16 and 18, Broad Street

16 and 18 Broad Street is a town house that has been converted into two houses. It dates from the 17th century or earlier and was remodeled in the 18th century. The building is constructed of rubble with a granite lintel on the left side of the ground floor and a timber lintel on the right. It features a steep dry slate roof with a rendered stack on the left and a brick stack on the right. The layout is single-depth with a central through-passage and rear wings. The building is two storeys high and has a nearly symmetrical three-window front. The 18th-century windows are three-light casements, with a two-light window above the doorway, featuring thick glazing bars and center-hung opening lights. There is an early 19th-century copy of a window in an altered opening on the ground floor to the right. The central doorway is open-pedimented and has pilasters. Inside, the passage has a granite flagged floor, 18th-century pine plank-and-muntin panelling, and two-panel doors. The roof structure from the 17th century includes morticed collars, which were inspected in 1980.
