Description
Bogburn Hall is a farmhouse dating from 1663. It is built of brick on a stone plinth, with stone quoins and a scored render facade and left return wall. The roof is made of stone slate, felted at the rear, and features a chimney on the ridge. The building has a two-bay baffle-entry plan, with an outshut to the first bay and a gabled two-and-a-half storey extension at the rear of the second bay.
The farmhouse stands two storeys high and has a central two-storey gabled porch. This porch has a chamfered and slightly arched opening with stone jambs and lintel, stone side benches, and an inner studded plank door in a wooden case with a cyma-stopped chamfer. Above the entrance is a recessed square datestone inscribed with "H R.A 1663," and at the first floor, there is a 2-light sliding sash window. The four front windows have been altered, with early 20th-century bays at the ground floor. The right return wall features a square datestone at attic level in a chamfered stone frame, also inscribed in relief.
The rear wall has various windows, including a segmental-headed stairlight inscribed with "I:·: 1663" to the first bay, a ground floor 2-light sliding sash, and a fixed attic window with glazing bars. Inside, many original features remain, such as a diamond-pattern stone flagged floor, quarter-round moulded beams, an inglenook fireplace with a stone heck and a very large bressummer, a staircase with some splat balusters, internal timber framing, batten and board doors with stop-chamfered cases, and a smoke hood in the attic measuring about four metres square. The building has four roof trusses with raking struts and collars, with both sets of principals surviving: one for the original steeper roof, which includes housings for purlins, and one that replaces it.
Historically, Bogburn Hall was the home of the Haydock family and was used for Quaker meetings in the late 17th century.
