Description

Spring Farmhouse is a cottage dating from the late 18th century, with alterations and extensions made in the 20th century. The building features a chequered pattern of red brick and dressed stone, which has been painted on the front and side. It has a wheat straw thatched roof with gabled ends and brick gable-end stacks. The layout consists of a two-room plan with a central entrance, and there is a 20th-century outshut at the rear, along with an outbuilding at the left end that has been converted into an extension of the living accommodation in 1995.

The exterior is two storeys high with a symmetrical front that has two windows. The windows are small two-light casements with horizontal glazing bars. There is a central doorway that features a later glazed porch. At the rear, there is a single-storey 20th-century brick outshut with a pantiled lean-to roof. Inside, there is a large fireplace in the left room that includes an oven, and much of the original joinery is reported to remain.
