Description
Broombank is a late 19th century, rectangular-plan, two-storey, three-bay gamekeeper's house with a single-storey, two-bay wing set back to the right and a lean-to addition at the rear. The front is constructed of rubble whinstone, while the sides and rear are made of harl-pointed rubble, accented with cream sandstone dressings. The house features timber bargeboards, stugged quoins, and stugged long and short surrounds around stop-chamfered openings. Sandstone mullions are present in the bipartite windows, which also have projecting cills.
On the southwest (front) elevation, there are steps leading to a boarded timber door that is centrally located at the ground level, adorned with decorative wrought-iron hinges and a two-pane fanlight above. Bipartite windows are found on both floors in the flanking bays, with gabled first-floor windows that break the eaves. The single-storey wing on the outer right has single windows in both bays.
The northeast (rear) elevation features the main block with a lean-to shed offset to the left of centre, and a single window at ground level in the outer right bay. The single-storey wing on the outer left has a timber door in the right bay.
The windows throughout include four-pane upper and two-pane lower glazing in timber sash and case styles at the ground level, and four-pane lying pane glazing at the first floor. There is a two-pane upper, plate glass lower timber sash and case window at the rear, as well as four-pane upper and plate glass lower timber sash windows in the side wing, along with small skylights. The roofs are covered with grey slate and terracotta ridge tiling, and the property has cast-iron rainwater goods. The apex stacks have been rebuilt in brick, with a corniced ridge stack on the side wing and various circular cans.
The interior was not seen in 1997.
