Description
Plas Bodafon is a sub-medieval house with two storeys and an attic, featuring a five-window range and a single bay wing added to the southern end. It is constructed of rubble masonry, which is painted and rendered. The slate roof has crow-stepped gables topped with ball finials at each end, with the southern finial being an early 20th-century copy. There are three stacks along the roofline; at the southern end, marking the conclusion of the 17th-century house, is a slender rendered rectangular stack. To its left (north) are two tall square ashlar stacks with dripstones and capping, positioned just on either side of the ridge.
The entrance elevation faces west, with the doorway offset to the south beneath a 20th-century Georgian-style portico. The layout is irregular, consisting of three wide bays to the north with the entrance towards the south, and a narrower bay to its right. The southernmost bay is a 1920s addition. Most windows are 4-pane sashes, but there is a 16-pane sash on the first floor to the right of the doorway and a fixed small-pane light in an early doorway, which has a lintel inscribed with the initials and date: IW 1584 IR. At the southern end of the range, there is a slate datestone that reads: DWM - WLWM / 1925.
The rear elevation is rendered and color washed, featuring five bays with varied window styles on the first floor, including two small-pane sashes on the left. The ground floor has a mix of 4-pane sashes and casement windows, along with the remains of a late Victorian verandah, which has timber posts incorporated into a 20th-century conservatory on the right.
The southern gable return has a small light fixed in the gable apex and a single ground floor 4-pane sash with a doorway to the left (west). The northern gable return features a single ground floor 12-pane hornless sash window, a timber mullioned window on the first floor, and a small fixed light in the gable apex.
The oldest part of the house is at the northern end, retaining some chamfered beams and a massive chamfered bresummer. The late 17th-century section of the house still has some beaded boarded ceilings and doors.
