Description
Springwell Cottage, built in the 1830s, is a house made of sandstone ashlar and furrowed masonry, topped with a slate roof. It has a rectangular double-depth plan and features a short service wing set back on the left side, with a greenhouse built into the angle. The cottage is two storeys high and has three symmetrical bays in a classical style. Notable architectural details include rusticated long-and-short quoins, a first-floor sill band, and a Tuscan porch with three steps leading up to a glazed door. The windows are four-pane sashes with moulded architraves and cornices, and the building has projecting eaves and a hipped roof with chimneys on the side walls. Attached to the left end of the cottage is a greenhouse, which has glazed and panelled doors near each end and a pitched roof with ornamental iron cresting. At the rear of the house, there is a round-headed stairlight window among other features.
