Spring View

Spring View is a house from the early 19th century, constructed from tooled-and-margined stone with an ashlar quality front and a Welsh slate roof. This rectangular villa features twin wings at the rear. The front elevation is two storeys high with three symmetrical bays. It has a plinth and sill bands. The central entrance consists of a six-panel door beneath a fanlight with intersecting glazing bars, flanked by rounded pilasters that support an archivolt. The windows are 16-pane sashes, although the lower leaves have been replaced by 20th-century casements. The hipped roof has a pair of stepped-and-corniced ridge stacks, which were noted to be in poor condition at the time of the survey. The two-bay returns display similar window styles, and the two rear wings contain 20th-century small-paned casements set in older openings. The rear elevation features projecting wings with coped gables on moulded kneelers and truncated end stacks, flanking a gabled stair projection that has a round-arched window, with the glazing recently renewed. Historically, this building served as the manager's house for the Bedlington Iron Works.
