Description

Sparth Top is a terrace building dating from the early to mid 19th century. It is constructed of hammer dressed stone and features a stone slate roof. The building is two storeys high and has two entrances. The windows have been altered over time, with the first floor originally having two multiple light windows containing 12 and 13 lights, though some lights have been blocked, resulting in 3 and 2-light windows. Additionally, the east end of the building has been extended at a later date.
