Broadlane was originally called Diglane, and was the home of the Cratchley family until Sir John Glynne purchased the building in 1749. He appears to have largely rebuilt it in 1757 and
given it a show-piece facade to be seen from the new house which was built opposite, and which replaced the C17 Broadlane Hall. Whilst the house contains much C17 timber, and a fine dog-leg
stair, all of these elements appear to be reset/re-used and there is little evidence now for the original arrangement of the house. until c.1910.
T-shaped plan on 2 storeys plus dormers. 5 bay symmetrical brick facade under a medium-pitched slate roof with dentilated eaves and plain brick end-chimneys. Central 6-sided
wooden cupola with tiled roof, arched openings and a hanging bell. Decorative iron weathervane (dated 1757). Wide open pediment occupying the 3 central bays with a large oculus in the pediment
