Description
Broadhall is a house, now incorporating a shop, dating back to the late 15th or early 16th century, which has undergone extensive remodelling and extensions in the 19th century. It is constructed of plastered and exposed stone rubble walls with granite ashlar detailing, and has a gable-ended slate roof with two brick gable end stacks. A projecting original front lateral stack of stone rubble with granite ashlar quoins features a tall shaft with a tapering cap and moulded dripcourse.
The original plan was likely a 3-room and through passage layout, though this has been significantly altered. Surviving elements of the earlier house include the passage on the left and the hall to its right, along with a projecting window bay and adjoining lateral stack. The interior was heavily remodelled in the 19th century, with a shop created in the inner room and a late 19th-century wing added to the rear.
The front of the building presents an asymmetrical 3-window facade, with a shop to the right and a projecting gabled bay window centrally. A two-centred moulded granite arched doorway with arched hoodmould and a 20th-century plank double door is on the left, above which is an early to mid-19th century 16-pane sash window. The projecting stack is immediately to the right of the doorway, with a large window bay beyond, and a chamfered plinth extends around both. The ground-floor bay window has an ornate eight-light mullion window; four original mullions survive, ornately carved with a delicate leaf design, continuing round the head above each light, while the remaining mullions are granite replacements. A 19th-century 3-light transomed window with leaded panes is above. The gable features decorative bargeboards and a finial. A small stone inscribed with the date 1689 is positioned above the mullion window, though it was discovered elsewhere on the property and placed there in the 20th century. To the right of the bay is a circa late 19th-century double shop front, with a late 19th-century showroom window above the right-hand section. Internal features are largely concealed by 19th and 20th-century alterations, and the roof was entirely replaced in the 19th century.
