Bosvathick Lodge

Bosvathick was a farming hamlet in the hilly farmland just inland from Falmouth. In 1760 it became the centre of a traditional estate & in 1884 the owners added a pretty lodge to one side of their main entrance, with its magnificent lions and balled piers. The Lodge (for which the first & only sketch was on the back of a now treasured envelope) was designed to be quaint. It was built for £210 of granite ashlar, with a pyramidal hipped roof of fish scale slate with deep eaves, decorated ridges and barges, a gabled porch and fine chimneys. The house is listed, and has been kept with its original features. The Lodge is charming. It has its own little drive, lawn and large garden with many trees on the south, with farmland beyond the garden. Across the road above the high Cornish stone banks is more farmland, a tree lined drive leading to tracks, wood & farmland where visitors are welcome to walk.
