Description
No. 16 Broad Street is a house with a shop that has been converted to offices. It dates from the early 19th century and has been modified over time. The building is rendered and colourwashed, featuring a Welsh slate roof with coping on the south side, an abutment on the north, and a pantile roof on the rear slope. There are brick chimney stacks.
The exterior has three storeys and three bays. The late 19th-century shop front includes a central recessed doorway, plain side pilasters, and a shallow fascia under a cornice moulding, with two vertical panes on each side. On the first floor, there are three 12-pane sash windows, and on the second floor, there are two 9-pane sash windows, with the centre bay lacking a window. The rear wall is plain and rendered.
The building is part of the development that occurred shortly after Broad Street, formerly known as Wette or Water Lane, was widened between 1835 and 1849.
