Broadview is a three bay timber framed building. In 2006 a dendrochronological assessment was carried out by Tree-Ring Services. Ten samples were taken from the timber frame of the building. Two precise felling dates in the winters of 1593/4 and 1594/5 indicate that the two northern bays were probably built as a single phase in 1595 or soon after. No samples were dated from the southern end bay of the building so it is not known if this was also built at this time. (1)
