Description
The adjacent former wash house is a two-storey building constructed of 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 stack, which is adorned with eight moulded Victorian chimneypots. The wide oversailing eaves are supported by moulded brackets. The entrance front is asymmetrical, with a central entrance that includes a recessed four-panelled Victorian door, which 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 door is an original brass plaque that has been relocated, reading "Bodowen 1831."
To the left of the entrance, there are six-light wooden mullioned and transomed windows on both the ground and first floors. A four-light window is located further left, with a plain four-pane Victorian sash above, all set back. The southwest side features two long cross-windows that extend down to ground level, with sash windows above that match the style. At the rear, there is a single-storey lead-roofed extension from 1878, which has corbelled eaves and a square glazed bay with French windows.
Attached to the northeast is a four-bay service range that is slightly stepped down, also with 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. 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. The southeast and southwest roof pitches of the house each have two modern gabled, plain-glazed dormers, along with a skylight on the front pitch.
The adjoining single-storey wash house, built into the slope of the hill and contemporary with the Regency house, is constructed of rubble and has a hipped slate roof to the northeast. Its entrance is located opposite the service wing, featuring a boarded door. The northwest face has two modern glazed lights situated between the raised ground level and the eaves, along with an additional boarded light on the angled north face.
Inside the northeast room, which serves as a kitchen, there is a wide inglenook fireplace with a stop-chamfered bresummer. The thick walls contain low panelled doorways with six-panelled doors. Additionally, there is a slate-linteled inglenook in the entrance hall, which features geometric polychromed tiles.
