Description

Broompark is a later 19th-century cottage villa located on Shore Road in Kilcreggan, built after 1865. It is a two-storey, three-bay rectangular-plan building with a jamb at the rear. The exterior features stugged squared and snecked sandstone with polished ashlar margins and dressings, chamfered reveals, and rubble on the side and rear. The structure includes rusticated quoins, a door surround, and a base course.

On the southwest elevation, the three bays are symmetrically arranged. The central round-headed door has a rusticated surround and features a four-panelled door with a Y-tracery fanlight above. A gabled dormer head with a replacement top-hopper window is positioned above the door. The flanking bays have canted windows with a pierced balustrade, and a small blank plaque is located at the center. The gable breaks the eaves over a three-centred arched window, which has a hoodmould and acorn labelstops.

The northwest elevation displays a broad gable with a window at the centre of the first floor and two windows to the left of centre on the ground floor, both with raised cills. A lower service block is recessed to the rear, featuring a small and a large window on the ground floor, along with a window directly under the eaves on the first floor.

The southeast elevation also has a broad gable, with windows at both the ground and first floors at the centre, and rainwater pipes running up the gable.

The windows are plate glass timber sash and case. The roof is covered with grey slate and features wooden eaves boarding. Sandstone stacks with coped apexes and octagonal cans complete the roofline.

The boundary wall includes ashlar gatepiers with stop-chamfered arrises and pyramidal caps, inscribed with 'Broompark'. The rubble quadrant walls have harl-pointing and ashlar saddleback coping, along with simple curved cast-iron railings. There is a weathered fluted pilaster to the outer left, likely part of the boundary wall for Kirklea.
