Description
Middle Bodrane is a house, originally dating from the late 16th century, with later alterations in the 19th and 20th centuries. It is constructed of rubble stone, rendered with a patterned finish known locally as "Polperro ripple." The roof is slate, with a gabled end on the left and a hipped end on the right. There are rendered brick stacks on the left and rear, a projecting lateral stone chimney with a brick stack to the rear incorporated into a later outshut, and a projecting lateral stack on the right to another outshut.
The plan has been altered over time, possibly from part of an earlier, larger house reduced to a two-room configuration with a cross passage and store, and extended to the rear with outshuts in the mid-19th century. A further extension was added to the rear in the 20th century. The south-west front is asymmetrical with four windows, arranged across two stories. The windows are predominantly 2 and 3-light, with later 20th-century metal window frames set in earlier openings. The ground-floor entrance, formerly near the centre of the front, is now blocked. To the right, within the outshut, is a fixed 6-pane light with a rendered gabled 20th-century porch. A portion of the former interior side wall is visible within the outshut.
A granite moulded plinth runs along the front, with granite steps leading to a doorway featuring a moulded timber lintel externally, and a chamfered, stop-chamfered spine beams with run-out stops internally. A lean-to has a fireplace on the south-east wall, with a reused chamfered granite lintel and round granite blocks at the base, set upon the plinth. A re-used granite mullion is also present. Adjacent is a clom oven. A small 2-light timber casement window has been re-used at the rear. A loft is accessible from the outside.
Inside the main room to the right of the main range, is a large granite fireplace with roll moulding to the jambs and lintel; a small segmental arch sits at the centre of the lintel, surmounted by a suspended ball finial. A doorcase to the left of the fireplace features a wide moulded frame and tall stepped stops. The roof structure consists of seven bays, with chamfered and pegged principals and collars. Some of the timbers have been reused and replaced, and evidence of threaded purlins is visible on the third principal. The Manor of Bodrane was recorded as being owned by the Hoblyn family in the 15th century.
