Description

Broomhill is a farmhouse that likely dates from the mid to late 17th century, with later additions and alterations. It is constructed of painted roughly coursed slate-stone and has a slate roof. The building features three bays and is two storeys high, with a three-window front. On the ground floor, there are three-light 19th-century casement windows on either side of a 20th-century lean-to glazed porch that leads to a 20th-century six-panel door, which has glazed upper panels. Directly below the eaves are three late 20th-century casements designed in a 19th-century style. The farmhouse has an integral end stack with slate drips on the right side and a similar ridge stack, which may have originally been an end stack, located at the junction with the attached L-shaped cowhouse on the left.

Inside, the ground-floor rooms of the house have exposed sawn joists, with the left room featuring late 20th-century joists. There are open fireplaces with chamfered wood lintels, brick-edged ventilation holes at the back, and cloam ovens. The first floor showcases roughly carved cross beams and the protruding bases of the principal rafters of a collar truss roof, which has seven bays. The cowhouse has a 19th-century collar truss roof. There are late 20th-century flat-roofed and gabled additions to the rear of the house, which are not considered to have special architectural interest.
