Description
Bumper Castle is a house dating from the mid-18th century, constructed from sandstone ashlar with a Welsh slate roof. It features a two-cell central lobby-entry plan and stands two storeys high with two first-floor windows. The exterior is characterized by massive herringbone-tooled quoins. The front has a boarded door, a two-light Yorkshire sash window to the left, and a 16-pane sash window to the right. On the first floor, there is an unglazed window to the left and a boarded pitching window to the right. Herringbone-tooled lintels are present throughout, and the building has a stepped eaves course and a steeply-pitched roof with a ridge stack. Inside, there is a massive stone fireplace that contains a 19th-century cast iron range, along with a wooden heck and an inglenook seat. The original stone flag floor, ceiling beam, and joists remain intact.
