Bodgate Farmhouse

Bodgate Farmhouse is a farmhouse built in 1859 for the Hawke family. It is constructed from local stone rubble with brick dressings and features a slate roof with hipped ends, including hipped ends at the rear. The building has deep eaves supported by paired moulded brackets and brick axial stacks. The layout includes a deep plan with a central through passage, two principal rooms at the front heated by axial stacks, a study and pantry at the rear of the left-hand room, and a dairy and kitchen at the rear of the centre and right-hand rooms. There is a garden at the front and a yard at the rear, which includes a 19th-century porch in the centre of the rear elevation. A cellar extends below the front rooms due to the slope of the ground. The farmhouse is two storeys tall with a cellar and features complete and unaltered front, rear, and side elevations, retaining original sash windows. The symmetrical front has three windows, with a central doorway that contains a 19th-century panelled door in a round-headed opening, flanked by two 16-pane sashes with three above. The interior has not been inspected, but the farmhouse is noted as particularly complete for its mid-19th-century style. In the yard, the remains of a possibly earlier farmhouse include a circa 17th-century double lapped and studded door in a likely later doorframe.
