Description
Bollogas Farmhouse, including the adjoining wash house immediately to the north, is a farmhouse dating from the 17th century, with extensions made in the 18th and 19th centuries. The building features painted granite rubble walls and a scantle slate roof on the front range and the wing behind the left side, while the rear roof, which runs parallel to the front, is covered with asbestos slate. There are chimneys located over the gable ends, with granite chimneys on the original gable ends. The eaves were likely heightened in the 19th century at the front.
The farmhouse has a double depth plan. Originally, it was a two-room house with a lobby and stair or possibly a passage between the rooms, consisting of a hall/kitchen on the left and a parlour on the right. In the 18th century, it was extended with a back kitchen wing at almost right angles behind the hall/kitchen, and possibly later in the 18th century, service rooms (now the kitchen) were added behind the stair and the parlour. A detached wash house was added in the 19th century near the kitchen, which is now linked by a 20th-century structure.
The exterior is two storeys high with a slightly irregular three-window south front and an approximately central doorway. The original doorway contains a 20th-century door within a 20th-century porch/conservatory. The windows are late 19th-century horned sashes set in original small window openings, which are slightly irregularly arranged. There is a 20th-century bay window on the ground floor to the right. Other elevations of the farmhouse remain unspoiled and little altered.
Inside, the plan has likely remained unchanged since the 18th century. The original first-floor structure is supported by chamfered and stopped hardwood beams. There is probably an original fireplace in the left-hand room with a chamfered oak lintel made from reused ship timber, which still shows treenail holes. The interior also features an 18th-century simple T-plan stair and some 18th-century two-panel doors. A high slate-coped rubble garden wall runs at right angles in front of the house. The wash house has rubble walls, a scantle slate roof, and a brick chimney over its right-hand gable end.
