Description
Broadoaks Farmhouse is a Grade II* listed building that represents the remaining part of a large 16th century moated brick manor house, built in 1560. The current structure is the north block of the original house, while the south front has been largely modernized following the demolition of the original section. The south front features modern bar and transom casement windows, although the entrance has a partly original moulded door frame.
The east front showcases two gables, some 18th century brickwork, and double-hung sash windows with glazing bars. The north and west sides retain original features, although the west side has undergone some modern restoration. The gabled section at the west end of the north front includes a 12-light window on the ground floor, an 18-light double transomed window on the first floor, and a 4-light attic window, all restored with lattice leaded lights. Similar windows can be found on the west side, some featuring brick mullions and transoms. The west front is buttressed and has a dentilled eaves cornice made of moulded brick. The roof is tiled and boasts three original chimney stacks with octagonal shafts.
Inside, the farmhouse contains notable features, including fine stone fireplaces in the upper storey north-west room, an oak fireplace in the south-west room, various doors and panelling, and an open fireplace in the hall. The east room includes features from the 18th century.
