2 unit 'A' type regional house. Large slate rubble, gabled 1/2 dormers; P and P partition.
[Additional:]
A classic storeyed Snowdonian house of two-unit plan with opposed doorways, end chimneys, and fireplace stair. The house is built of roughly coursed slate ruble with a roughly semicircular head of voussoirs over the cross-passage doorways. The window openings appear unaltered. Internally the timberwork is of high quality with moulded joists and and a moulded twi-doorway post-and-panel partition to the twin outer rooms. The two chambers on the first floor are lit by half formers. The principal chamber has a central open collar-beam truss with plain raking struts. Surveyed by RCAHMW in 1969. Illustrated in Houses of the Welsh Countryside (19 ), fig. .
Tree-ring dating of Bodloesgod was commissioned in 2011 by the North-west Wales Dendrochronology Project in partnership with RCAHMW. The Oxford Dendrochronology Laboratory reports:
Seven timbers from the roof and ground floor ceiling beams matched each other and produced a site master chronology covering the years 1368?1560. One timber retained complete sapwood, having been felled in spring 1561. The other timbers with the heartwood-sapwood boundary present have likely felling date ranges incorporating this date, and it seems likely therefore that construction took place in 1561, or within a year or two after this date.
