The Spinney

The Spinney is a small town house built in 1903 by the architect John Douglas. It features hard red brick with sections of grey polygonal random rubble stonework and is topped with a Westmorland green slate roof. The building has two storeys and a square plan, with a left wing connected by a yard archway to No. 11 Bath Street.

The front of the house includes leaded glazing in the upper panels of a 9-panel door set in a flat-arched terracotta opening, which is dated 1903 and located at the inner end of the left wing. The main block has a round turret on the left and an octagonal quasi-turret on the right. The turret contains a 2-light brick-mullioned leaded stair casement, while the main wall has a small 1-light casement and a part-leaded 1-light casement on the front and right oblique face of the quasi-turret.

The first floor jetties out on terracotta corbels, with the left wing featuring a 1-light leaded casement in a corbelled gabled dormer that has a stone apex panel. There is also a leaded light above the doorway and leaded casements of 2 and 1 light in the turret. The main wall has a corbelled shaped chimney on each side, and the quasi-turret has a leaded light at the front and a 2-light leaded casement on the oblique face.

The roofs are hipped, with the turret sporting a steep conical roof that has a hipped lead lucarne and a finial, while the quasi-turret features an octagonal spire with a lead finial. The right side of the building has a 3-light mullioned casement and two 2-light casements on the ground floor. The first floor is stone-panelled and includes casements of 2, 3, 1, 2, and 2 lights, with a gable featuring lozenge-shaped plaster panels towards the rear. A shaped chimney is located at the back of the house. The interior has not been inspected.
