4/323 Broadley Farmhouse
-
II

Farmhouse, disused at time of survey, 1985 with the right-hand end in use as a
farmbuilding. Circa mid C17, alterations of C19. Stone rubble and cob, the first
floor rendered to the front. Corrugated asbestos roof gabled at the left end, some
slates remain at the right end which is hipped. 3 stone stacks: One projecting at
left gable end, the other slightly to the rear of the ridge. The original plan may
have been a 2- or 3-room and through passage. The hall stack backs on to the through
passage. A straight joint suggests that the inner room has been rebuilt or is an
addition. The position of the stacks indicates that the house has been refronted and
re-roofed although the through passage plan remains intact. A rear left outshut
under a slate roof contains a dairy and part of the stair. 2 storeys. Asymmetrical
5-window front with a gabled stone porch with stone seats and a segmental-headed
doorway. Further entrance on front into inner room which is in use as a cattle shed.
Ground floor window right is a 3-light casement under a timber lintel. Two 2-light
casements under timber lintels to the left of the porch. Five 2-light first floor
casements high under the eaves have slate sills.
Interior Segmental-headed rear doorway to passage leads into rear outshut. The hall
has a slate floor and a large fireplace with a chamfered timber lintel concealed
behind a circa early C20 mantelshelf. The hall has a fixed timber seat below the
window, the remains of some C19 panelling and a cream oven. A stair rising from the
hall has bobbin balusters. The inner room fireplace has a roughly-chamfered timber
lintel, inner room ceiling no longer exists. The lower end room has a C20 fireplace,
possibly concealing earlier features. The trusses appear to be C19.
