Description
12-13 Broad Street is a 3-storey building with a buff brick frontage and a slate roof, featuring gable end stacks. The front has a 2-window range, with the ground floor divided into 2 modern shop fronts. Above, there are wide 16-pane sash windows on each floor, each with flat arched rendered heads and stressed keystones.
The rear wing is rendered, with the lower floor rebuilt in brick on its eastern elevation. The upper storey is box-framed and jettied, remaining intact behind the rendering, with a visible bressumer and some moulded brackets. The rest of the upper storey features square panelled framing with wattle and daub infill. The framing in the gable has been removed and replaced around 1990, but the framing on the inaccessible western elevation is said to survive intact.
Inside the rear wing, there is a large blocked central fireplace and transverse main beams. In the attic storey, there are 2 closed trusses with windbraces, and the central truss shows smoke-blackening, featuring a king post and curved braces to a cambered collar.
