Spring And Well Cottage

Spring and Well Cottage is a house dating from the late 16th century and the 18th to 19th centuries. It is constructed of limestone rubble and rendered brickwork, with some timber-framing, and features a thatched roof with brick stacks. The building has a three-unit through-passage plan and a gable outshut, standing two storeys tall. The front has three windows, each with three-light casements on both the ground and first floors, and a door located to the left of centre beneath a 20th-century thatched porch. To the right, there is an outshut that continues under the main hip of the roof. The left gable wall is timber-framed above the ground floor, featuring an inserted stone stack with a brick top. There is a central ridge stack and an additional stack rising from the outshut through the hip. The rear displays some first-floor timber framing with large panels and braces. Inside, there is an open fireplace with a chamfered and stopped bressumer and three heavy trusses with braced tie-beams. The first floor was originally timber-framed.
