Broadstone House

Broadstone House is a large house dating from the late 18th century that was divided into two houses in the early 19th century. The front is made of Flemish-bond red brick, the left side wall is constructed of limestone rubble with brick dressings, the rear wall is plastered, and the right side features plastered or slate-hung timber-framing. The house has stone end stacks with brick chimney shafts and some old chimney pots, topped with a hipped slate roof.

The building has a double-depth plan, is two rooms wide, and has a central entrance hall. No.1 is the early 19th-century addition on the right, while No.2 retains the original front doorway and most of the main house. The exterior is three storeys high with a symmetrical three-window front. The outer windows are in full-height canted bays, while the centre windows are blind, all featuring flat arches made of gauged brick. The left bay has late 19th-century front horned four-pane sash windows, while the right bay retains the original front sixteen-pane sashes and side eight-pane sashes.

The central front doorway of No.2 is round-headed and has an open-pediment porch hood supported by timber columns with simple acanthus-leaf capitals. It features fielded-panel reveals, a six-panel door, and an attractive fanlight with a radial pattern of glazing bars. The secondary front doorway into No.1 is a smaller and slightly plainer version. The left side wall facing the street has central round-headed windows with radial glazing bars on the upper floors. The rear of the house has a symmetrical three-window range, with the centre windows being twelve-pane sashes, a three/six-pane sash on the top floor, and flanking windows that are similar tripartite sashes.

Inside, both parts of the house are well-preserved and unmodernised, featuring large open-string stairs, plaster cornices, chimneypieces, and panelled doors.
