Broomlands House

Broomlands House, dated 1719 and possibly designed by William Adam, features a mid 19th century addition and alteration. The building is two storeys high, with a basement and attic, and has a five-bay front facing west. It is constructed from sneck-harled rubble with ashlar dressings. The basement serves as a plinth and has rusticated angle quoins at both the ground and first floors. The central door, accessed by railed steps over an area, has a mid 19th century pedimented doorpiece added to the original lugged surround. The flanking windows have been replaced by broad canted bays at the ground and basement levels. The first-floor windows are square, and there is an eaves band and cornice at the wallhead, with a parapet added in the mid 19th century, along with tall rectangular stacks and a pair of gabled attic dormers. The south front of the 18th century house is two bays deep and has been extended to five bays in a matching style, with the new work in coursed squared rubble featuring polished dressings. The roof is piended, platformed, and slated.
