Boomer Farmhouse

Boomer Farmhouse is a small manor house, now divided into two dwellings, one of which is a farmhouse. It dates to 1681, although it was largely rebuilt in the 18th century. The building has an ashlar plinth, roughcast walls, rusticated ashlar quoins, a moulded cornice, a parapet with recessed oblong panels and ashlar end pilasters, moulded coping, and a slate roof with coped verges. It features end stacks with moulded caps. The front façade is symmetrical, with a two-storey design and a central, three-storey, pedimented porch. The windows are 12-pane sashes with exposed sash boxes, except for a 6-pane sash window on the second floor of the porch. A rusticated semi-circular head outer door opening leads to the porch, which has a benched interior and a 6-panelled inner door with the top two panels glazed, set within an eaved architrave. The interior is richly fitted and includes fine carved chimney pieces, ornamental plasterwork including cornices, a surviving 17th-century plaster frieze on the first floor at the rear, a panelled room on the first floor to the right, a good staircase, and other noteworthy details.
