Spring Farmhouse

Spring Farmhouse is a house dating from around 1500, with a cottage added in the 18th century, now joined together. The building is timber framed, plastered, and has a roof made of handmade red clay tiles. The house features a two-bay hall that runs approximately north to south, with an axial stack from around 1600 located in the southern bay. To the north is a parlour or solar bay, and to the south is a service bay. At the northwest corner, the cottage consists of two bays aligned approximately east to west, with an axial stack at the western end. There is a 19th-century extension made of plastered brick beyond the cottage, as well as a small single-storey extension to the south. A 20th-century single-storey extension connects the house to the cottage.

The building is mainly one storey with attics, while the 19th-century brick extension is two storeys tall. The west elevation of the house features three 20th-century casement windows and two additional casements in gabled dormers. A 20th-century door is located at the angle between the two buildings. The house has jowled posts, heavy studding, and some wattle and daub infill. Inside the hall, there is display bracing and a blocked plain doorway leading to the parlour, an inserted floor, an axial beam, and pegged clamps. The central tie beam and its arched braces are missing, but there is a doorway framed through the tie beam to the solar that dates back to an early period. The hearth, inserted around 1600, is made of 0.33 metre brickwork, with a mantel beam featuring mitred stops. The floor in the service end consists of transverse plain joists of horizontal section, supported by pegged clamps and an axial beam that has mortices for a removed partition. The service bay retains its original crownpost roof, while the roof to the north has been rebuilt, reusing some medieval smoke-blackened rafters. The cottage has lighter framing, with unjowled posts and primary straight bracing exposed on the interior.
