Broome Farmhouse

Broome Farmhouse is a timber-framed farmhouse, likely dating from the early 17th century, with significant remodelling in the late 17th or 18th century. A late 19th-century extension was added, along with later alterations. The farmhouse is constructed of rendered timber frame and uncoursed limestone rubble, with a painted brick addition, and has slate roofs. It follows a 3-cell baffle-entry plan, with a late 19th-century addition set at a right angle to the rear on the right side. The farmhouse has two storeys and a gable-lit attic. The window arrangement is irregular, with two mid-19th century cast-iron casements on the first floor of the rubblestone section, another on the lower left side, and a window on the ground floor of the jettied timber-framed section. A boarded door with a narrow rectangular overlight is located on the far right of the rubblestone section, with a red brick ridge stack directly above. A full-length stone outshut to the rear features two gabled eaves dormers. Interior inspection was not possible during a resurvey in September 1986, but a chamfered spine beam with run-out stops was noted in the left ground-floor room.
