II
Includes: Bosco House OLDHAM'S LANE. House, now converted to multiple dwellings. Externally largely c1830, remodelling an earlier house and incorporating possibly a late C18 coach house and stable range as a rear wing. Further remodelling to interior, c1880, altered c1990. Stucco with stone quoins, slate-hung to rear, and slate roof. EXTERIOR: 2 storeys, 3-window range to entrance front, with doorway in gabled porch towards right, two 3-light mullioned windows to its left, and a squared bay window to the right, all with hoodmoulds over. 3-gabled garden front, with ogee-headed lights to mullioned windows in outer gables and full-height bow window to central gable. Rear wing possibly formerly coach house and stables, the fenestration largely renewed but a blocked round opening (perhaps originally a pitching eye) at first-floor level on each side. INTERIOR: wood panelled entrance hall with early C18-style stair case with turned balusters, top-lit. Some C18 plasterwork (wall panelling and cornice) survives, but much of the internal detail is apparently late C19. (Bolton Journal, 26 December 1885, Pictorial Bolton Series LXXXVI: Bolton).
