Description
Bodbrane Manor is a farmhouse with a well house situated 5 metres to the northwest. The original farmhouse core dates to the late 17th century and was extended in the early to mid-19th century, undergoing reorientation at that time. The construction incorporates stone rubble, with slate hanging above the ground floor on the southeast (front) elevation. The left-hand gable end is clad in corrugated asbestos, while the double-span slate roof features projecting rendered stone rubble chimney stacks on the double gable ends.
The original late 17th-century section forms the rear range, comprising two rooms and a central passage. The larger right-hand room was likely the hall kitchen, and the left-hand room the parlour, with a stair turret at the rear. An early to mid-19th-century extension, consisting of two rooms and a central stair hall, was added, creating a double-depth plan overall. The symmetrical, three-window, southeast elevation is from the 19th century, featuring two tripartite sash windows on the ground floor, each beneath a segmental arch. A central 6-panel door, with the top four lights glazed, is accompanied by a rendered and glazed lean-to porch of the 20th century. The first floor has three 16-pane sash windows, also from the 19th century. A two-storey lean-to extension of stone rubble is located on the right-hand gable end. The rear, originally the front, elevation was remodelled in the mid-19th century.
The interior of the late 17th-century range includes a mid-18th century dressed stone arch to the northeast kitchen fireplace, a late 19th/early 20th century parlour fireplace with a red brick arch, and an early 18th-century 6-panelled door (with 20th-century hinges) leading to the stair projection. A timber stair rises around a solid stone core within this projection. The mid-19th-century range contains a contemporary closed-string stair with turned newel and square balusters. 19th-century cornices are present, although chimney pieces have been replaced.
The well house, dating to the 19th century, is located northwest of the farmhouse, constructed with stone rubble and a slate roof. It features a reused 17th-century granite lintel above the opening and a circular well shaft. The site is historically significant as the Domesday manor of Bodbran, having belonged to the Arundels of Lanherne, subsequently to Joseph Grigg and Edmund Coode.
