Boyce House

Boyce House is a house dating from the mid-18th century, with early 19th-century alterations. It has two storeys and attics, featuring five windows. The walls are stuccoed and topped with a parapet, and there are corner pilasters at either end. The roof is plaintiled, with flat-roofed dormers that have sash windows, and there are gable chimneys made of red brick. The sash windows have been renewed with large panes from the 19th century. The entrance doorway, which is a fine example from the mid-18th century, has a door with six fielded panels and a semi-circular fanlight with intersecting curved glazing bars, supported by pilasters and topped with a broken pediment. Above the entrance, there is a simple Venetian window over the staircase, with the sashes also replaced with large panes from the 19th century. Inside, there is a complete 18th-century staircase with balustrading in the Chinese Chippendale style leading to the first floor, and heavier framing with turned balusters leading to the second floor.
