Cadw's description
Location
In an isolated rural location at the end of a single track road c 1.5km W of the village of Llanfachraeth. The servant's quarters lie directly SE of the house at Bodlasan Fawr.
History
C18 with later alterations. Although the building was clearly originally domestic, its precise purpose is unclear: it may have been a secondary dwelling or possibly accommodation of farm servants.
Exterior
Two-storey house with single storey wing to L (N) and single-pitched addition at N end. Built of local rubble masonry; roof of small, old slates, stone copings and gable stacks. The R (S) stack is a tall rectangular stack with capping, the L (N) stack a shorter, squarer stack projecting from the N gable, with capping and raised by brick. The entrance elevation faces the yard and farm buildings to the W, the doorway under a gabled porch to the L (N). There is a ground floor window, a horizontally sliding sash, to the R (S) and a first floor window, with margin panes, set directly under the eaves; a similarly detailed first floor window to the rear. To the L (N) is a single storey gabled wing, probably a boiling house; with external access via a door to the rear. A single pitched addition built against the L (N) end; a single doorway to the front.
Interior
The interior was not inspected at the time of the survey.
Reason for designation
Included as an integral part of the farm complex at Bodlasan Fawr, which retains a strong vernacular character.
