Description
Boscobell House is a large Georgian house that has been converted into offices and a surgery. The exterior features rendered walls and a hipped, low-pitched slate roof behind a parapet with coping. It has one small ridge and two tall lateral stacks. The building stands three storeys high and is adorned with painted rusticated end pilasters. The front has a four-window range of sash windows, with 9 panes on the top floor and 12 panes below, all featuring narrow glazing bars set in flat architraves and painted sills. The ground floor is highlighted by a canted bay window at the center, which has a pitched slate roof and sashes on each face. To the right, there is a square-headed doorway with an architrave and decorative frieze, topped by a flat shallow moulded hood supported by deep moulded console brackets. The door is a 6-panelled design with an oblong 4-pane fanlight above. At the rear, there are two 2-storey cross wings and additional extensions.
Inside, the building has been divided into surgeries and offices but still retains some original features and fittings. These include moulded window surrounds with rosettes, panelled shutters and reveals, 6-panelled doors with moulded surrounds, and an original staircase. The staircase rises against a curved wall at the right end, leading up two flights and features a wreathed and ramped handrail, stick balusters, and shallow decorative treads.
