Description
Spursholt House is a house that dates from the 17th century, with significant alterations made in the mid-19th century and late 20th century. The walls are constructed of brickwork in both English and Flemish bonds, featuring some cambered openings on the ground floor. The roof is tiled and has multiple gables, along with two hipped sections from the later periods, and includes a Tudor chimney stack with three diagonal flues.
Originally of medieval origin, the building has undergone considerable reconstruction. It consists of a tall north-south block with three wings on the west side, two of which are older and joined, displaying coupled gables. An east wing, which was added to at the rear in the 20th century, connects to a tall T-shaped unit from the late 20th century, replacing a late 18th-century Gothic structure that had a castellated appearance with corner turrets.
The irregular layout of the house is primarily two storeys high, with an attic in the old north-south section, and the elevations of each section are mostly regular. The windows include casements and some sash styles. The entrance is located within an arched porch that projects forward. Inside, there are a few minor features, such as beams and irregular small rooms, that indicate the building's considerable age. The house has been downgraded in listing status due to the alterations made in the late 20th century.
