Description
Boothby Hall is a small country house built around 1630 for Thomas Harrington, although it was largely rebuilt around 1824 for J. Litchford by Lewis Vulliamy. The structure is made of squared limestone rubble with ashlar quoins and dressings, topped with stone coped slate roofs featuring ball and cross finials and moulded ashlar stacks. The house has parallel ranges, with the rear range being the earlier section.
It is two storeys high with a garret and has a five-bay front arranged in a 2:1:2 pattern. The outer bays are gabled, while the inner bay is recessed and features a parapet, plinth, and moulded cornice. The central entrance consists of double six-panelled doors flanked by single narrow lights and is covered by an open gabled stone porch with a four-centred arched opening. This porch has plain pilasters with panelled upper sections and is flanked by pairs of tall glazing bar sashes.
On the first floor, a central glazing bar sash is flanked by pairs of similar windows, all of which are united by moulded hoods. The garret features two smaller glazing bar sashes. To the right, there is a lower two-storey single bay wing with a glazing bar sash on the first floor, and all single sashes have moulded hoods. The right-hand rear gable includes a 17th-century three-light mullioned window on the first floor and a two-light mullioned window in the garret, both with chamfered mullions and hood moulds.
At the rear, some of the 17th-century stonework is visible in the seven-bay, two-storey elevation with attics, which has 19th-century two-light mullioned windows with glazing bars on both floors and seven gabled dormers in the roof. This house replaced an earlier Norman manor house, which still exists in the grounds.
