A nineteenth century lodge, also known as Porth Gwyn, situated off the Porthmadog road. The lodge is a late nineteenth century stone-built lodge, built originally in ornamental Gothic style as part of the Tan-y-Bwlch estate. Picturesquely planned, the lodge consists of a T-plan main section and lower rear wing. Its construction is of rubble masonry with sandstone dressings, steep slate roofs, and projecting eaves with ornamental barge-boards. One and a half storeyed, the higher main section has advanced gables forming a cross-wing at the east, with mullioned windows of 2- and 3-lights; the west wing has canted bay window to the ground floor and 2-light mullioned window above. There is an expressed stack on the south wall with a blank shield, and entrance is the north of this range, abutting the lower service wing.
