Description
Spring Farmhouse is a farmhouse built in 1693, with later alterations from the late 18th century and 19th century. It is constructed from coursed limestone rubble and limestone ashlar, featuring steeply pitched slate roofs with stone-coped gables, some areas of pantiles, and a tumbled brick-coped gable at the rear. The building has a large central ashlar tripartite ridge stack and a single brick gable stack at the rear.
The farmhouse is designed in an L-plan with a single-storey late 18th-century addition at the rear, creating a Z-plan layout. It stands two storeys high with a garret and has a five-bay north front. The central doorway is a lobby entrance with a bracketed hood, a wooden lintel, and a partially glazed door, above which is a datestone inscribed with "E.I.M. 1693". To the right of the door are two windows, and to the left is a single window, with four windows above, all of which are 19th-century two-light casements inserted into original mullion window openings.
The east gable wall features a blocked mullion window with a two-light casement inserted into it in the garret. The west gable end has two blocked mullion windows stacked one above the other, a plain sash window inserted on the ground floor to the right, and a two-light garret casement with a wooden lintel inserted into a mullion window opening. Inside, there are two very large back-to-back inglenook fireplaces with chamfered bressumers and salt boxes. A 19th-century staircase winds up to the rear of the stack, and several large chamfered beams are present throughout the interior.
