Description
Broomhill House is a house dating from about 1700, with alterations from the 19th and 20th centuries. It is timber-framed and largely covered by a 19th-century skin of gault brick, which is mostly colourwashed, with a Roman tile roof and a brick stack at the centre of the ridge. The house has a 3-unit plan and is single-storey with an attic.
The front of the house has a partly glazed door on the left, two 2-light casement windows, and a plank door on the right. There is an old 2-light dormer window above. On the left end is a single-light casement with a 3-light window above it, and on the right end are two single-light casements. A lean-to extension to the rear, mainly of 20th-century character, has a catslide roof and contains a 3-light window, various single-light windows, and an old plank door to the rear.
The interior reveals extensive tall panel framing. A diamond mullion window, now internal, is visible on the rear wall of the central room. There is an open fireplace with a bressumer and hood. A bridging beam features ogee stops to the chamfers on one end, and a framed partition leads to the room on the left. A 20th-century staircase is located on the first floor, which in two of the three units retains the original collar rafter roof with trenched purlins. Timber framing is visible in the gable ends and in a partition next to the stack, where the hood of the stack is visible. The timber frame of the house remains largely unaltered beneath the later brick skin.
