front lateral stack on left and stone rubble stack on right hand gable end. Rear wing
to left of painted and rendered stone rubble with rag slate roof and stone rubble
gable end stack.
2 room and cross passage plan; the left hand hall kitchen heated by a front lateral
stack and the right hand possibly parlour by a gable end stack. Service wing
probably added to rear of hall kitchen in circa early C17; one room plan heated by
end stack.
2 storeys, asymmetrical two window front with ground rising steeply to right. Circa
C20 2-light casement with glazing bars to left and late C18 2-light casements to

Interior; partly remodelled in C19. The central cross passage is flanked by two
fairly thick cross walls which continue up to the first floor. The circa C18 ceiling
beams in the left hand hall have bowtell mouldings. Fireplaces remodelled in C20 and
circa C19 stair to rear of central passage. Several C18 2-panel doors on first
floor. A full inspection of the 7-bay roof structure was not accessible; however
although the feet of the principals have been largely boxed in at least one foot
appears to be curved; the purlins appear to be trenched. In the rear service wing,
the foot of one of the principals is visible and appears to have a pronounced curve.
Particularly unaltered picturesque house in centre of Boscastle village.
