Description
29 Mile Street is a cottage built in 1731, located in the village of Bozeat, approximately 6 miles south of Wellingborough in Northamptonshire. The cottage features regular coursed limestone walls and a thatched roof, and it has two storeys with a two-bay rectangular plan.
The front of the building has a two-window range, with leaded casement windows under wooden lintels on the left and two 19th-century sash windows with yellow brick dressings on the right. There is a central panelled door with a glazed toplight under a wooden lintel. The left gable has an ashlar gable parapet with a kneeler, and there are two brick chimney stacks on the ridge. A datestone above the door is inscribed with "MS 1731." The left gable also features a leaded casement window at ground floor level. The interior has not been inspected.
Historically, Bozeat is believed to date back to Saxon times, with evidence of an ancient burial ground and various artefacts discovered in the area. The Great Fire of Bozeat in 1729 destroyed much of the village, and No. 29 Mile Street was built shortly after as a replacement for a burnt-out structure. Although the datestone indicates a construction date of 1731, the cottage has undergone various alterations, particularly to its windows and chimney stacks. Originally listed in 1972 as No. 31, it is now recognized as No. 29 Mile Street.
