Description
Broumfield is an early 19th-century farmhouse located on North Street in Barming. The building features a front made of red brick in Flemish bond, with red and grey brick used for the gables, and a slate roof. It is a double-depth structure with two storeys set on a chamfered brick plinth. A rendered plat band runs around the building, and the flat eaves have paired Ionic modillions. The hipped slate roof has hips that return.
The farmhouse has two projecting brick gable end stacks on the right and a broader projecting stack at the front of the left gable end. The front facade is regularly arranged with three windows: two 16-pane sashes and a central 12-pane sash, all in open boxes. The ground floor also has two 16-pane sashes. All windows feature splayed rubbed brick voussoirs. The central entrance is a half-glazed door set within a reeded architrave adorned with paterae, and it is topped with a flat hood.
To the left gable end, there are two small windows, and the rear of the building has two doors. The interior has not been inspected. This farmhouse was formerly known as North House and is marked as Broomfield on the Ordnance Survey map.
