Broadley Farmhouse

Broadley Farmhouse is a disused farmhouse, noted in 1985, with the right-hand end currently used as a farm building. It dates from around the mid-17th century, with alterations made in the 19th century. The structure is built of stone rubble and cob, with the front of the first floor rendered. The roof is made of corrugated asbestos, gabled at the left end, while some slates remain on the right end, which is hipped. There are three stone stacks: one projecting from the left gable end and another slightly to the rear of the ridge.

The original layout may have included two or three rooms with a through passage. The hall stack backs onto this passage, and a straight joint indicates that the inner room may have been rebuilt or added later. The positioning of the stacks suggests that the house has been refronted and re-roofed, although the through passage plan remains intact. At the rear left, there is an outshut under a slate roof that contains a dairy and part of the stair.

The farmhouse is two storeys high and features an asymmetrical five-window front. It has a gabled stone porch with stone seats and a segmental-headed doorway. There is another entrance on the front leading into the inner room, which is currently used as a cattle shed. The ground floor includes a three-light casement window to the right under a timber lintel, and two two-light casements to the left of the porch, also under timber lintels. On the first floor, five two-light casements with slate sills are positioned high under the eaves.

Inside, a segmental-headed rear doorway leads from the passage into the rear outshut. The hall features a slate floor and a large fireplace with a chamfered timber lintel, which is concealed behind a mantelpiece from the early 20th century. The hall also has a fixed timber seat below the window, remnants of 19th-century panelling, and a cream oven. A stair rises from the hall, featuring bobbin balusters. The fireplace in the inner room has a roughly-chamfered timber lintel, but the ceiling of the inner room no longer exists. The lower end room contains a 20th-century fireplace, which may be hiding earlier features. The trusses in the building appear to be from the 19th century.
