The lodge is built of uncoursed limestone rubble, with squared dressings and slate roofs. Twin drum towers rise to a deep crenellated parapet in the manner of the Edwardian castles of North Wales. Between the towers, the outer gate has a 4-centred chamfered arch, and above, the family arms on a shield.
The lodge is grade II*-listed as “a conspicous landmark; an exemplar of the fashion for castellated structures of the time, and with important group value with the castle and other structures on the Gwrych Estate (Cadw Building ID: 233 http://www.britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/wa-233-king-s-lodge-also-known-as-abergele-lodge-a#.VTtwK2d0x_s British Listed Buildings).
