Description

Bogra House is a country house built around 1920, originally designed as a fishing lodge for the Nielson family. It features an asymmetrical plan and is two stories high, with a stable and garage court located at the rear. The exterior is constructed of coursed rubble, accented with contrasting smooth polished granite dressings.

The south elevation has a three-bay symmetrical entrance front, highlighted by a full-height projecting square center bay that includes a pedimented doorpiece at ground level. This doorpiece features a double-leaf studded timber door with prominent hinges. Above the door, there is a margined window with a pointed arch pediment, and a parapet caps the projecting bay. Flanking the porch are canted windows with four lights, and above them is a single light window. All windows are margined, sash and case style, with the upper part consisting of six panes and the lower part a single pane.

On the west flank, there is a full-height projecting round tower topped with a corbelled parapet. The east flank showcases two canted projecting windows. A granite band course runs along the eaves, and the house is topped with piended and swept slate roofs, featuring tall polished wallhead stacks.

Adjoining to the north is an L-plan garage court designed in a similar style and using the same materials. The garage range to the east has cantilevered piend roofs, while the two-story northern range includes a projecting center bay with an oculus and a corbelled dovecot at the gablehead, all covered with slate roofs.
