Description

Bovey Cottage is a cottage dating from the late 17th century, with a late 18th or early 19th century extension at the rear. It is constructed from coursed slate-stone rubble and features a gabled roof made of plain tiles and stone slates, with a stone stack on the left end. The cottage has a two-unit plan that extends to an L-shape with a rear right wing. It is one storey high with an attic and has a one-window range. There are timber lintels above a 19th-century plank door with strap hinges located to the right of a 20th-century three-light casement window. A two-light stone-mullioned window is set in a gabled dormer. The right gable end features two 17th-century two-light stone-mullioned windows. The rear wing, which is also one storey high, includes a two-light casement window, a 20th-century plank door, and a lateral stone stack. The interior has not been inspected but is noted to contain cased beams, a 17th or 18th-century plank door leading to the rear, and an open fireplace with a wooden bressummer.
