Description

Broomhead Mews in Dunfermline is an earlier 19th-century building with later additions. It consists of a two-storey, linear range that includes an arched carriageway and a cottage located to the northwest of Broomhead House. The cottage features a ground floor made of rubble honey-colored sandstone, while the rear is predominantly rendered. The rest of the structure is made of stugged grey sandstone, with raised margins at the windows, quoins, and eaves course.

On the southeast elevation, there is a bricked-up window to the far left and a door to the right. The carriageway has an elliptical arch made of ashlar voussoirs and a plain keystone. Above the arch, there are two tiers of dove flightholes with projecting cills. The cottage to the right has a central door and flanking ground floor windows, with two dormer windows centered above on the first floor. The far-right cottage also has a central door and flanking ground floor windows, but features a replacement single horizontal window above. There is a window to the right, and a wing at right angles connects the house to the mews, with another window at the far right. The dormer windows and archway are adorned with a decorative ashlar cornice and finials.

The southwest elevation has a plain gable wall. The northwest elevation features a rear door to the cottage with replacement steps leading up to it, and a window to the left. The northeast elevation is covered by vegetation.

The building has replacement fenestration, with rooflights at the far right on the front and additional rooflights at the rear. The roof is piended and covered with slate, with lead flashing, and half-piended to the northwest. There is a corniced ridge stack to the right of the arch and a polygonal clay can. The cottages have two tall, corniced ridge stacks, with a partially rendered central stack and four polygonal clay cans.

The interior was not seen in 2000.

The gatepiers consist of a wall extending from the southwest gable of the mews, running southwards with ashlar coping. It terminates in a chamfered gatepier topped with a pyramidal ashlar coping stone, accompanied by a pier to the right. A low wall with railing behind the right pier ends in a smaller, similar pier.
