Description
Boundary Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the late 16th century. It underwent extensive restoration around 1970, which included the addition of a north wing, creating an L-shaped plan. The building is timber framed and plastered, with a pantiled roof. It has two storeys and an attic, featuring a three-cell plan. The windows are mid-20th century small pane casements, and the doorway has been relocated to the modern wing. Inside, there is some good exposed timbering, although much of the studwork has been repositioned. The interior also includes mid-20th century stairs and a fireplace.
