Description

Broom Hall is a small country house dating from the mid-18th century, with a southern front rebuilt in the later 18th century and 19th-century additions and alterations. It is constructed of red brick with slate roofs. The main block is three storeys high, with a three-storey block to the rear, a two-storey addition to the northeast, and a single-storey block to the northwest.

The five-bay south elevation of the main block features a slight projection of the central bay. The central windows are tripartite sashes, with the first-floor window apparently masking an original round-headed opening. The outer windows are sashes with glazing bars, all set within gauged brick heads. A semi-circular Doric porch has fluted pilasters and columns, and radiating plasterwork decoration to the ceiling. A six-panel door is flanked by sidelights with almond-shaped glazing bars, above a semicircular fanlight with radiating glazing bars. The elevation is finished with a plain parapet and stone dressings. Multiple stacks are visible on the side elevations.

The northwest block includes a wing in a "Gothick" style, visible on the north elevation. This section is of chequered brick and features a stone-dressed embattled parapet. Two tripartite sash windows with ogee heads and interlacing glazing bars flank a single sash window in a similar style. This single sash replaces a glazed door. The surrounds and finials of the left-hand window are of stone, while those of the right-hand window are of wood.

The interior has been extensively reworked in the 19th century.
