The outshut behind the kitchen was probably an unheated service room and might have been an original feature of the house.

INTERIOR largely intact and complete with much of the original joinery and carpentry, including plank partitions on ground and first floors, closely-spaced ovolo-moulded ceiling beams in both ground floor rooms; north room is kitchen and has large fireplace with stone jambs, chamfered timber bressumer with straigt-cut stops and oven with iron door. Parlour fireplace has large re-used stone in left jamb. Pegged rafter roof trusses; purlins replaced.
Bosoughan Cottage is a largely intact early C18 cob-built house with unusually complete interior features.
