Broome House Farmhouse

Broome House Farmhouse is a farmhouse that dates from the early 17th century and has been altered over time. It is constructed of brick, which is colourwashed and partly rendered. The main roof is plain tiled, with some pantiled extensions. The building is L-shaped, with two storeys and attics, and features a cross passage plan in the main range.

The 17th-century section has two storeys and attics, with three 5-light casement windows that have ovolo moulded mullions set in chamfered reveals. There are remnants of stuccoed ashlar decoration around the window openings. On the ground floor, the left side has a later lean-to porch that includes a 6-panel door and a semicircular fanlight with radiating glazing bars, framed by a fluted architrave with corner paterae. The ground floor also features 4 and 5-light ovolo moulded mullion windows, with the left-hand window having a transom.

The doorway is off centre and has a double-quadrant moulded frame with carved stops, leading to a door with studded and quadrant moulded vertical battens. Drip moulds are present over the ground floor openings. An attic dormer contains a 2-light casement. The eaves have brick saw-tooth and modillion courses, and the west gable is crow-stepped with blocked attic and first-floor window openings. There are chimney stacks at both the east and west ends.

At the rear (south), there is a later two-storey wing that is partly timber framed and rendered. The south gable is stepped and has an internal chimney stack. The rear wall of the 17th-century range has two 5-light ovolo moulded mullion and transom windows, along with one 2-light ovolo moulded window next to the stack at first-floor level. A 20th-century lean-to porch is located in the angle. There is also a 17th-century doorway on the south elevation that mirrors the detailing of the one on the north elevation. Inside, the farmhouse features ovolo moulded tie beams and first-floor joists with ogee stops.
