Rockside And Including Boscarne

Rockside, now divided into two houses, was originally a 17th-century house that was rebuilt or remodeled in the 18th century and extended in the early 19th century. The building features rubble walls with a stuccoed ground floor and slate-hung upper floors. It has a steep scantle slate roof with a large external breast at the right-hand gable end. The layout includes two front reception rooms on either side of a central passage that leads to a stair turret, with an additional bay added to the left (north) in the early 19th century to create a separate house with a further wing at the rear.

The structure stands three storeys tall, with a west-facing road front that has a symmetrical three-window arrangement for the original 18th-century house on the right and a one-window front for the early 19th-century extension on the left. The central doorway of the original house features an original door with a fanlight above, consisting of six fielded panels and three fielded panels on each side. This is framed by an elegant round-headed wooden doorcase with engaged fluted columns and a double entablature above. The early 19th-century windows are hornless sashes, with 16 panes in the tall ground and first-floor windows, and 12 panes with a high meeting rail in the square second-floor sashes. The ground floor also has early 19th-century internal window shutters.

No 32a, located on the left, has similar but later horned sashes and a doorway positioned near the front on the left-hand gable end (north) wall. The interior of Rockside has not been fully inspected, but the entrance hall features high fielded dado panelling, and the stairwell contains an early 18th-century staircase with heavy turned balusters. It is noted to be one of the oldest houses in Flushing and was once the last house in the southern direction.
