Description
Boseley Court is a farmhouse built around 1700, featuring painted brick in an irregular bond for the main part and Flemish bond in the left extension, topped with a tiled roof. The main house is seven windows wide and two rooms deep under a single roof, with two storeys plus attics. The entrance door is located under the fifth window from the right and consists of nine flush panels set beneath a cambered brick-on-end arch. The windows are four-pane wide sash, with the third window from the right being blind on both floors, and the first floor only for the first window. There is a vertical joint and square brick pilaster between the sixth and seventh windows, with the last bay being wide and having another pilaster at the corner. A plain string course runs at first floor level, and the eaves are boarded. The roof features three hipped dormers with two-light casement windows. The roof is gabled on the right side and hipped on the left, with a large chimney at the ridge behind the sixth window.
To the right, there is a lower two-storey brick wing with a stone plinth and a porch in the corner. This wing has a 20th-century window on the ground floor and retains an original two-light casement window on the first floor, complete with bars and shutters, and stone steps leading up to the door in the gable. Behind the main structure is a four-bay single-storey wing at right angles, which contains a cider mill.
Inside, there is a narrow open-well main staircase with a heavy moulded handrail and part spiral balusters. At the foot of the stairs are two three-panel doors with semi-circular heads and dummy keystones, along with panelled reveals. On the first floor, there are three original doors featuring alternating thick and thin boards. The dairy retains two slate troughs and an original boarded door. A cast-iron fireback dated 1699 is located in the rear room on the right. A photograph from around 1904 shows two-light mullion and transom windows painted in blocked openings, along with a stone slate roof, while other windows by that time had been replaced with sash windows.
