Description

Springdale and Mid Slack are a pair of cottages dating from the early to mid 18th century, with an added cellar from the early 19th century. The buildings were altered to create three cottages but now function as two dwellings. They are constructed of watershot masonry and feature a stone slate roof.

The cottages are two storeys high, with original paired doorways at the centre; the right doorway has been blocked to form a window. On either side of the doorways are former five-light double chamfered mullioned windows, although two of the mullions are missing. To the right, there is a 19th-century cottage that projects forward under a cat-slide roof, which is part of the main range. This cottage has a doorway with a sill tie to the left of a former two-light window, with a similar window above on the first floor, both of which are missing their mullions. The cottages have coped gables with stacks, and there is an additional stack on the ridge. The rear has been altered at ground floor level but retains two flat-faced mullioned windows with slightly recessed mullions, featuring four lights on the first floor.
