Description
Boskenna is an early 19th century house with garden walls to the front (west). The walls are stucco over rubble with granite sills and have an asbestos slate roof with projecting eaves and rendered brick chimneys. The house is arranged in an L-shape, with a larger room to the left, likely originally a kitchen or living room, and a parlour to the right. A cross passage connects the two rooms, leading to a stair hall and a service room in a wing set at right angles behind the parlour.
The west front is nearly symmetrical, with two windows, plus one extra window to the left of the doorway. The doorway itself is off-centre and features a 20th century panelled door with an integral fanlight and a pedimented doorcase. The windows, including the extra window to the left, are original hornless sash windows, each with a decorative border of marginal panes, featuring diagonal corner bars and eight panes in the central section. The interior has not been inspected.
High garden walls extend from a doorway at right angles to either side of the house, returning at the front and linked to a low granite-coped front wall with round-headed granite monolith piers marking the central gateway. Boskenna shares a similar design to Mudgeon Cottage, with the addition of an extra ground-floor window and marginal panes to the sash windows.
