Architect: George Somers Leigh Clarke
A fine but restrained Jacobean-style house of red brick, designed by George Somers Clarke for John Balfour and built in 1874-76. It stands on the site of a smaller house built in 1825 for Maj-Gen. John Slessor and known as Broadway Farm. As originally designed, the house was L-shaped, with the principal rooms facing south, except for the main dining room which lay in the east wing adjoining the service accommodation.
