Borezell

Borezell is a house, formerly an inn, dating from the 18th century. It exhibits a distinctive Arts and Crafts style with a balanced asymmetry. The main two-storey range faces west over the road, with a canted northwest corner block, likely an altered entrance. A low, single-storey service range sits behind this, facing north over a side lane.

The house is roughcast with jettied half-timbered gables, red plain tile roofs, and roughcast stacks. The west front has an upper floor which is jettied over two canted bays, with a doorway between them. The upper floor is roughcast, except for the right end, which features black and white half-timbering and a bargeboarded gable, supported by curved brackets from red sandstone shield corbels at the corners. The eaves to the left of the gable have white-painted flat boarding between rafter ends; a similar treatment extends to the right of the gable at a higher level, creating a varied roof edge that is repeated across the south end gable as a flat soffit to the swept-out red tiling in the gable apex. The south gable has deep verges, and the rear roof slopes down low.

The south end features a similar canted bay with a hipped tile roof, and a single window to the first floor on the left. Sloping buttresses are present on the south wall at the angles. Bay windows have 2, 3, and 2 lights, featuring 4-pane top-lights, set on battered roughcast bases. All windows are small-paned. The first floor west front has a triple casement to the left, a small pair of casements to the centre (both under the eaves), and two casement pairs to the half-timbered gable. A double half-glazed oak door sits under a pointed, double-chamfered red sandstone arch, with roughcast, chamfered jambs. The south end first floor window is a casement with a top-light.

To the left of the main west front is a projecting roughcast section with a large roughcast chimney to the right, a triple casement to the ground floor on the left, and a casement pair above. A gutter runs across the chimney, which rises through a tiled gable.

The canted northwest front is roughcast with an ornate half-timbered, jettied gabled centrepiece. A ground floor square bay stands on a battered roughcast base, featuring a 2, 4, 2, and 2-light window with top-lights, and similar single lights on the sides. The central four lights have a depressed arched head. The upper floor is broader and jettied, with angle brackets on red stone corbels, flanking a canted oriel corresponding to the bay below, with 2, 3, and 2 small-paned casements above the half timber, carried on timber brackets. The overall design culminates in a half-timbered gable. The northeast end gable is similar to the south gable with tiled apex and deep verges, with a roughcast stack on the gable, one 5-light ground floor casement, and raking buttresses at the angles.

The single-storey range facing the northeast towards the churchyard has three casement pairs, with the left pair smaller, and a hipped east gable. The rear of the main range has a large roughcast gable, a roughcast stack on the ridge, a triple casement to the first floor right, and a tall battered wall-face stack to the left. A flat-roofed section connects the main range and the rear of the canted northwest block.
