Spring House

This is a former open-hall house, dating back to the 15th century, which was later ceiled in the late 16th century. It has been significantly extended by a wing to the north in the 20th century. The building is constructed of rubble stone with a thatched roof featuring gable ends and stone gable copings. There are three stone stacks: one at the left-hand gable, one at the ridge approximately in the centre, and another at the right-hand gable. The house has 1½ storeys and three windows, which are 3-light wood casements with a horizontal glazing bar, renewed in the 20th century. Two large 3-light eyebrow dormers were added in the 20th century. The front door, positioned to the left of centre, is plank and muntin, with a wood lintel, and is also a 20th-century addition.

The interior is arranged in three sections: a lower end (originally a byre), a cross-passage, a hall, and an inner room. An open fireplace was inserted into the left-hand end around the 16th century, and another open fireplace backing onto the cross-passage was added in the same period. There are three jointed-cruck trusses, with one cruck-post remaining, in the lower end room. The roof retains three sets of through-purlins with wind-bracing in the lower two tiers. A plank-and-muntin partition divides the west side of the cross-passage. The ground floor rooms feature mid-chamfered ceiling beams. The 20th-century north range has rendered walls and a clay-tile roof with gable ends, as well as two brick stacks on the ridge and 2-light wood casements with glazing bars. A 20th-century door provides access.
