Description
No 86 on Broadway is a detached house dating from the late 18th century to early 19th century. It is built from cut and squared Ham stone with ashlar dressings and features a thatched roof between stepped coped gables, along with brick chimney stacks. The house has two storeys with an attic and three bays. It has horizontal-bar casement windows with three lights; the lower windows have stone lintels while the upper ones have timber lintels. In the lower bay two, there is a nine-panelled door set in a plain recess.
There is a later 19th-century open stone porch that has chamfered square-plan columns and pilasters, four-centre arches, and a shouldered front gable topped with a ball finial on the coping of a Welsh slated roof. Attic casement windows are present in both gables.
About 5 metres south-west of the house is the front boundary, which consists of squared random rubble walling approximately one metre high. This wall is capped with cast-iron railings that have alternate points and fleur-de-lys tops, along with obelisk finials on the cast standards and gateposts, and a matching gate opposite the porch.
