Description

Spring Cottage is a timber-framed building, likely dating from the 18th century. It was originally plastered and has been refronted with painted brick. The roof is thatched. The cottage was renovated at an unspecified time and has one storey with attics. Modern casement windows have been installed, and there are three dormers on the front elevation. A ridge chimney stack is visible.
