Description

Boverton Park House is a two-storey building with rubblestone walls that are completely covered in pebbledash cladding. It features Welsh slate roofs, including a hipped roof on the south-east elevation and two parallel ranges extending north-west from there. The eastern range is smaller and has a ball finial on the north-west gable, while the south-west gable includes a stack.

The main south-east elevation has two 19th-century French casement windows with centre margin lights and overlights featuring tracery on the ground floor, positioned on either side of a central doorway. This doorway has two doors, each with three flush panels, and an overlight with tracery. There is also a veranda with a lead roof supported by trellised iron. On the first floor, there are three later 19th-century 2-light casement windows with transoms. The hipped roof has flanking stacks and two spike finials. Additionally, a 3-bay single-storey swimming pool, designed in a matching style, was added to the right side of this elevation in the 1990s.

The north-east elevation primarily features sandstone 2-light mullioned windows with dripstones. From the north end, there is a window on both the ground and first floors, followed by a small single-light ground floor window, then a ground floor and first floor window, and finally a 3-light window with a 2-light window above. The added swimming pool covers the remainder of this elevation.

The south-west elevation has similar stone mullioned windows, including one 4-light window with a transom, along with other later windows, resulting in a total of four window bays.

The north-west elevation has paired gables and a small tented verandah, with modern windows except for the arched stair sash.

The interior details are not available at the time of resurvey. However, the existing description notes that the south-east parlours feature 19th-century moulding on the casement frames and ceilings. The middle room on the south-west ground floor has a stopped and chamfered beam, as does the north-east ground floor room. There is a 19th-century staircase with straight wood balusters and a smooth handrail, along with an arch on the landing and contemporary moulding on the landing ceiling, as well as six-panel doors.
