Description

Bosbury House is a former hunting lodge that has been converted into a house. It was built in the late 18th century and significantly altered in 1873 for the Reverend Edward Higgins. The building is designed in the Italianate villa style and constructed of brick with sandstone ashlar dressings, topped with a hipped slate roof. It features a double-pile plan with a central entrance facing west and additional structures to the north.

The house is two storeys tall with cellars, and it has a string course, a cornice with a blocking course, and a balustraded parapet on the main section. There is a similar arrangement on a slightly lower addition that lacks a parapet. The main house has a façade of five bays, with the central five bays set slightly forward. It includes glazing bar sash windows with moulded stone architraves.

Access to the house is via steps leading up to a central Tuscan portico, which has paired columns and an elliptical-headed doorway with a radiating fanlight and a half-glazed door. Inside, the house retains some stuccoed ceiling decoration and features a cupola above a colonnaded room to the left of the hallway, which is now used as a billiard room.
