Broadclose

Broadclose House is a large Grade II listed country house in Pillerton Hersey, Warwickshire, England, to the southeast of Stratford-upon-Avon. Constructed of Hornton white stone, the house dates to the 18th century.

Broadclose House

Broadclose was one of the finest endangered buildings in the district until 2002. It had not been occupied for at least thirty years and was derelict and overgrown, had no floors and was recently the home of foxes. The house had sunk in the world and been made into several generous cottages with a double porch in the centre; the entrance to once showed an inner vestibule of unusual shape and a steep rising stair. The interior had deteriorated to such an extent that it had to be completely gutted and not a timber survived. The exterior is a sparkling piece of dedicated restoration set off by its effective slate-blue paint.

In 2002 the house was extensively refurbished.
