5 And 6, Broadwell

The buildings at 5 and 6 Broadwell comprise a small house (No 5) attached to a former pre-Reformation religious building (No 6), which may have served as a priest's house or part of a nunnery recorded in the area. The buildings date primarily to the 15th century, but have undergone significant alterations in the 18th, 19th, and 20th centuries; the house (No 5) is early 19th century, with 20th-century alterations.

The structure is built of random rubble marlstone, largely painted, with patching in various materials, including artificial stone. No 5 has brick chimneys, while No 6 has a clay pantile roof and No 5 has concrete plain tiles. No 6 is a two-story building in an L-shape, with a 20th-century addition in the angle. No 5 is also two stories and bridges a passageway between the two buildings.

The west front of No 6 features a blocked pointed-arched doorway at a low level, with a hood mould. To the right is a four-light mullioned and transomed window, blocked below the transom, with restored 19th or 20th century cinquefoil heads and a hood mould; it is thought this may have formerly been a window to an open hall. The right side has a two-window fenestration of two-light mullioned casements with pointed-arched heads. The upper floor casement to the left is a 19th-century square-headed un-mullioned casement. The left-hand ground floor casement has trefoil cusping, while the right-hand ground floor casement has cinquefoil but is badly mutilated. The upper floor casement on the right is un-cusped; cusping was possibly removed. The south end has a parapet gable with an octagonal stone chimney with a ridge mould. The rear elevations have received numerous 20th century alterations.

No 5 has small-paned casements to the front elevation, with a brick segmental arch over the ground floor casement to the left of the passageway. The rear elevation has single-window small-paned casements similar to those at the front. The interior of No 6 was altered in the 20th century and has not been inspected. Water landscaping is present to the south and at the foot of the wall of No 6. Further historical investigation could be beneficial.
