Description
Broomhall Grange is a farmhouse built in the mid 18th century, with later additions and alterations. It is constructed of red brick in a random bond pattern, featuring yellow brick headers, and has plain and machine-tiled roofs. The building has an 'L'-shaped plan and consists of two storeys and an attic, which was originally lit from the gable of the shorter range. The long range has a dentilled eaves cornice and a wide floor band at different levels for each range.
On the long range, there are windows to the left and right of a mid 19th-century cambered doorway, with mid 19th-century casements on the first floor and late 20th-century ones on the ground floor. A brick ridge stack with paired shafts and a common capping is located at the angle between the two roofs, along with a mid 20th-century external lateral stack on the short range. The left-hand gable end has two blocked windows on the ground floor. There is a mid-to-late 19th-century addition that features a steeper roof pitch. The front of the building has no entrance and displays a one:three:one arrangement of mid 20th-century casements on the first floor.
Inside, the most notable feature is the first-floor room in the short range, which boasts a late 18th-century coved ceiling in the Adam style. This ceiling includes Wedgwood plaques set in husked garlands, with a cornice that features a motif of bugles and acorn and dart moulding in the corona above. There are two plaques in each cove, depicting Flora and a demi-god feeding his hound, along with a central square that has an excellently moulded border. The room also contains a contemporary fireplace, likely from the mid 18th century, which was altered in the late 18th century when a Dale-type hour-glass grate was inserted, and a mid 18th-century raised and fielded panelled door.
