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. Source: Charles Henderson.
