Sprigg'S Farmhouse

Sprigg's Farmhouse is a house dating from the 16th and 17th centuries. It is timber-framed, plastered, and has a roof made of handmade red clay tiles. The main range, which is from the 16th century, has two bays and faces southwest with a central stack. To the left, there is a one-bay extension from the 17th century, and both sections are one storey high with attics. A mid-17th century cross-wing with three bays is located to the right, creating an irregular T-plan, and features an external stack. There is also an 18th-century lean-to stair annexe at the rear angle. A 20th-century ancillary building is attached to the right of the stack.

Inside, the 16th-century main range has jowled posts and curved tension bracing set within heavy studding. The roof is not fully accessible but appears to be of clasped purlin construction. There is a large wood-burning hearth facing to the right, which has two shouldered niches and jambs that are 0.33 meters wide, with a recessed seat in the rear jamb. The left hearth has been converted to accommodate a stove. There is a chamfered axial beam with lamb's tongue stops to the right of the stack, while the remainder of the floor is plastered. The ground-floor partition between this range and the cross-wing has undergone significant alterations in the 20th century. The cross-wing features a chamfered axial beam with lamb's tongue and notch stops, typical of around 1630, and also has a clasped purlin roof. The farmhouse was shown as "Sprigs" on Chapman and Andre's road map of 1777.
