Bosloggas Farmhouse

Farmhouse. Built in the early 18th century and extended in the late 18th century. The walls are of painted slatestone rubble and cob. The roof is steeply hipped, covered in scantle slates, with brick stacks. One stack is over a multi-stage external rubble breast on the left side wall, and another sits over the ridge of the lower-pitched scantle slate roof of the two-room service range to the right. The farmhouse originally comprised two rooms, double-depth, with a central stairwell, and a two-room, double-depth service range attached to the right. It is two storeys high with an attic. The original east front was symmetrical, with three windows, alongside the two windows of the service range front. The central entrance now has a 20th-century flat-roofed window bay in front. The ground floor window openings on the left and right have cambered arches; the left opening’s sill was lowered in the 20th century to accommodate French windows. Otherwise, the windows are 20th-century casements with glazing bars. False, louvered shutters are on the first floor openings 1, 3 and 4. A central hipped roof dormer has a six-pane sash window. Inside, original features include a splat and twist baluster dog-leg stair, a chair rail in the left room, some two-panel doors, and a pegged roof structure.
