Building Height
The remaining Mill buildings date back to the 17 th century,
however these have been extensively remodelled and
rebuilt. The 19 th century development includes the Boulters
Restaurant and the lock-keepers House whilst 20 th century
development has evolved along Boulters Island in the form
of small residential dwellings and boathouses.
Due to the narrow, linear nature of Boulters Island, the
properties tend to sit in small plots, with the River on either
side. Most properties are detached, fairly large dwellings,
with the exception of the former Mill buildings, which have
been subdivided into flats. These buildings including the
hotel, sit within a comparatively tight plot for the size and
scale of the buildings.
Roof heights are predominantly two storey and some
single storey buildings. The larger properties such as the
hotel, contain attic windows and appear of a larger scale.
