Description

Broom House Farmhouse is a house built around 1840. It features coursed squared sandstone with quoins and ashlar dressings, while the right return and rear are finished in incised stucco. The roof is made of Welsh slate with yellow ridge tiles, and there are rendered chimneys along with stone gable copings at the rear. The building is in an L-plan and has two storeys with three bays. There are steps leading up to a central partly-glazed door with a patterned overlight, all set in a plain stone surround that includes corner blocks, a cornice, and a blocking course. The windows are 16-pane sashes, some of which have been renewed, and they feature flat stone lintels and projecting stone sills. The roof is hipped at the front and has parallel gabled ridges at the rear, with chimneys and wide eaves. Additionally, there is a one-storey, two-bay rear left wing that has stone gable coping and an ashlar ridge chimney.
