Description
Broome Hall is a country house, now divided into separate residences, dating back to approximately 1830 and originally built for Mr Andrew Spottiswoode. It was extended in the late 19th century for Sir Alexander Hargreaves Brown. The house is constructed of sandstone with ashlar copings and dressings, a slate roof, and stone stacks. The layout is roughly rectangular, with an L-shaped front facing a front drive.
The entrance front has two storeys and attics, with projecting double wings to the right and a shallow gabled break to the left. There are four stacks to the right end and a central triple stack to the left. Dormers in the attic space feature two-light sashes with label mouldings, with an angle-bay below the left-hand dormer and an oriel window beneath that to the right. The windows on the first floor alternate between two lights. The ground floor features three mullioned and transomed windows. The gabled break to the left has an attic window, an oriel window on the first floor, and a "cross" window below. The arched, square-panel double doors are located to the left of centre, contained within a vaulted portico with quatrefoil panels in the parapet above, displaying a central coat of arms. The entrance has a moulded and chamfered surround to the four-centre arched doorway. Double gabled wings extend to the right, with octagonal and diagonal stacks and leaded casement windows. Each gable end has one attic window, one first-floor window, and one ground-floor window. A single-storey conservatory range is set back to the left, incorporating a battlemented parapet that partly obscures a coved, glazed roof with wrought iron railings featuring a trefoil and foliage pattern.
The garden front includes an older range to the left, featuring gabled stone dormers with corbelled eaves and diagonal spike finials. Multiple octagonal, cross-ridge stacks are present. Dormers alternate between gabled and smaller, flat-roofed designs. The first floor has five casement windows under label mouldings, including an ashlared angle bay to the right with blind tracery panels below the lights. A Perpendicular style Gothic “cloister” runs along the ground floor, with blind traceried octagonal finials to offset buttresses alternating with four-centre, arched openings with moulded and chamfered surrounds. One bay of the cloister is glazed. A three-storey link connects to extensions, with a chamfered angle. Three gabled dormers are on the right, with a two-storey angle bay below, featuring stone-dressed mullioned and transomed windows separated by blind-tracery arcades between floors. An oriel window is positioned on the first floor to the right, and a single window is on each floor to the left of centre. A battlemented range extends to the right end, forming the rear of the conservatory.
