Broad Leys (EHER 36899)

Early to mid 16th century timber-framed house.

House of the early to mid 16th century. It is timber-framed and rendered with a hipped, thatched roof. Generally of two storeys but with a lean-to, thatched extension on the east end and single storey 20th century porch and outbuildings at rear and front. The windows are 19th century casements and there is an off-centre, small red brick ridge line stack. The interior reveals an unusual, fairly complete 16th century timber framed open hall house with an 'in-line' plan form, two-bay hall, bays at each end for solar/parlour and service rooms and a simple crown post roof. There is an inserted late 18th century floor and stack. <1>
