Description
Bodlondeb is a two-storey building featuring pebbledash elevations, a freestone cill band, and a plinth. The slate roofs have bracket eaves, and the chimney stacks are made of pebbledash and cement render with stone necks. The Georgian section at the front is symmetrical with seven bays, including advanced and splayed three-window end bays that have shaped parapets, architraves, and keystones. It has small pane sash windows, with configurations of 9 and 12 panes.
There is a central ashlar porch, likely added in 1909, which features a parapet and a dentil cornice. It has a deep segmental hooded canopy supported by panelled and tapered piers. The entrance to No 2 has a lugged architrave and contains a tablet with a largely erased inscription, a six-panel door, and sash windows on the sides. The inner doors are half-glazed with architraves and segmental pediments. To the left, there is a panelled door for No 1, also with a lugged architrave.
To the right, there is a four plus two-window Edwardian extension that is set back and features similar details, with the right-hand two bays being advanced. This extension mainly has small pane sash windows and a half-glazed door for No 3, which has a bracket lintel. There is a modern extension at the right end.
The garden front of the Georgian section largely mirrors the main front, with advanced end bays, while the five-window front of the Edwardian part is set back and features small pane sash windows and a six-panel door with a lugged architrave.
On the coastal path, there are remains of a small toll-house, which is not shown on the 1841 Tithe map, unlike the house.
Inside, the building retains a fine Elizabethan dog-leg staircase made of Australian oak, featuring pierced balusters, square newels with finials, and a panelled dado. The large cellars have unusual slate 'boarded' ceilings.
