Description


SW 73 SE CONSTANTINE

6/8 Bosawsack
-
II


Farmhouse. Circa early C18 remodelling of an earlier house; much altered internally
in the late C20. Granite rubble with dressed granite quoins, lintels and cills.
Granite rubble gable end stacks, the right hand stack projects, both have late C20
brick shafts. Slate roof with gable ends and red clay ridge tiles and lower eaves at
the back over the outshut.
Plan: Double depth plan. Probably originally a 3-room and through or cross-passage
plan, the lower end to the left and a 2-storey porch at the front. The shallow rooms
at the back were probably added in the early C18 remodelling although there is no
sign of a masonry joint at the right end even though there is a well defined
straight joint at the left end. At the time of the survey (1987) the house was being
severely restored and the internal plan much altered; the partition between the hall
and inner room has been removed.
Exterior: 2-storeys. Asymmetrical 3-window range. All late C20 plastic sashes with
glazing bars in former openings with dressed granite lintels and cills. Gabled 2-
storey porch to left of centre with granite chamfered 4-centred arch outer and inner
doorways with diagonal stops, and a granite 2-light first floor window, the mullion
mission.
The rear elevation has late C20 plastic windows.
Interior: Completely altered in the late C20 and there appear to be no exposed
features.
The Hearth Tax return of 1664 describes the house as "new built" (Henderson),
Bosawsack was in the small manor of Treworwal.
