Description
Broniarth Hall is a farmhouse dating from the early to later 17th century, with possible earlier elements. It features a timber frame that has been refaced with colourwashed brick on the main southeast elevation. The building has two storeys and attics and appears to consist of two construction phases, with the northern end being the earlier part. The current layout includes a central stair hall with a stack that serves rooms in the later structure to the south, which may have been rebuilt. At the rear, there is a one-bay wing likely contemporary with the initial build. The parlour end includes an additional rear parlour that forms an 'L'-shaped wing with a rear gable stack, along with a kitchen added to the back of the service wing. An outbuilding at the southern end now provides a secondary entrance.
The central door is boarded and framed heavily, set beneath an open 19th-century gabled canopy. The windows, also from the 19th century, are timber and consist of two and three lights, with those on the ground floor featuring transoms, stone sills, and segmental heads. There is one gabled dormer at the parlour end. The front brickwork shows evidence of two phases of refacing. The south gable end is jettied at both the first-floor and tie beam levels, though it has been underbuilt and is mostly concealed. Carved brackets support the jetty beam, which is moulded with three ovolos separated by quirks (visible within the outbuilding). The posts display hanging rope carvings, and the tie beam features incuse squares with quadrant 'brackets' that create a strapwork effect, with the lower arris chamfered and decorated with chevron patterns. There is a blocked window in the gable, and some close studding is visible on the early rear wing.
Inside, the central stair hall has main framed trusses on either side and contains a late 17th-century stair with one flight and straight splat balusters. The main parlour features twin deeply moulded spine beams with cut stops. The attic has collar beam trusses and two tiers of purlins. On the first floor, there is a passage running from one end to the other.
