Broomfield Hall

Broomfield Hall is a country house, dating to around 1803, although with an earlier wing projecting at a right angle to the rear. It has been divided into four dwellings and sits within wooded grounds. The main house is constructed of red brick in a Flemish bond pattern, with wide eaves supported by brackets on the front façade, and a slate roof featuring coped verges rising to brick end stacks with decorative bands of freestone. The symmetrical front has five bays and three storeys, with 12-pane sash windows, except for the smaller 6-pane sash windows on the second floor. The windows are topped with wedge-shaped lintols accentuated with a triple key design, and feature fretwork casings for sunblinds on the ground and first floors. A central half-glazed door is set within panelled reveals, and is sheltered by a half-glazed wooden porch with a cornice and a flat, leaded roof. The porch is likely a later alteration, as the interior reveals paired cast-iron columns suggesting an earlier portico. A parallel range extends to the rear, with a slate mansard roof, brick end stacks, and two storeys plus an attic with flat-roofed dormers. This section predominantly features sash windows with glazing bars. The rear of the house includes a former service wing projecting at a right angle. The interior retains contemporary features including cornices, a staircase, fireplaces, and window shutters.
