Description

Boyne Hill Farmhouse is likely from the 16th century, with significant development in the mid-17th century and additions in the early 19th century, along with a mid-20th century alteration. The ground floor is built of well-coursed gritstone, the first floor of brick, concealing a timber-frame in one bay. Hammer-dressed stone is used for the additions, all covered by a stone slate roof. The farmhouse has a T-shaped layout, comprising three bays. It stands two stories high and has quoins.

An addition to the left of the original two-cell house features a window with projecting sills on each floor and a doorway with monolithic jambs. A wing projects forward where it meets the original two-cell section, displaying a rendered gable and an external stack. Another wing has a tall stair window to the left of a doorway with monolithic jambs. The original part of the house, set back from the lane, has a double-chamfered mullioned window with three lights on both floors. There are three ridge stacks.

The rear of the house shows that the original two cells each have a 20th-century canted bay window, with a sash window above.

The interior is mainly from the 19th century. Remnants of the original house survive, including posts with jowelled heads and large tie beams, which have been plastered over. A dog-leg staircase features slender turned newels and stick balusters. Architraved doorways are present, along with six-panel doors.
