Description

Broad Oak Farmhouse is a mid-17th century farmhouse constructed with a rendered and roughcast timber frame, featuring a corrugated iron roof that has replaced the original thatch. The building has a lobby-entrance plan and is two storeys high, with an east front that includes a two-window range. There is a late 19th-century gabled porch located to the right of the centre. On the ground floor, there is one three-over-three unhorned sash window to the left and one two-light casement window to the right. The first floor has two two-light casement windows. A ridge stack is positioned over the doorway.

The rear elevation features one two-light casement window on both the ground and first floors, along with an additional single-light casement window on the first floor. The south gable end has one three-light casement window on each floor, with a weatherboarded gable head. A single-storey outbuilding made of brick and covered with pantiles is attached to the north gable end.

Inside, the ground-floor south room contains a wide inglenook fireplace with 17th-century brickwork, 18th-century repairs, and a domed bread oven that was relined in the 18th century. It features a chamfered timber bressumer and a plain bridging beam supported by chamfered principal studs, with the timber frame exposed on the walls. The room to the south was subdivided in the mid-19th century to create a single-flight staircase and a narrow room at the extreme south, which has chamfered ceiling joists with run-out stops and a chamfered middle rail. The north room includes a secondary late 19th-century staircase within a boarded screen. This room also has a chamfered bridging beam carried on chamfered principal studs with run-out stops. The first-floor rooms showcase exposed timber framing, with the south truss featuring a steeply cambered tie beam and chamfered wall plates. There is no access to the roof.
