Boscobel Boscobel Barn

Two houses were built in the mid to late 16th century, with the barn section potentially slightly later, and converted into a house in the 1930s. The building is timber-framed with whitewashed brick infill to the front, weathered cladding on the sides of the barn, and the rear of the original house rebuilt in brick. It has old tile roofs and rebuilt brick chimneys to the right and off-centre at the front. The building forms an L-shape, with the former barn projecting to the rear. There are two storeys and five bays: three 16th-century bays to the right, the gable end of the barn to the left, and a 17th-century link bay between. Windows are largely irregular casements, mostly leaded and 20th century. The third and fourth bays have three-light oriel windows on single shaped brackets to the first floor; the right one is original, the left is a copy. A 20th-century oriel window is located on the ground floor of the left bay. A 19th-century three-light barred wooden casement with crown glazing is on the ground floor between the right bays. A 20th-century door with a lean-to hood is in the left bay, a small board door is in the second bay, and a wide 20th-century half-glazed door with a flat wooden cornice hood is to the right of centre. Two panels are attached to posts flanking the centre bay; each panel holds a 17th-century carved wooden figure – on the left, an architect with dividers, and on the right, a figure that is difficult to identify. A wrought iron sign bracket is located to the right. Inside the original 16th-century house, there are arched wind-braces, heavy longitudinal floor joists in the left bay, stop-chamfered joists in the centre bay, and chamfered transverse beams with bar stops. The right bay may originally have been open to the roof.
