Springbank Cottage

Springbank Cottage is an entrance lodge with attached gatepiers and gates, likely built around 1857 by John Fox for Robert Ellershaw, or possibly between 1885 and 1886 by William Thorp for William Harvey, in connection with the main house, No. 53. The building is constructed from coursed rock-faced sandstone with gritstone dressings and features a graduated Welsh slate roof and cast-iron gates.

Designed in the Jacobethan style, the lodge is one and a half storeys tall and has two bays, with a gable end facing the road and a gateway that projects from the porch. It has a chamfered plinth, chamfered mullion windows, stopped hoodmoulds, and curvilinear gables adorned with ashlar kneelers, coping, and finials. The entrance front includes a central porch with a pointed-arch entrance, a tall gable featuring a raised shield, and an inner Tudor-arched board door set in a chamfered surround. This is flanked by two-light windows, with two single-light dormers positioned through the eaves above. There is an offset cross-ridge stack with triple diagonal-set flues. The right gable has a three-light window beneath a two-light window, and a gable motif with a hoodmould.

The interior has not been inspected. The gateway includes a short section of wall that connects the porch to the northern gate pier, while another section extends from the southern gate pier and turns at right angles to end at the roadside pier. This wall is approximately 1.5 meters high and features chamfered coping. The gate piers are square in plan, with plinths, two-piece pyramidal capstones, and lucarnes. The double gates consist of two horizontal sections with bars and rails that create cusped panels, topped with a scalloped design and fleur-de-lis finials.
