Description
Spring Bank is a mid-19th century building located on New North Road in Highfield. It is constructed from rock-faced stone with ashlar dressings and features a pitched slate roof with ornamental cresting. The building has two storeys and presents a symmetrical composition with coped gables.
The outer gables are adorned with two-storey canted bays and spherical triangles that include hoodmoulds at the gable ends. The ground floor windows are sashes divided by colonnettes featuring Romanesque capitals, and the area between the stories is decorated with blind inscribed quatrefoils. The first floor windows mirror the ground floor design but include trefoiled heads and moulded cornices.
The adjacent ranges have doors flanked by colonnettes with Romanesque capitals in the jambs, topped with cusped fanlights and hoodmoulds. These ranges slightly project forward and feature single lancets in the gables, along with tripartite sashes that have 2-centred cusped heads and hoodmoulds, separated by colonnettes with Romanesque capitals. The first floor also has bipartite windows separated by colonnettes with Romanesque capitals, topped with segmental hoodmoulds.
