Bod Talog

Bod Talog is a charming small country house dating from the 19th century. It has two storeys and an attic, constructed of coursed stone that is painted white, topped with a slate roof featuring barge boards. The house is adorned with three roughcast ridge stacks and a projecting stack at the rear. The main structure includes a projecting bay and a porch to the left of the center, a gabled wing further to the left, and a short rear wing.

The windows have been replaced with small-pane steel-framed glazing. The timber half-glazed porch features panels below the small-pane glazing and upper lights with X-shaped glazing bars, along with double half-glazed doors that have a pointed head. Above the porch, there is a balcony with a cast-iron balustrade made of open cusped arches, accessed by a pointed glazed door. To the right, there are narrow windows on each storey, followed by a full-height canted bay window with a hipped roof. The left wing has solar panels and a two-light hipped roof dormer on its side wall. Its gable end includes a canted bay window on the lower storey and a pointed window above.

In the right gable end of the main range, French doors have been inserted in the lower right corner. The upper storey features a two-light window on the right and a two-light ovolo-mullioned window on the left, likely a detail salvaged from an earlier house. The attic contains a pointed four-pane sash window. The rear elevation has a window on each storey, with the upper-storey window extending above the eaves. The rear wing has a higher eaves line but a lower ridge than the main range, with windows in its left side wall and gable end. Its right side wall features an external lateral stack, probably from the earlier house, with the upper portion roughcast.

Further to the right, the main range has two eight-pane horned sash windows on each storey, set under gables in the upper storey. There is a lean-to against the gable end of the main range that has a similar upper window, with another lean-to below it featuring a panel door and a louvred pantry vent to its right. The side wall of this lean-to faces a steep bank and includes blocked, small-pane, and four-pane sash windows. The property has not been inspected.
