Old Broadwey Farmhouse)

II

Former farmhouse. C17 origins, mainly C18 and early C19
fenestration. Rubble walls, concrete tile roofs.
The original farmhouse is a high gabled building with steep
roof pitch and both ends heated, parallel with and directly at
the pavement edge; attached right is a later building,
slightly set back, and at right angles to the early range.
This later block has a very steep hipped roof, swept down to
one storey at the road end; the N side has a large external
lateral stack.
EXTERIOR: the early block is in 2 storeys, with 2 windows at
each level; to the left are paired sashes with central
mullion, and to the right tripartite sashes in 4:16:4-panes
with mullion boxes, and all to flat segmental heads with stone
voussoirs. Each gable has a Portland stone ashlar stack, with
an additional brickwork section to the right-hand stack.
The later range has a large 16-pane sash in flush box, under a
stone moulded label course. The pavement surface is almost at
sill level to this window and to that immediately left in the
earlier block.
The return front, to the N, which is approached by steps down
from the pavement, has two 12-pane sashes in flush boxes above
a 2-light casement to a concrete lintel, and a C19 panelled
door with fanlight in an arched opening with flush surround.
The lateral stack has been raised in C18 brickwork. To the
right, facing the garden at the rear, is a full-height
hexagonal bay with 12 and 16-pane sashes.
INTERIOR: not inspected.
To the left of the street frontage is a lower building,
probably part of the original farmhouse, but now a separate
dwelling, No.623 Broadwey Cottage (qv).
