Full description

A dwelling house in the north east part of Bosigran settlement, now reused as a farm building, appears to have been of C17 origin (h1, b6). It is shown on the 1834 map (b1) and Eric Berry felt the very small ground floor window openings were early, possibly C17, as were the coping and kneeling stones on the gables (h1, b6). Herring considered it possible that the house was originally a single storey cabin raised to two storeys in the C17 (h2, b8). Listed Building, Grade II, listed 7/9/1988.
