Description

Spring Cottage is a house, possibly originally two cottages, dating from the early 18th century. It is constructed of coursed limestone rubble with timber lintels and features a thatched roof with brick gable stacks. The building has a three-unit plan, which was formerly one and two units, and stands two storeys high with attics. The front has three windows, each with three-light casements on both the ground and first floors. The outer lintels extend over blocked doors, with the entrance now located to the right in a later gable outshut. Inside, there are open fireplaces with bressumers, chamfered and stopped beams, and a staircase that rises to the attics. There is also a cellar beneath the central room.
