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.
