Description
8 Broad Street is a three-storey building with a slate roof and a yellow brick chimney on the right. The structure is partially timber-framed, featuring a front made of painted smooth render with some scribed lines that imitate ashlar. The rear of the building has rubble stone on the ground and first floors, while the second floor is constructed of red brick, indicating a later extension.
The front has eight windows arranged in a 4 + 4 pattern. The low-pitched roof has deeply overhanging boarded eaves. The windows are generally small pane hornless sashes, although there have been some changes over time. The second-floor windows are set under the eaves and consist of nine panes, with the second and sixth windows from the left being blocked. The first-floor windows are taller and have twelve panes, but the second and third windows from the left feature modern glazing. The ground floor includes shopfronts dating from around 1900 and the mid-20th century.
The eastern gable end is rendered, while the western gable has some slate hanging. The rear of the building has modern additions on the ground floor.
