Bodfan Farmhouse

Bodfan Farmhouse is a building of mixed dates, with the west range dating to the 17th century and the main house incorporating elements from the 18th and 19th centuries. The west range is constructed of roughly coursed rubble stone with buttered pointing, and has a slate roof with integral end stacks. The stacks include slate drips and shafts of 17th-century red brick. The west elevation has a blocked window lighting a cellar, accessed by a doorway in the north gable end. A planked door is offset to the right of the window, along with a fixed multi-paned window and a small staircase window in the southwest corner. An external flight of 19th-century stone steps leads to a 19th-century raking eaves dormer containing two plank doors. The east elevation, within an internal courtyard, retains an original two-light wooden mullion window. A lower rubble stone and slate-roofed hen house attached to the south gable end features twin nine-paned windows with slate lintels in the ground floor of the gable end.

The main house is also of roughly coursed rubble stone, rendered to the south and east sides, and has a slate roof. The north range presents a symmetrical three-bay elevation to the east, with end stacks, the left being at the junction with the south range. The windows are 16-paned sashes with slate cills, and there is a central half-glazed door with raised and fielded lower panels and a rectangular overlight. The west side has sash windows on each floor overlooking the internal courtyard, and a gabled chimney/staircase projection to the north. The south range has a symmetrical south elevation with two late 20th-century windows on each floor, and a cellar below. It also has integral end stacks.

The interior of the earlier, unoccupied west range contains stop-chamfered ceiling beams and a large fireplace to the south end. Adjacent to the fireplace are the remains of a winder staircase and a bread oven, along with coppers built into the fireplace itself. The floor is slate. It is reported that the north range retains an elaborate late 17th or early 18th-century pilastered fireplace surround and overmantel, apparently reused. This includes bolection moulding, two enriched entablatures, and a darkened oil painting on a raised timber panel depicting an unidentified rural scene. A dog-leg staircase is located in the central hallway of the north range. Cellars are located beneath both the 17th-century west range and the south range. Group value is present in the details and historical context of this building.
