with consoles and central pediment. Set back on its R side is a porch, which has a narrow window with keyed architrave and corbelled sill. The entrance to the R side has a similar moulded surround with keystone, and inside the porch is a half-glazed panel door. Further R is a replacement window in what was formerly a 2-light window, its architrave having 2 keystones.

The R (E) wall, facing the former drive, has a gable end to the L, then is set back further R and has two 4-pane sash windows in keyed architraves. The L (W) side has a central projecting lateral stack flanked by narrow windows, blocked to the L and 2-pane to the R, in plainer surrounds than the main elevations. The walled yard on the NW side is partly infilled with extensions.

Interior

Not inspected.
