Broad House (Everitt Park)

Broad House, located on Bridge Road in Oulton Broad, is a house built in the late 18th century with significant early 19th-century additions. It underwent restoration between 1984 and 1985. The original structure is made of flint with brick dressings and features slate roofs, designed in a Gothick style.

The house has two storeys, with the original design comprising a central canted block flanked by side wings. The central block has two window bays on the front and one on each side. There is a square porch offset to the right, featuring an arched opening beneath a crenellated parapet, which has rebated merlons. The left side has one horned 6/6 sash window, while the first floor has two unhorned sashes. Each canted bay contains one Gothick sash window on each floor, characterized by pointed arches and Y-tracery. The parapet of the central block is crenellated, mirroring the porch.

The side wings have been reduced to one storey, with brick second storeys added. The right wing features a late 20th-century upper storey, while the left wing has an early 20th-century addition that has been elaborated into a substantial two-storey block, completed in 1902. The ground floor of this block retains its 18th-century character, with a gabled central porch on kneelers, one Y-tracery sash window to the left, and two early 20th-century 6/6 sashes on the first floor under gauged skewback arches. This block has a tall hipped roof covered in machine tiles, and the rear displays five 6/6 sashes arranged like the dots on a die, with one wall stack on each side.

At the center of the rear is a tall two-storey 19th-century block with a canted end, featuring 6/6 sash windows. This block connects to the rear of the Gothick front, appearing as a hipped roof above it, with Y-tracery sashes under the eaves on both sides. Additionally, there is a further two-storey 19th-century brick wing extending to the northeast, consisting of three bays with sash windows and two stacks on the hipped roof.
