Cadw's description
Location
Situated E side of former drive now road running N from Boduan Hall, some 600m NW of the house.
History
Former Plas Boduan lodge, probably mid to later C19, although an earlier lodge is marked on the 2" OS map of 1816-19. Said to have been the gamekeeper's house.
Exterior
L-plan single-storey picturesque cottage. Granite rubble-stone walls, partly whitewashed. Slate roofs with half-hipped gables to N and to W end of S crosswing. Overhanging eaves and central rendered chimney. W front has projecting crosswing to right with one 3-light window and hoodmould to end wall and door in N return. Main range has cat-slide roof over 3-bay rustic veranda with tree-trunk uprights and rough 4-centred arcading. Similar window within and another to N end wall. All windows are mullion-and-transom with latticed glazing and flat hoodmoulds. Rear C20 extension.
Reason for designation
Included as a good example of a picturesque Victorian estate cottage.
