Description

Boharm House is a building dating from 1811, with a rear addition from around 1840. It is two storeys and an attic over a raised basement, featuring three bays. The front is made of tooled granite, with harl pointed granite rubble on the sides and tooled granite dressings that have some painted margins. The central door is accessed by a splayed flight of steps that oversails the raised basement and is accompanied by a simple cast-iron handrail. The door is panelled and has a radial fanlight, with a later re-used bracketted canopy above it. The front has regular fenestration, with unusual off-set raised windows on the ground floor, and three later dormers with swept roofs.

At the rear, there is a two-storey, three-bay wing with 12-pane glazing, wide coped end stacks, and a slate roof. Inside, the drawing and dining rooms open off the raised ground floor stair and entrance hall. The drawing room features beaded panelled doors and window shutters, a panelled dado, and an inserted chimney piece with an added overmantel. The dining room also has beaded panelled doors and window shutters, along with later overdoors.

In front of the house are gatepiers that consist of a pair of re-used later 18th-century rusticated ashlar gate piers, which have corniced stepped caps and ball finials. The steading court includes a group of three single-storey or single-storey and loft rectangular buildings that comprise stables, a gighouse, and the steading. These are all made of harl pointed rubble with tooled rubble dressings and some later openings, featuring graded local slate roofs and stone ridges with re-used ball finials. High coped rubble walls connect the house to the steading court, enclosing the garden.
