2. This neo-Gothic structure was constructed in c.1849 by Charles Rigby the contractor for the Holyhead Breakwater (NPRN 41258), for his own residence. The site consists of two L-plan structures. The southern elevation, constituting the main house, is constructed of stuccoed brick. The entrance is a five-bay south-east facing elevation, crowned with castellations and castellated turrets all carried on stepped corbelling, with octagonal towers at the corners and two entrance porches, between which is a modern glazed veranda. The structure was expanded in the early twentieth century with a substantial two-storey addition added to the west of the house after 1970. The other L-plan structure is constituted of the outbuildings. It also has castellations and turrets and is constructed of exposed local rubble with slate roofs. The site is surrounded by gardens and a castellated screen wall constructed of rubble stone. One of the towers of this screen wall was converted into a pill box during the Second World War.

The house became a hotel in the mid-twentieth century but fell into disuse around the turn of the twenty-first century and was subsequently heavily damaged by fire in 2011. Despite this some original internal feature and even fittings survive, particularly in the eastern half of the house.
