Broadwoodside Farm

Broadwoodside Farm is a late 17th-century courtyard-plan farmhouse and steading with 19th and 20th-century additions and alterations. The buildings are constructed of random rubble with stugged dressings and long and short quoins.

The E range is a single storey structure arranged in a near U plan.

The NW elevation is blank and dates from the earlier 19th century.

The NE elevation is a 9-bay asymmetrical front with a missing roof to the central 18th-century bays. It features a doorway to the 6th bay from the right, window openings to each flanking bay, and a window opening to the 4th bay from the right with the remains of a gable wall advanced to the right. There is a blank bay to the 3rd bay from the right and another to the penultimate bay to the right. An earlier 19th-century gabled bay at the outer right has an off-centre window opening to the left of the ground floor and a small window opening set in the gablehead. The penultimate bay to the left and the outer left bay were not seen in 1998.

The SE elevation is a mid-19th-century 4-bay asymmetrical front. The penultimate bay to the left has a bipartite window, flanked by a small horizontal 6-pane window to the outer left, with regular fenestration to the remaining bays.

The SW (courtyard) elevation is asymmetrical with 10 bays. The central 18th-century bays have a missing roof. A doorway with a boarded timber door is located at the 5th bay from the right, with a small window opening in the flanking bay to the left. A gabled ingleneuk with a replacement stone slab roof is advanced in the flanking bay to the right, featuring a small window opening to the centre of the ground floor. Another doorway with a boarded timber door is at the penultimate bay to the right. The flanking bay to the left has a doorway, and a mid-19th-century blank bay is advanced to the outer right. Windows occupy the centre and left bays of the left return, with a harled 20th-century lean-to against the bay to the right and a boarded timber doorway. The right return has a window opening with a window flanking to the outer right. A large doorway with a boarded timber door is located at the 7th bay from the right, and the left return has a window opening set in its gablehead. The 8th bay from the right is advanced with 2 wide openings to the right return and an open shelter to the left return. The penultimate bay to the left is recessed with an off-centre opening to the right. The bay to the outer right is advanced with a window opening set in the gablehead and a doorway off centre to the right of the right return.

The W range is arranged in a near L plan with projecting cills.

The NW elevation is an early 19th-century granary and cartshed range, 2 storeys high with 4 bays. Each bay has a flat-arched cart shed opening with a continuous timber lintel and chamfered reveals. A gabled 2-leaf boarded timber loading door breaks the eaves at the penultimate bay to the left of the 1st floor, with openings to each remaining bay.

The SW elevation is an 8-bay asymmetrical front. A mid-19th-century enginehouse occupies the advanced 5th bay from the right, with a window to the centre of the 1st floor and a wide opening to the ground floor of the left return. A rectangular plan coped advanced base to a former stack breaks the eaves to the left of the right return, with a window opening, boarded timber door, and a gabled bay (obscured by an adjoining building) to the right. A boarded timber loading door occupies the 1st floor of the 6th bay from the right, with an off-centre opening to the left of the ground floor and openings to the penultimate bay to the left and outer left of the 1st floor. A 2-leaf boarded timber door with large metal hinges is located at the 3rd bay from the right, with boarded timber doors to each flanking bay and a window to the bay to the outer right.

The SE elevation is blank.

The NE elevation is a 7-bay asymmetrical front. Openings to ground and 1st floors are found in the centre bay and flanking bay to the right, with a ground floor opening to the flanking bay to the right. A timber lean-to addition with a corrugated iron roof is advanced to the penultimate bay to the right. A blank gabled bay is advanced to the outer right with a window to the 1st floor of the left return. Doorways are positioned at the penultimate bay to the left and the bay to the outer left of a single storey block.

The S range is a 20th-century addition, comprising a single storey U-plan range with wide flat-arched openings.

The windows are of varied types, predominantly with glass missing or damaged. Early 18th-century buildings have red and grey pantiled roofs with coped stone skews and terracotta ridges. The remainder have purple grey slate roofs with stone skews and lead ridges. Ridge stacks are coped with circular cans. Cast iron rainwater goods are present throughout.

The interiors were not seen in 1998.
