Description

Boggle House, formerly known as Fyling Holme, is a house built between 1898 and 1899 for Fred Byles, a newspaper proprietor from Bradford, and his wife Ada. The building is constructed of engineering brick in stretcher bond, representing an early example of cavity walling, and features terracotta dressings. It has a plain clay tile roof, terracotta copings, and brick chimneys. The house is designed in a simplified Tudor style, possibly influenced by architects Shaw and Webb.

The entrance front is two storeys with an attic and consists of two bays. On the left side, there is a boarded door set in a chamfered surround, topped with a heavy lobed lintel in the style of the 17th century. Above the door is a raised central lintel panel dated 1899, adorned with plant decoration. To the right, there are two 2-light mullioned windows on each floor, which are chamfered and moulded with joggled lintels and sloping cills. The front features a gable with a similar 3-light attic window.

To the left, there is a small one-storey laundry extension that includes a boarded door, a small window, and a chimney at the left end. The south front facing the road also has two bays; the left bay is gabled while the right bay is narrower and set back. The left bay features a large 5-light window on the ground floor, two 2-light windows on the first floor, and a 2-light attic window, all similar to those on the entrance front. There is a projecting curved buttress to the right of this section, and doors on each floor in the inner return, although the balcony for the upper door was missing at the time of the survey. The right bay has similar windows and a prominent chimney with a double cornice on the roof slope. The gable copings are ridged, and similar windows can be found at the rear of the house.

Inside, Boggle House boasts high-quality woodwork, including pitch-pine floors and ceilings with heavy beams, well-crafted doors and fitted cupboards, and a staircase with turned balusters. The roof features complete internal boarding.
