Broadfield House

Broadfield House, originally known as Broadfield Country Club, is a residence dating from around 1830, with a wing added around 1860. The building is two storeys high, finished in stucco, and features low pitched Welsh slate roofs with deep projecting eaves. The main facade faces east and has five windows, including a prominent curved two-storey bow at the center, which is complemented by a verandah that projects from the lower storey, supported by five square piers and two Tuscan columns. The north front consists of three bays, with a small bow in the upper storey and a verandah below. The windows are fitted with jalousies and have wide central panes flanked by narrow side panes. Inside, three ground floor rooms from the original section preserve decoration from the end of the first Greek Revival period. The west side was extended around 1860 to include a large hall with a first-floor gallery and top-lighting. The entrance is located in this three-bay westward extension, which features round-headed windows.
