Bolton Muir

Bolton Muir is a single storey and attic country house designed by Philip Dalton Hepworth in 1930, showcasing an English vernacular style. The building has a curved irregular plan, with an entrance court and garage located at the northeast. It features white painted brick and elm weather-boarding, timber mullions, and lead-paned glazing in its casement windows. The roof is covered with Norfolk reed thatch and is complemented by two large stone chimney stacks.

The north elevation is concave, highlighted by a semi-circular tower that breaks the eaves off-centre to the left. It has a deeply chamfered depressed arched doorway with a rough stone surround, flanked by small windows. Above, there is a long row of lights beneath a conical thatched roof. The elevation also includes three-light eyelid dormers in the flanking bays, situated above a variety of window styles.

The south elevation is convex, featuring a semi-circular tower off-centre to the right, which contains mullioned and transomed windows at ground level, along with a row of lights under the eaves above. The eaves of the flanking bays extend over attic windows. To the left, there are three bays with large semi-circular windows at ground level and a small tripartite window above, with similarly detailed openings in the west gabled return elevation. The right side of the tower has two bays with mullioned windows, including bipartite, tripartite, and four-light windows.

At the west end, single storey bays lead to a circular garden room. The entrance court and garage consist of a low, single storey lodge with a piended roof, attached to the house. It features eyelid dormers on the north and east sides, two timber panelled garage doors on the north, and a porch on the east. The entrance court is framed by a pair of splayed painted brick walls with thatched coping and drum piers topped with conical thatched caps, providing pedestrian gateways on each side.

The terrace walls include a convex flight of stone steps flanked by square and snecked stone terrace walls on the south elevation, leading to a flagstoned terrace.
