Description

Plas Bostock is a building featuring a front elevation of red brick with sandstone quoins and a slate hipped roof. It has a central pedimented stone porch from the late 18th century or early 19th century, which includes a moulded segmented door surround with a central keystone motif and a fanlight with gothick fan tracery. On either side of the porch, there is a 12-pane sash window with stone voussoirs and keystones. The first floor has three horned 4-pane sash windows, all with stone voussoirs and keystones.

The right-hand return elevation has a single blank bay that ends in a straight joint, indicating the division between the earlier house and a later addition. To the right of this, a stone plinth is visible at ground level, while the ground floor has been pebbledashed with later windows inserted. The rear elevation features double gables with stone copings and shaped stone kneelers, and two courses of brick remain exposed to create a string course at first floor level. There are also later windows and a basement doorway. The interior was not accessible during the re-survey in March 1996.
