Boss House And Front Boundary Railings

Boss House is a corner cottage located on Church Street, dating from the early 19th century. It is constructed from local lias coursed rubble with ham stone quoins and features a double Roman clay tiled roof with a stepped coped south gable and a brick chimney stack. The building is two storeys high with three bays and irregular fenestration. The upper level has small-pane horizontal-sliding sash windows, while the lower level includes horizontal-bar casements with three, four, and three lights under timber lintels. Between the second and third bays, there is a 19th-century part-glazed door set in a recess with a plain timber architrave.

There is a later return along Limington Road, which has a Welsh slate roof and four bays with later 19th-century windows in segmental-arched brick surrounds. The interior has not been seen. Approximately one metre west of the house, there are boundary railings featuring collared spearpoints set on a low stone base, with cast iron finials on the standards and a matching gate opposite the door. These railings enhance the setting of the house and the streetscape. The building was shown on earlier Ordnance Survey maps as the Cow Inn, which had been opened by 1859.
