53, Broad Street

No. 53 on Broad Street is a house dating from the mid-18th century. It features a four-storey front that is stuccoed and timber-framed, with an oversailing design. The ground floor has a reproduction early 19th-century shop front and an early 19th-century doorframe. The house has three-sided bays that extend the full height of the building, topped with a moulded cornice and parapet. Each bay contains 18th-century sash windows with glazing bars. In recent years, the house was completely rebuilt behind the street frontage, and a modern slate mansard roof is now visible from the street. Nos. 48 to 53 form a group with Trinity and Balliol Colleges.
