Description
Bosun, formerly known as Elm Cottage or The Elms, is a building that dates from the 18th century at the front, while the back, which is of a lower elevation, is likely older. The structure has three storeys and features three windows. The front is constructed of red brick with alternating grey headers, although it has been painted. The back includes casement windows and has a tiled roof. The front boasts a half-hipped slate roof, sash windows with intact glazing bars, and a doorway that has a flat hood but has been converted into a window.
