Description

Broadmead Farmhouse is a late 17th-century farmhouse, extended in the 18th century. It is constructed of rubble stone with a Welsh slate and tiled roof, and brick stacks. The building is two storeys high with a four-window front. A planked stable door is set within a gabled brick porch to the right of the centre, with a three-light casement window to the right and a two-light and a three-light casement to the left. The first floor has three two-light casement windows and a three-light hollow-chamfered mullioned casement to the right. A straight joint indicates a dressed limestone bay on the right was added later, and the left-hand side was likely also an addition. A lean-to shed is attached to the left return, and a single-light casement window is located in the attic. The rear of the farmhouse features an outshut to the right with three-light casements, and another to the left, displaying a deeply incised datestone which reads '1539'; this is likely a reset stone similar to those found at Manor Farmhouse. A two-storey rear wing has a blocked doorway and three-light casements, with a tiled rear roof pitch. Internally, a southwest room contains a small stone fireplace with winding stairs on one side. Joinery features include doors with two fielded panels and plank doors with strap hinges. A first-floor bedroom has wainscot panelling, a moulded plaster ceiling cornice, chamfered beams, and some plank and muntin partition work. The farm was formerly the property of Jesus College, Cambridge.
