St Joseph's Hut, Broxwood Court

St Joseph's Hut at Broxwood Court is a garden house believed to have been built in the 1860s and is attributed to the architect William Andrews Nesfield.

The structure is made of brick with a timber veranda and has a slate roof. It has a rectangular plan, oriented with its shorter ends facing north-west and south-east. The building is single-storey and features a pitched roof with gable ends on the north-west and south-east sides. A veranda surrounds all four sides, supported by chamfered timber posts with diagonal braces. The roof of the veranda is integrated with the main roof, forming a catslide on the longer north-eastern and south-western slopes, while on the shorter sides, it meets the gable ends as a lean-to. The centre of the south-western catslide features a small pitched roof porch that provides access to the doorway. The brick walls are laid in stretcher bond and are tied by a horizontal timber at window cill level. The doors and windows are made of timber, with the windows featuring ogee-headed lights and coloured glass in the tracery above.

On the south-west facing elevation, there is a single window on either side of the central glazed timber double door, which has a brick threshold and an arched surround. The south-east elevation includes a window with three mullions, and above the veranda roof, in the exposed part of the gable, there is a small stone niche that houses a statue of Our Lady, which is a replacement for the original statue of St Joseph that had been damaged. A brick chimney stack extends from the solid, long north-eastern rear elevation, while the north-west short end is also solid.

Inside, the space is open to the roof, with exposed brick walls and visible timber ties. The floor is made of concrete, and there is a simple brick fireplace located in the centre of the north-eastern wall.
