Broadhurst is a heritage-listed detached house at 138 Flinders Parade, Sandgate, City of Brisbane, Queensland, Australia.

[1] This single-storeyed timber building was erected by the turn of the century, at which time it was known as "Broadhurst", and was the residence of Hugh McCall Hicks, and his wife Florence.

With the extension of the railway from Brisbane to Sandgate in 1882, the permanent population grew, and weekend holiday-makers turned the township into a bustling seaside resort.

[1] In July 1901, members of the Brisbane Hospital Committee visited Hicks' residence, which was adjacent to the premises being rented for use as a convalescent home at that time.

James Stodart, a Brisbane businessman and Member of the Queensland Legislative Assembly for Logan, was chairman and treasurer of the Committee at this time.

Allotment 6, immediately to the north west of the convalescent home had remained in private ownership until 1918, at which time it was transferred to the Crown, and was later included in the Maternal and Child Welfare reserve.

[2] Broadhurst, located fronting Bramble Bay and a foreshore reserve to the northeast, is a single-storeyed timber building with a hipped corrugated iron roof.

Wide verandahs on three sides have been enclosed with fibrous cement sheeting and casement windows, and a projecting bay section is located on the northwest.

[1] The central northeast entry is surmounted by a small gable with a fretwork panel and is accessed via a twin stair to a landing.

A second arch is located separating the front section of the hallway from the rear, and has pronounced timber imposts, extrados and keystone.

The two main rooms on the northwest have bays with sash windows and are separated by a double sided fireplace with timber surrounds.

The southeast side of the front section consists of one long room, the original dividing walls having been removed.

A head height partition screen with fixed glazing and central doors divides the space, and a kitchenette is located in the southern corner.

[1] The grounds contain a number of mature trees, including a group of three camphor laurels to the southwest, and an adjacent poinciana to the west.

Although the verandahs have been enclosed, evidence of original detailing and materials exists which suggest the visual contribution this building once made to the Sandgate foreshore.
