Description

Broughton House is a house dating from the early 17th century, with later extensions from the 17th, 19th, and 20th centuries. It is constructed of squared coursed limestone and lias, with some parts banded, and features a Collyweston slate roof. Originally designed with a two-unit plan, it has since been modified into a T-shape and stands two storeys tall.

The elevation facing Main Street has a gable end that abuts the road on the right. To the left, there is a one-window range with a 19th-century casement window under a wooden lintel on the ground floor. The return wall of the cross-wing also has a similar one-window range on both the ground and first floors. A six-panel door, located to the left, is set under a stone lintel. There is a former lean-to that has been raised in brick with a flat roof, attached to the right of the gable end. The house features a blocked two-light stone mullion cellar window and a single-light window with a moulded stone surround. The gable parapets are made of ashlar, and there is a stone stack at the ridge. Additionally, there are 19th and 20th-century single-storey extensions to the right. The interior has not been inspected but is noted to have an open fireplace with a stop-chamfered bressumer and pyramid stops.
