Description
Broomhill House is a house believed to have been constructed in 1912 by Detmar Blow. It is built of thin, handmade brick imported from Holland, with some greensand rubble to the plinth of the right bay. The building exhibits moulded brick eaves and dressings, old tile hipped roofs, and symmetrical brick chimneys.
The design is intended to resemble a late 17th-century house arranged on an H-shaped plan. The house has two storeys and an attic, with basement panels. It features three-pane sash windows set in raised brick surrounds with roll mouldings to the inner edges. Upper-floor windows are notable for small stone balconies with plain iron railings, and moulded brick pediments on brackets above. The recessed central section has three-pane sashes in similar surrounds, framing a six-panelled door with a rectangular fanlight. The doorway is surrounded by moulded brick, a segmental pediment on console brackets, and a blind oval panel above. Two hipped dormers incorporate barred wooden casements.
The rear of the house was originally designed with a central portico containing round thermal windows above, but it has been altered with the addition of a large bay window.
Inside, the staircase is in a similar style to the exterior.
