Description
Springfield Farmhouse, dating from the late 18th and early 19th centuries, stands alongside an adjoining barn. The farmhouse is constructed from watershot hammer-dressed stone with a graduated stone slate roof. It originally comprised three bays and three storeys, with a barn attached to the left and a flat-roofed 20th-century extension to the rear. Bay 1, the oldest part of the farmhouse, features five-light recessed mullion windows with king mullions on each floor, and a blocked doorway on its right side. The remaining bays 2 and 3 are set back and contain a doorway with a keystone lintel, alongside four-light and three-light recessed flat-faced stone mullion windows. Gable chimney stacks are present. The rear of the farmhouse has similar six- and five-light windows. The ground floor at the rear is obscured by the 20th-century extension. The barn has a segmental-headed cart entry, a winnowing door, and a shippon door at the lower end. The building has group value.
