Plas Bodewryd

Plas Bodewryd is a large, two-storey gentry house with a complex plan, enlarged and extended over several centuries, resulting in a predominantly 18th-century character. The house is constructed of rubble masonry, with rendered elevations and a modern slate roof featuring rendered axial and gable stacks, now with tiled coping and yellow clay flues. Windows are mainly small-paned hornless sashes with slate sills.

The principal west-facing elevation has a five-window range, with projecting wings to the north (left) and south (right), joined at the corner. The main block extends beyond the advanced 18th-century west wing to the south as a single window range. The entrance is now a modern boarded door, offset slightly to the right of the five-window range, situated within a continuous ground floor lean-to addition. Ground floor windows are paired 12-pane sashes, while first-floor windows are 12-pane sashes set directly under the eaves; an 8-paned sash is located at the far right end. The southern continuation of the main range features a small fire or closet window on the ground floor and a sash window of intermediate height above.

The projecting wings have a planned arrangement of predominantly 12-paned sash windows. The south wall of the northwest wing is a two-window range with windows offset towards the west end; the west gable return has single ground and first-floor windows offset to the north, and the north wall has single ground and first-floor windows offset to the east. The north wall of the southeast wing includes a single ground floor window offset to the west, alongside a first-floor window to its east; another first-floor window, an 8-pane horned sash, is offset to the far left end. The south wall of the southwest wing has a single ground and first-floor window to the west end, and a blocked ground floor opening to the right.

The broad gable at the south end of the main block features three ground and first-floor windows, and a single window in the gable apex. The elevation continues along the south side of the southeast wing, with a 12-pane sash window to the far right on the ground floor, and two circular lights offset to the right end on the first floor.

The east-facing rear elevation is dominated by the southeast wing, with a hipped roof at the far left (south) end, and a five-window range extending north, featuring two gabled projections set to the left. An entrance is provided via a single-storey porch to the left (south) of the elevation, the main doorway likely marking the former main entrance to the house. A single-storey hipped roof addition is positioned to the right (north). The fenestration is a mixture of single and paired sash windows. A modern cambered-headed window is located at the east end of the single-storey wing, and modern lights are present in the two-window block to the far right (north), including a 9-paned ground floor window in a blocked doorway (modern doorway positioned to the left) and single-paned casements under the eaves.

The interior was not inspected during the survey. Historic building records indicate modernisation, and include heavy moulded beams, a 17th-century plaster cornice, partitions, and a staircase featuring square newels and turned balusters.
