The sunken garden N of the house was created in 1888 and was subsequently enlarged, taking its present form by 1899.
Talygarn was purchased by G T Clark, the prominent industrialist and antiquary, in 1865. The present house retains the core of an earlier house and was built mainly 1879-82 with further important additions in 1892-4 and the early C20. The gardens and park were laid out from 1877 with formal gardens to the S, W and N of the house, and with informal woodland grounds centred on a lake to the S of the house.
The open stone balustrade is aligned roughly E-W parallel with the house and marking the boundary of the forecourt in front of the house. It has shaped balusters, wide intermediate piers, and flat copings. Steps are at the E and W ends. In the centre is a semi-circular recess with a continuous bench.
