Description

Bodowen is a two-storey house built from rendered rubble, featuring a square plan and a contemporary service wing to the northeast. It has a pyramidal slate roof with a rectangular central rendered chimney stack topped with eight moulded Victorian chimneypots. The wide oversailing eaves are supported by moulded brackets. The entrance front, which is asymmetrical, has a central entrance with a recessed four-panelled Victorian door that has a glazed upper section. Above the door is a carved stone heraldic plaque displaying the date 1878 and the Edmond arms. To the left of the entrance is an original brass plaque that reads "Bodowen 1831." The ground and first floors to the left of the entrance feature six-light wooden mullioned and transomed windows, while there is a four-light window to the left with a plain four-pane Victorian sash above, all recessed.

On the southwest side, there are two long cross-windows that extend down to ground level, with sash windows above that match the previous style. At the rear, there is a single-storey lead-roofed extension from 1878 with corbelled eaves and a square glazed bay that includes French windows. Attached to the northeast is a four-bay service range that is slightly stepped down and has a slate roof. This service range is built into the slope of the hill, with the two bays on the left being only one storey high, and there is external stepped access to the side leading up to the former service court.

Along the front and side of the main house, there is a glazed-roofed verandah from 1878, supported by cast iron columns with acanthus capitals and decorative pierced brackets, featuring a geometric tiled floor. Both the southeast and southwest roof pitches of the house have two modern gabled, plain-glazed dormers, and there is a skylight on the front pitch.

Adjacent to the external service steps and built into the slope of the hill is a single-storey wash house made of rubble, which is contemporary with the Regency house. It has a hipped slate roof to the northeast and an entrance opposite the service wing with a boarded door. The northwest face has two modern glazed lights positioned between the raised ground level and the eaves, along with a further boarded light on the angled north face.

Inside, the northeast room, which serves as the kitchen, features a wide inglenook fireplace with a stop-chamfered bresummer. The thick walls include low panelled doorways with six-panelled doors. There is also a slate-linteled inglenook in the entrance hall, which is adorned with geometric polychromed tiles.
