Description
Spring Wood is a house built in 1905-1906 by M H Baillie-Scott, featuring an open-plan ground floor and a two-storey studio wing. The building has been altered in 1929 by Cecil Hignett and is designed in a vernacular style. It is one and a half storeys tall, with the main south front displaying irregular window arrangements and a projecting central gabled bay. The roof is tiled, and there are brick stacks with weathered offsets on the gable chimney. The walls are roughcast, and there are flat-topped dormer casements. The house includes ranges of mullioned casements with leaded lights and tile labels. The studio wing features a five-light transom and mullion window on the north side, and the two-storey studio has an open timber roof. The property showcases good joinery and ironmongery.
