Calls have been made for ideas to help save a historic grade II stately home.

Broomfield House, in Palmers Green, was built in the 16th century but has been badly damaged following a series of fires in the 1980s and 1990s.

Enfield council is now asking people to put forward their ideas about the future of the site ahead of a second consultation at the start of next year.

Architects have been commissioned to come up with some viable options for the future of the house in Broomfield Park.

However, the rebuild is set to cost millions and the local authority is hoping to work with Historic England, the Heritage Lottery Fund, the Broomfield House Trust and Friends of Broomfield Park to find viable ways of financing any renovations

Residents and others can take part in the initial consultation, which runs until November 30, 2015 at www.enfield.gov.uk/broomfield_consultation or give their views at the Palmers Green festival on September 6.

Councillor Daniel Anderson, Enfield council’s cabinet member for environment, said: “We need to make a decision about the future of Broomfield House. The building is in a terrible state and we desperately need to resolve its future once and for all.

"This is, therefore, a final opportunity for residents and other interested parties to shape the future of this historic site.”
