Description
Bolebroke Castle dates to the 16th century and is constructed of red brick in English bond. The east front is characterized by four small gables, each of three storeys, and a larger four-storey gable at the north end. The north gable has kneelers and an octagonal buttress rising from the ground, culminating in a round finial. A diamond or lozenge-shaped finial sits above its apex. The return of this gable on the north side is similar, although a modern bay window has been built out. The east front features windows with stone surrounds, stone mullions, and transoms in five of them. The south front mirrors the east, with a similar gable topped with a ball finial above the apex; kneelers are present but finials are absent. Windows are similarly treated, with stone surrounds, stone mullions, and transoms to five. A late 17th-century L-shaped west wing is built of red brick with grey headers, with modern additions to the north and south. The interior has been modernized, but in a room facing west, assumed to be the original kitchen, a large fireplace with a depressed stone arch remains.
