Boothbank Farmhouse

Boothbank Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from around 1670. It is built of plum-coloured English garden wall bond brick with a stone slate and slate roof, though it was originally thatched and features stone dressings. The building has two storeys, a basement, and an attic, following a baffle-entry plan.

The entrance front has three bays, with a 19th-century two-storey gabled porch to the left of centre. This porch features an arched lintel and a 19th-century doorway that is set within an original 17th-century ovolo moulded door surround, above which is a two-light window with a relieving arch. The stone gable cappings and kneelers add to the structure's character. There are three-light splayed-head windows on either side of the porch, with ovolo moulded mullions, and two similar 19th-century casement windows on the first floor. A band of two bricks in depth separates the floors.

To the left, there is a 19th-century lean-to wing. The right-hand gable end features two bands of two bricks in depth between the ground and first floor, and between the first floor and attic. A bricked-up window on the first floor has a cambered arch, while the attic has a three-light casement window with ovolo moulded mullions and a cambered relieving arch above, with 20th-century bricks in the tympanum. The gable and band have stone dressings with angled ends.

At the rear, there is a wing with stone dressings to the gable end and 19th and 20th-century window insertions, along with 19th-century outshuts to the rear and sides.

Inside, the ground floor features stone flag floors and a large cambered bressummer above the parlour fireplace. The parlour and other 17th-century ground floor rooms have ovolo moulded ceiling beams, while the first floor rooms have chamfered beams. Original plank doors are found throughout the house, and there is a four-flight closed string dogleg staircase.
