Description
Broomeells is a house, now divided, dating from around 1890 and built for Mr Cubitt by J. H. Wadling. The construction incorporates red brick at ground level, with fishscale and plain tile hanging above, swept out over the ground floor. The roof is tiled, featuring ridge cresting and gable finials. The building has an L-shaped layout. It is two storeys high with attics, and includes ribbed and corbelled decorative stacks along the roof ridges.
A gabled range projects to the left, with a single four-light attic dormer and two twelve-pane sash windows on the ground floor, each set within gauged brick heads. A gabled, bargeboarded dormer is on the right-hand wall of a wing, and there are two first-floor and one ground-floor sash windows beneath it. A central gabled dormer features irregular fenestration below, including two first-floor sashes, one first-floor casement window over a between-floors casement. A ground-floor sash window sits under a cambered head, alongside a glazed door, also under a similar head, which provides access to flats.
A gabled break to the right includes an oriel attic window on scroll brackets beneath a gabled break. A fifteen-light window (3 x 5) with decorative glazing is on the first floor, alongside a cambered-head decoratively glazed window to the ground floor, to the left of the main entrance, and a sash window to the right. The front door consists of nine fielded panels with an arched head featuring radiating panels above and foliage carved spandrels flanking. It is sheltered by a deep shell hood with dentils over console brackets and ribbed brick attached Doric columns.
The left-hand return front has a large gabled attic on the ridge and two shuttered first-floor windows, with three cambered-head sash windows below. A central door recess is present. Single-storey wings project to the ends. The right-hand return front features a large gable with a first-floor oriel window on brackets and a pentice extension on the ground floor. The rear elevation has double angle bays under wide gables flanking a recessed centre. It includes glazing bar sash fenestration and a central dormer above.
