Description
43 and 44 Broad Street is a three-storey building constructed in Flemish bond brick, featuring five bays. The façade is divided by stock brick pilasters, and it has a slate roof with bargeboards and boxed eaves. A freestone eaves band runs along the top, and there are moulded caps on three brick stacks located mid-roof, with a lateral stack at the rear right. The second floor has two-light casement windows set under the eaves with a sill band, and the first floor windows are topped with blue brick round arches, freestone imposts, and keystones. The narrow central bays have a cambered arch, with a two-light casement window featuring fanlights and a sill band.
On the ground floor, there is a 19th-century shopfront on the left, flanked by two-light bays beside a recessed glazed door. The shopfront includes a rectangular fan, a blindbox, and a nameboard. A plain round arch leads to a central tunnel passage with a plank door. The right-hand bays mirror the first-floor arches. There is a robust fanlight above a panelled door with sidelights to the left, and a similar fan with a three-light window to the left.
At the rear of No 43, there is a three-storey outshot with small paned sash windows, generally featuring gauged brick voussoirs. Additionally, there are good contemporary stables behind No 43, consisting of three lofted units with windows flanking the doors. These stables are built in English garden wall bond brick, with a whitewashed ground floor and a gabled roof that is part slate and part asbestos. The stables have round-arched windows and cambered doorheads, with later double doors added to the end wall and subsequent blocking on the front right. A loading door is positioned above the central stable door.
