With origins dating to circa 1780, Boswell House was constructed as a pair of houses, built of handsome brick elevations with rendered pebble stone decorative relief, upper parts hung with red clay tiles, all under a deep pitched clay tile roof. The sliding sash windows (all in working order) embellish the considerable aesthetic appeal. At this time (1780), it was linked to the neighbouring historic manor house, believed to date from the 17th century.
The enchanting accommodation that is so well arranged over four floors also offers potential for further development by way of the detached Coach House. Our clients, who have been in residence for approaching two decades, have overseen considerable works of refurbishment, extension and renovation, this providing a vibrant family environment along with considerable space for entertaining.
