Spring Bank Farmhouse And Adjoining Farm Building

Spring Bank Farmhouse is a farmhouse that has been converted into a house, along with an attached stable or barn. It dates from around 1780 and has been altered over time. The building is made of handmade brick, with the house currently roughcast and painted white. The original stone slate roof has recently been replaced with composition tiles on the house.

The layout is L-shaped, consisting of a double-depth, double-fronted house with a rear wing on the right and the farm building extending to the left. The structure has two low storeys. The house features two 3-light casement windows on the first floor, a plain doorway in the center of the ground floor, an altered window to the left, and an added bay window to the right. The barn or stable to the left has a wagon doorway with a wooden lintel, although the wall above has been rebuilt. There is a buttress offset to the right of center, with a former doorway to the left that has been changed into a window, and two altered windows to the right. On the first floor of the barn, there is a small-paned 2-light horizontal-sliding sash window in the rebuilt wall above the wagon door, a small 9-pane fixed window in the center, and a square pitching doorway to the right, flanked by diamond-pattern breathers. The rear of the barn has additional diamond-pattern breathers, while the rear wing of the house has altered openings.

Inside, the barn features a king-post roof truss with fishbone struts, scarf-jointed purlins, and original rafters. The left room of the house contains two large spine beams, one with a stop-chamfer and the other re-used, along with massive purlins.
