Description

Plas Boduan is a country house featuring painted stucco with slate roofs and paired roughcast end wall stacks on the main front. The south front is two storeys with an attic and has a seven-window range, with the centre bay projecting. The left end bay is wider, suggesting it was enlarged to the west. A limestone moulded cornice runs around the flat-roofed centre bay, which is adorned with ball finials at the corners. The gable copings are also made of limestone. The windows are 12-pane hornless sashes, longer on the ground floor, and there is a central door with six fielded panels topped by a 20th-century moulded stucco cornice on brackets. On either side of a small centre gable, there are three gabled eaves dormers, each featuring 6-pane hornless sashes. Above the first-floor centre window is a sundial by Frederick George Wyn, dated 1898. The house has five ornate cast rainwater hoppers, initialled FGW, with dates of 1808, 1892, and 1906, along with a sixth hopper initialled RS, dated 1980. The east end wall has two windows on each floor, also with 12-pane hornless sashes.

The long northeast rear wing was altered in the later 20th century and features a west-facing seven-window range of 12-pane sashes above a seven-bay loggia supported by Roman Doric columns and a thin cornice. Inside, there are four inner sash windows, a 20th-century glazed lobby at the right end, a six-panel door to the left of centre, and glazed doors in the left end wall. The east side has a six-window range with similar sashes and a six-window wing extending east from the north end, also in a similar style and hipped to the east. This area is the rear of the south range of a former stables courtyard, with the north side built of rubble stone on the ground floor and stucco above. It has been altered for domestic use, featuring 20th-century doors and windows in the elliptical-arched former coach openings. The west range extends north from the northeast wing of the house, built of rubble stone and two storeys tall, with a large central through-archway and narrow windows to the west and sashes to the east. There is also a later 19th-century gabled chapel and servants' quarters to the west of the stables courtyard.

While not available for inspection, the building was described in a 1964 RCAHM volume as having 18th-century panelling and stairs.
