41, Broad Street

41 Broad Street is an attached house that has been converted into an office. Originally built in the 17th century, it was largely refronted around 1760 and extended in 1881 by JH Hirst. The building is constructed of brick with limestone dressings on the front, featuring brick lateral stacks and a pantile double-pile roof, while the right-hand bay is timber-framed. It has a double-depth plan and is designed in a mid-Georgian style, standing three storeys tall with a basement and a six-window range.

The façade is divided into three sections that are set back to the right, featuring a plat band, cornice, and parapet. The window arrangement consists of three windows in the left section, two in the middle, and one in the right, which has a 17th-century roof that was refaced in the 19th century. The ground floor of the right section has two windows, and the third doorway from the left is adorned with a Gibbs surround and split key, a three-pane overlight, a fluted transom, and a six-panel door with the top four panels raised. The door is flanked by five stepped voussoirs, which are deeper on the ground floor, and the windows include 6/6-pane sashes and 3/3-pane casements on the second floor, all with flush frames and reveals in the middle section. A low plinth leads to a semicircular-arched basement opening to the right of the door.

The left-hand return is rendered and features a brick attic with two lateral stacks, two 4/4-pane ground-floor sashes, a single 6/6-pane sash above, and a small attic casement. Near the front corner, there is a cast-iron street nameplate inscribed "John Street."

Inside, the building retains a 17th-century roof with roughly-hewn trusses, trenched purlins, and wind braces at the rear. The 18th-century entrance hall features panelled wainscot leading to a semicircular-arched doorway with pilasters and a fanlight. The central rear dogleg stair has an uncut string, column balusters, newels, and a moulded rail. There is also a semicircular-arched vaulted passage leading to the rear from John Lane. The second-floor front room includes two-panel cupboards flanking the fireplace with HL hinges, as well as panelled shutters and doors. The building is connected internally to Merchant Tailor's Hall.
