Description
38, 38A and 40 Broad Street is a mid-18th century town house that has been subdivided. The building features a pebbledash exterior on rubble with a stucco band, and it has a steep dry slate roof with a modillion eaves cornice. There is a brick end stack on the left and a rendered brick lateral stack with old pots at the rear left. The layout includes a single-depth plan with a deep wing at the rear left and a shallow-depth wing on the right. The house is two storeys tall with a symmetrical three-window front. It has 20th-century horned sashes with glazing bars, all of which are tripartite sashes, except for a two-pane sash located above the central doorway. The doorway features a moulded architrave and an open pediment. Inside, there is an 18th-century straight flight staircase with a closed string, a moulded handrail, newel caps, and turned balusters. The building is said to retain its original roof structure.
