Broome Park

Broome Park is a country house, dating to the early 19th century, with 20th-century extensions. It is now used as a nursing home. The exterior is incised white-washed stucco, with slate mansard roofs. The main front has two storeys and attics, with three flat-roofed dormers. Rendered stacks are visible at the ends and rear. The three-bay front is arranged as a symmetrical A B A composition, featuring angle pilaster piers and articulating piers with an eaves cornice. Windows are mostly 12-pane, glazing-bar sashes. The ground floor outer bays have tripartite sashes with panelled aprons, and flat hoods on console brackets. The centre bay has three 12-pane sashes and a circular portico with curved sashes and a cornice supported by attached Corinthian half-columns. Half-glazed double doors are to one side, with panelled doors within. A 20th-century flat-roofed extension with whitewashed render and a flint panel projects to the front right.

The left-hand return front has two dormers and six first-floor, 12-pane sash windows between piers, alongside five ground-floor sashes and two flanking a fixed, round-arched casement. A door with a transome light sits to the right. A left range features two first-floor and two ground-floor 12-pane sash windows, paired with a fixed casement, and a plate sash above a wide, cambered-head, fixed casement.

At the rear, a flat-roofed extension with balcony railings projects to the right. The left side has irregular sash windows, with a clock face and cupola above.

Inside, the entrance hall is panelled and includes some marble fireplaces. Traceried fanlights are above the doors. A residents' lounge is distinguished by panelled walls with a dado railing, a broken pediment doorcase, and thin foliate plasterwork ceilings. The house was previously the residence of Sir Benjamin Brodie Bt., doctor to George IV and William IV, who died there on 21 October 1862.
