Description

Boleyn House is a detached house dating back to the 17th century, with alterations made in the 18th and early 19th centuries. The front facade is of roughly cut and squared ham stone ashlar, while the sides and rear are of squared stone. The roof is thatched with coped gables, and there are brick chimney stacks. The house has two storeys and an attic, with four bays. Bays one and two have composite sash windows with 8+16+8 panes in architraves. The upper bay three has a 12-pane sash window to match, and bay four has two 3-light hollow-chamfered mullioned windows on the lower level, the lower one with a label and rectangular leaded glass including some early glass. A Regency-style door is set within an architraved, wood-panelled recess in the lower bay three. The south gable has a starlight window at first floor level and an oval attic window. A 20th-century porch is attached to a lean-to at the rear, and the north gable contains a 2-light mullioned attic window without a label, with some early glass, and below is a single-storey extension with a plain clay tiled roof and a 3-light mullioned window under a label – likely a reused feature. A 2-light mullioned and transomed window is visible to the staircase. The interior has partly been inspected, revealing Regency-style 6-panel doors and an early 18th-century staircase with turned balusters. A suspected bacon-curing chamber is located in the south gable.
