History Broadway House is a handsome Grade II listed Regency property. Once part of the Powys Estate, the majority of Broadway House dates from around 1820, though some parts are of a much earlier property that was enlarged as the prosperity of agriculture rose. |

Once comprising many hundreds of acres, over the years the estate has been reduced to its current 26 acres. During recent times, other than a short spell as a Llama farm, general farming on the estate ceased and the farm buildings, including three large stone barns, have fallen into a state of disrepair. The barns themselves contain ancient timbers many of which show the signs of having been used elsewhere, perhaps as ships timbers. One barn, the original stables, is of particular interest as the main supporting timbers have been hand-tooled and constructed elsewhere, and then brought to the site and re-assembled. This is identified by the roman numerals cut into the beams by the carpenter as a guide to show how they should be fitted together. We are in the process of researching the history of Broadway House by consulting county archive records such as census returns, tithe maps, quarter session records, parish registers and wills. Over time we will publish the results of our research on this web page.
