SY6683 DORCHESTER ROAD, Broadwey 873-1/8/426 (West side) 14/06/74 No.625 The Old Farmhouse (Formerly Listed as: DORCHESTER ROAD, Broadwey No.625 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). (RCHME: Dorset, South-East: London: 1970-: 359).
