Description
Bodwigiad is a late Georgian style house that stands two storeys high with an attic and features a five-window front. The exterior is finished with scribed roughcast walls and has a renewed slate roof, which includes three stacks that have been rebuilt in white brick. To the left of the center is a gabled two-storey porch, next to which is the earlier house shown on the Tithe map, while to the right is an extension that was completed by 1862. The porch exhibits early 19th-century Gothic details.
The doorway features a four-centred head with a continuous chamfer and a hood mould. The door itself has vertical ribs and iron studs. Above the door is a pointed window with a small-pane sash that incorporates intersecting glazing bars, set on a corbelled sill. The side walls of the porch contain square-headed small-pane windows with arched lights in the lower storey, which are similar to the dormers above. Other windows in the house are 12-pane hornless sashes.
On the left side of the porch, there are two upper-storey windows and a single window on the lower left. To the right of the porch, there are two evenly placed windows, with a half-lit panelled door situated between them. The attic features four gabled roof dormers, each with two-light small-pane windows that have arched heads. At the rear, there is a gabled wing with a lower gabled projection further back. The property has not been inspected.
